<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 26002454, member: 90692&quot;]As noted, the ‘73 has too much wear on both sides and is a common coin.&nbsp; The unofficial benchmark for slabbing is to have a coin worth at least $150 to justify the costs of grading, attribution, insurance and shipping (insurance and shipping is paid for there and back).&nbsp; You can have lesser value coins slabbed for personal reasons but don’t expect to recoup those mandatory costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ‘59 does appear to be an impaired proof.&nbsp; It looks to have full steps, too, but as a proof it does not qualify for full step (FS) attribution.&nbsp; The TPGs do not award the designation on labels due to the fact all proof Jefferson nickels <b>should have</b> full steps ( if they don’t then it is a poorly struck proof!).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Roosevelt dime is damaged and is only worth face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=114180]@The1thelast[/USER] …you would be wise to trust our opinions.&nbsp; Many Coin Talk members have many decades of expertise in this hobby of ours and we pride ourselves in disseminating factual information.&nbsp; Inaccuracies are dealt with toot sweet.&nbsp; Remember to do your own due diligence on coins you find and post your questions on your research.&nbsp; If you haven’t done so already, go to doubleddie.com ( John Wexler’s website) and read everything there.&nbsp; Once you have read and understand the facts, tenets and concepts listed there it will launch you lightyears ahead as a collector.</p><p>Good luck and keep on hunting!…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
