I'm reselling the dimes to get my money back, I'm just going to keep all the ones I need and all of the mercs. I'm going to switch them out for a bunch of 1964's I have from roll searching :)

VERY good deal. Great snag. The 3 cent was struck slightly off center as well.

Well struck 3CN. I don't know much about the strike characteristics of that certain date, but I do know the majority of 3CN business strikes are weak at the III. Nice!  Edited by LogPotato

yeah I really wish I had good photo taking abilities. I sold a 3 cent nickel on ebay for more than I bought it. The person who bought it said the coin looked way better in person. I could make more money on ebay with better photos :/ All well. But yeah, so in the end I get to keep 6 silver dimes and the 3 cent nickel and sell the rest to get my money back. Plus I'm swapping out all of my roll search duplicates to keep everything good. pretty happy with this seller. I have bought from him previously and was really happy the first time. |

If you are looking to sell them, consider getting a used album and putting them in there. People eat that stuff up for some reason.

Sound like a great deal. $250 in melt value for the dimes alone and a very nice Three Cent Nickel! A few of those Mercs look to be uncirculated or at least high AU. Edited by Joe2007

Nice score! That three-center makes me want to own one . . . just lovely. (And dimes are such useful little coins, I love them so much even when they're not-really-collectable circulated moderns.) Murellington, may I make a suggestion? Pick yourself up an Olympus camera--you can get a decent one brand-new for under two hundred bucks and it'll do everything but your dishes. I made a "studio" for my coins by lining an old, clean candleholder with white paper and resting my camera on top set on super-macro mode, then using a square of white paper in the holder to colour-correct on the computer--if you've ever seen any of my photos, that's how just about all of them were taken. If you're selling stuff that's worth a nice chunk of change, the camera will pay for itself--the pictures you get will be HUGE, which aids in singling out nice details (e.g., full steps on a Jefferson nickel, mintmarks, die doubling, etc.--I've even taken pictures of some of my 19-teens Lincolns with blurry mintmarks to identify them), and once you have the details you want the picture can be scaled down in a program like GIMP. |

ninamason- How much would a camera like that approx cost? Do you have any examples of pictures you took, and how much was your camera?
And yeah I really want a camera. to help sell coins easier, but also because I like to have an album on my computer with pictures of all of my coins. They just look bad right now.

Great job on those buys Murrellington! I especially like the 3 cent nickel. I've never seen such a good looking one before. |
