Group of US coins bought cheap by Brit

They listed the Morgan Dollars as white metal becuase they said they couldn't or didn't check them........so hoping for the same level of excellence regarding my lot.

No clue on Morgans but you sure see a **** of a lot of them on ebay. It seems like there is 25 varieties for every Morgan made. People into Morgan dollars

These just didn't look right to me........edges..........they sold for £60 which is far less than if they were definately real......

 

Yeah, those look faker than fake from my angle. I would think Morgans would be easy enough for any auction house worth its salt to label properly if real.

 

Bare minimum they were worth 180 dollars, Morgans get no cheaper than 30 dollars, and that is for VG. ALL DATES

 

Typo?

 

Looks like there were a whole lot of 1880s in that lot. 29 a piece on those, but it looks like there is 11 varieties. SEE WHAT I MEAN..

I don't think they are worth their salt......hence my hope they haven't cherry picked my lot as I doubt they have the time or a clue what to look for.

 

Yep, my bad. Definitely was an S mint. Thanks for catching that! (Had to look up my old records here...I keep track of all the good stuff I've found.) What I get for posting while I'm trying to write a thesis draft...lol

 

Done my days of thesis.......have Ph.D in US Politics: Federal Election Commission..........not that it did me any good over here...marbury

Hey, depending on what you paid for it (and, of course, if they're real) those could be some nice coins. Make SURE to check out that 1936 D for the 3-legger. What shape is the 1918 S? Also, if that 1926 is an S, that's a keeper...and if you had to guess the 19?D, what would you say it is? Also...there is a variety for many of the Buffs where the obverse is missing a feather at the base of the skull...under the main feather and to the right a little bit. Called the "2-feathers" variety...

 

Scans

Scans plus a couple of 5c in the group too.

 

More scans



No mint mark written for 1926 as it looks so worn as to be unreadable even with loupe.

 

There is also a 1914/3 overdate...might want to take a closer look at the date on your 1914...

Pretty cool to get that shield nickel, though!

 

no overdate

No overdate but these dimes came too.....wouldn't imagine they are of value.

 

They've always got their silver value.

 

Arrived!

No key dates, but the nickels are

1927
1930
1935
1936-D
1936
1937-D

I paid £25 for all the Nickels and IHC.

 

At 25 pounds you paid too much.

 

The dimes came too but yes, I bit disappointing dates/mint marks.
