Excellent!!

 

Yup!

 

Okay you twisted my arm (actually nobody did...) so here are the "after" pictures. I soaked them in vinegar overnight and the rust just fell off with a little warm water. I know the golden rule of "never clean a coin" but these were just too far gone to be worth any more than melt value and now they look presentable and a non-expert wouldn't even know they were once rusty. Besides, I've never been one to follow rules. Here they are:





I don't want to hear any flames. I've already gotten lots of flak for removing the rust in another thread. I'm proud of the way they come out, and now I know how to get rust off of silver coins. I don't ever plan on selling any of my collection, so that is not an issue. I'm happy with the coins. I don't have much money in them, and they look good to me. That's all that really matters.

 

Not change subject but one time and neighbour came by with a small can found in a home it had about 7-10 half dollars looking the same.1892-1944.but no key dates.

 

Any silver coin is a key date as far as I'm concerned. They are pieces of modern treasure, and I get a rush when I find one. I understand what a key date is, but I love all silver coins.

 

MS 65 1950-P was the minimum grade I ask Ngc when sending in a Bu sealed bank roll only 7 graded MS 67 + 2 MS 66 6 MS 65.
But this one regrade should go higher but the old soapbox holder makes it one for a green bean.

 

Just back from NGC !

For my Birth Year set !

 

My 1954 set

 

1961&1957 B Rev a the hardest to find graded
1957 Jello , no selling info in regular posts, must be in 'For sale" forum.

 

The 1950-S is one I've had for a little while, the 1960 proof is one I just got, the quarter and the half have that golden tone going on

 

I love those silver bicentennial quarters. I found one in circulation at work, and I have bought several others, both proofs and business strikes.

I hoard every bicey quarter that I find, and one night I was working graveyard and found a bicentennial quarter and traded it for a regular quarter. Thinking it was just a regular old quarter, I put it into my pocket and forgot about it. Later I took another look at it for some reason and noticed something wasn't right about it so I took some pictures and posted them here and sure enough, it was a silver clad 40% quarter. This is one of my favorite circulation finds of all time.

 

Here's a few from the 1940s that I got recently

This is worse than punching a baby

 

A couple of 1955 Proofs just back from NGC

 

First off, I'd like to congratulate everybody on all the lovely coins they posted. In particular I'd like to give a BIG thumbs up, two actually, to TomB's Washingtons. They are wonderful!!!

I'm putting together a couple of Washington sets. The primary set I'm working on is a slabbed 1940 - 1964 toned Washington set. I picked the years 1940 - 1964 because it gives a logical starting and stopping point, and it cuts out the date/mm that are pricey. I still have four slots I need to fill; 1940-D, 1960-D, 1961 and 1963-D. The set is predominantly MS66, although there is a decent slug of MS65 and MS67 coins. Roughly 2/3 are PCGS slabbed and 1/3 NGC slabbed. You can find it on the NGC Registry site under the SkyMan name.

I am also putting together a raw Dansco 1940 - 1964 toner Washington set.

I was born in 1958, so here are my birthdate coins. Both are PCGS MS67.

 

When I was posting my new Washingtons in the newps thread I noticed I now have all three P, D, & S for the 1954 date so I figured I'd share them all here in one post.
These are all raw.
