<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 830933, member: 16510&quot;]These are still out there in the market stuck in little old mens basements and proping up doors.&nbsp; The value $60 is a good buy and if unopened a very good buy for resale.&nbsp; I suspect on eBay it would bring well over $100 if an<b> original unopened mint sewn bag.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If opened $60 to $75 is the right price.&nbsp; This was still within the roll collecting phase of coin collecting and many were saved.&nbsp; I have searched them before unopened from the mint/fed many different years.</p><p>If you can find one of the doubled dies die #1 or #2 reverse you may find many and could hit a home run here.&nbsp; Also any clips or off center strike on so on.</p><p>The way I always did this is first dump them out on a large table and generally go thru them looking for the errors first.&nbsp; Next take 6 or 7 samples (50 or so) from all sides of the pile.&nbsp; Search these for doubled dies.&nbsp; If none are found it&#039;s going to be a long night, (or day) for you through the rest of them because there may not be one thing in there so far as doubled dies are concerned.&nbsp; Searching 5000 BU coins of the same date is the hardest search of all esp. if your not finding anything.</p><p>You can also look for die markers to speed the process.&nbsp; If you keep finding a coin that is not a doubled die and it has strong die markers on it you can just discard as soon as you see that.</p><p>There maybe gems in there, maybe not even if there are it&#039;s a common date and that&#039;s not going to be your home run most likely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
