Message:: [QUOTE="JBlade00, post: 1463736, member: 37468"]So I got the 9 and 5 coin lots yesterday. Most was to be as expected. The 9 coin lot coins are all in pretty rough shape. It did have an 1835 CB - Half Dime with F-VF details. However, it's beat up pretty bad (Damage + some corrosion). Also, the 1805 Half Cent is a medium 5 (oh well) and most likely in FR2 - AG3 condition. the 1853 half dime, 3cent silver and 3cent nickel are in relatively good shape (VG+) but have a rim nick or a scratch on them. 1865 2cent is in pretty good condition (F+) but has quite a bit of PVC on it. The 1818 large cent looks to be problem free but pretty worn on the reverse. Most likely an AG3. the 1853 cent has nice details (F+) but is really beat up (bent, flat rims in places, scratched). Overall I'll maybe keep 1 or two and sell the rest back on ebay (with better pictures and full disclosure). The 6 coin lot is actually much better than expected. The seller was pretty dead on about grading and might even have been a bit modest in grade. Only issue I see on any of the coins (besides a little PVC) is a little scratch on the 3cent silver coin. Will most likely keep all of these as they have a nice natural patina tone. Nothing really picture worthy but overall I'm happy with those two auctions. I was expecting a little more from the 9 coin one, but I think I'll probably still make a few bucks selling the problem coins back. Pretty excited for the book to come today.[/QUOTE]
