[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3979672, member: 74863"]First, welcome to CT. We are here to give honest answers, not mess with you. Having said that I would ask you to reconsider your story. The S was minted in San Francisco, the D in Denver and the no mintmark was minted in Philly. It would be physically impossible for the Mint employee to work in all three locations in the same year. Your friend the antique dealer would have bought these from a 75 year old if he was 18 when the Mint first hired him. They are minted in 1943, that's 57 years ago and at age 18 he would be 75 when he sold them in 2000. The next 19 years just make it worse. The D and S coins look replated while the other coin looks more normal. The Mints do not share coins. They each manufacturer for the areas they serve. I'm not sure what you mean by them being in a plastic/cardboard holder for coins but this was not from the Mint. The type holder you describe certainly sounds of a newer after market item. To me, all three coins look to be worth one dollar. My local coin dealer sells them 6 for $1.00 or $.17 cents each in this condition. I have 5 sets in different conditions because they are so cheap.[/QUOTE]
