<p>[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 8867, member: 669"]None of them are "from" 1957. They are from 1958-75, as indicated in the mint marks. Use a magnifying glass, at the very minimum 5x, and if your eyes are like mine, preferably 10x or more. The very first step in valuing them is determining the actual year of minting, then looking at the grade. "Real good shape" is not a grade recognized by the coin collecting community, and just how much detail must show for a particular grade varies somewhat according to the coin. Extremely fine (XF or EF) generally means that there is very light wear, all features and details of the design are sharp and well defined, and there is some trace of original lustre. Good (G), Very Good (VG), Fine (F) and Very Fine (VF) have more wear. Better coins have multiple descriptions according to the grading system being considered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
