<p>[QUOTE="Tanton, post: 2660067, member: 85554"]As it turns out those in the plastic bag were in the highest grades, my guess is he hadn't gone through them yet and kept them in that bag before separating them. I started going through them all individually and a lot of the plated versions seem to be from the same very worn plate with very thin plating, and I found a consistent wear on a lot of them on the reverse through UNIT in united and E PLUR in e pluribus unum. Whereas those in the plastic bag are notably higher grade, from a crisper plate (for the most part) with only a few showing signs of bubbling. My guess is that he was at the beginning stages of organizing them before he started to get sick, and never got to finishing them so they haven't been taken out since probably the mid to late 80s! I just started going through the bag full so I'll try to post some pictures a little later on[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
