<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kbabyjohnson01, post: 1591625, member: 37983&quot;]So my husband decided to buy me something special for my 40-year cancer free status and upcoming birthday. He is an OTR truck driver and I always ask if he has any special coins for me from another region of the US. The other day he brings me a bag and said he bought these and&nbsp; wanted to know if he did good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well.......I really hated to burst his bubble after looking at what he bought. I thanked him for thinking of me but insisted on him telling me how much he paid for the following:</p><p>1971-D Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1972-D Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1973&nbsp; &nbsp; Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1974-D Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1976&nbsp; &nbsp; Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1977-D Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1978-D Eisenhower Dollar</p><p>1979-S SBA</p><p>1980-S SBA</p><p>He tells me he paid $30 for all of them. He thought they were special since they were in a slab and all graded. I explained that there was no name of a grading company on the slabs and these had to be graded/placed in slabs by an individual trying to make them look expensive; all while showing him the scratch marks and such on each coin. I also pointed out that the mint mark was not noted on any slab except the 1980-S SBA. He then asked how much should he have paid for them....I told him he paid about $20 too much but I was still happy with his choice....but from now on leave the buying of coins to me since he has no knowledge at all of what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do y&#039;all think of these?&nbsp; I will say the SBA&#039;s were good choices though. Was I wrong?</p><p>[ATTACH]221962.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221963.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221965.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221964.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
