<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1391724, member: 28447&quot;]For being an excellent salesman lately, my boss put together 5 packs of coins, and said I could choose 2, as a reward and appreciation for being a good salesman.&nbsp; I was SO excited, I spent HOURS trying to decide.&nbsp; I finally did. No pics yet, BUT here were my choices and what I picked!</p><p><br /></p><p>Pack 1: 1952-D and 1954 Franklin Half-Dollars. Both in F to XF.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pack 2: 1948-S, 1952-D, 1955, and 1944 Washington Quarter-Dollars. All in F-15 to VF-35.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pack 3: 1946-S, 1948-S, 1949-D, 1955-S, and 1958 Roosevelt Dimes. All but the &#039;49D were in AU to MS-62ish.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pack 4: 1936-S Lincoln Cent, 1950-S Lincoln Cent, both BU. 1973-S Eisenhower Dollar, kinda smudgy for a proof. There was also a 1974 &amp; 1977 Mint Set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pack 5: 4 BU Nickels, including a 1950-D! Other years were 1964-D, 1959, 1960-D...and I believe a NCO club token from the Vietnam War.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chose Pack 1 and Pack 2. I picked pack 1 because I only had 1 Franklin Half-Dollar previously. A 1963-D, in AU. So, I wanted to give Ben some friends to play with. I also picked pack 2, because as you may or may not know I recently traded some silver WQDs for my one and only 1932-D that I recently shared. So, I wanted to recover some of my lost trade and get my album back up and going.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ALMOST chose the pack with that 1950-D Nickel. I even offered to buy it! He said it was not for sale, but it may come up for grabs again! All the nickels were gorgeous, but that 1950-D was speaking to me! It had this really, really great &quot;gun metal&quot; color toning to it. Full steps, but some VERY minor blemishes on the obverse. I would rate it at roughly MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also really loved the BU cents, but I am not working on putting together a Lincoln album or anything...YET. However, that does not mean they did NOT look amazing and they were very tempting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the time you took to read my post! I am just very excited about my new pick-ups and will share pictures in the new acquisitions thread soon!&nbsp; I told my wife, but as she is NOT a collector at ALL she really did not care much. So, I decided to talk about it with my numismatist friends!</p><p><br /></p><p>--Rob.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
