Message:: [QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 686461, member: 20480"]Finally, after working on this for awhile, I have whittled my inventory list down to something more managable. Below are the coins I feel stand some chance of distinguishing themselves in the market. What remain unlisted are either raw generic dates, or common certified coins for which I failed to record the serial number. Exceptional group of Seated Half Dimes<ul> <li>1844 PCGS MS65 S/N 21797238 (Bright white coin)</li> <li>1847 NGC MS64 S/N unknown (red & blue toning around light centers)</li> <li>1848-O NGC MS65 S/N 1940270-001 (creamy color, both sides)</li> <li>1849-O ANACS MS60 Details (scratched) S/N unknown (bright white coin)</li> <li>1850-O PCGS AU58 S/N unknown (dark original tonong)</li> <li>1851-O NGC MS62 S/N 3234472-009 (bands of blue high and low on both sides)</li> <li>1852-O Raw Near Gem (Brilliant obverse, streaky dark toned reverse)</li> <li>1855 Raw Gem (bright coin with some speckling around the rims, loads of die polish on the obverse)</li> <li>1856-O PCGS AU58 S/N unknown (dark original toning)</li> <li>1868 NGC MS64 S/N 3110883-008 (deep blue green, both sides)</li> </ul>Half Dollar<ul> <li>1934 NGC MS63 S/N 3030757-007 (incredible original  - mottled crescent toning both sides . . . just one mark worth mention . . . a pinprick on Liberty's torso.

This fact would be especially helpful in identifying the other coins in my inventory, that are not listed here as highlights. If you run across coins not on this list that possess such markings on the back, please shoot me a mail quizzing me on date of purchase for a given date and denomiation (I can look that information up in Quickbooks, and hopefully confirm that it is mine). Finally, in addition to the coins above, I had brought home 12 $20 gold pieces; specifically 1879-S, 1881-S,  and some combination of 1924 & 1927 (6 & 4 respectively, I think) to use as collateral in acquiring a coin collection. These were part of my retirement savings, and not company inventory, but they were also stolen. Because I bought these coins before establishing my business, they may not have the same cost codes and dates on them. Nonetheless, if presented with the above listed coins, you may safely assume they are mine. To those who will, thank you very much for your generous offer to share your time, - Mike Nelson P.S. -  I still have 24 of the above coins listed on eBay at ludicrous prices, simply to keep images on-line where interested parties can see them by typing my company name (toughcoins) into an eBay search.[/QUOTE]
