You're Not Going To Believe This One....silver Lot

sweet deal! I will have to hunt to find some buy it nows like this. Sounds like you bought a few nice lots from him/ her as well! Congrats again!

What was your key word search as the sellers title seems pretty specific (no mention of silver, Morgan dollar, Walking Half, etc)

Are these decent silver coin pricings?:
(self serving post but this is the first time I have sold coins.)

ACCESS DENIED

Tomorrow morning these coins will finally arrive. It took the seller a little longer to get them dispatched than I might have preferred, but they've been checked through their final stop before being del'd to my PO.

Tomorrow I will have 260 coins from this seller to sort through.

Aside from the silver shown in this thread, I predict that of the 69 Indian heads I bought, 10 or so will be VF or better and will be staying. Hopefully, a couple will make it into my set.

Of the 40's nickel lot, I predict no fewer than 32 War Nickels.

Those are my predictions, based upon some pretty lousy pictures. We shall see what tomorrow brings. I'll post better pictures of the material tomorrow, later in the morning after I've had a chance to assess the lot.

I hope the circulation cameo of the 1899 Morgan is as nice as the jpeg would seem to suggest. If you can't have them in high grade, then to me, having a great patina is the next best thing. I may set aside a tray in my storage system for silver coins with exceptional circulation cameo and seek a few other issues. I think it would make an interesting and attractive little sub-set.

I went through all of the stuff and didn't find anything too exciting. The silver is what it is. The 1886 Morgan's probably an AU-53, while the 1899-O is a VG or so, maybe even fine. Of the rest, the 1935-D quarter is bent. The rest of the jun silver is without real issues. the Barber quarter is a 1912-S.

Of the nickels .... There were 21 war nickles, and 39 from 1953-55 that are high AU with pretty much full mint luster. I don't know that there's any real interest in those. There's a whole bunch of 1955s. The most notable thing in that lot is that I discovered that the 1954-P dies were rustier than all git out.

Of the indians ... there was an 1886 type 2 in G-4, and 4 that are VF or better. Those I'll keep, though they don't fill holes in my set, or even upgrade any issues. Of the 4 the 1892 was the best one. It's EF-45.

I'll take some pictures a little later. My mom's got issues with her dish network TV, so I have to go over to her house and sort that out....after I eat.

Now I just need to sort out some lots to sell myself and recoup some of the investment. Buying is easier than selling. I'm much better at buying. Selling becomes necessary though....when liquididity is an issue. That's where I am now. Some stuff (most of it) needs to go to others who need their "fix".

Chance

I once won a BIN for 100 face in wheats for ten dollars. The next morning I received an email from the seller saying they no longer had the pennies in stock and they were sorry.
