The other coins were four Kennedy half proofs, 1966-1973 dates. A 1971-S and 1985-S Proof Roosevelt dime. A 1907 Barber dime. Some foreign currency including two 1939 Nazi Germany coins, and a few more odds and ends. I was happy :) |

Gives me some hope for the numerous yard and garage sales conducted in New England all the time! Nice find! So what did you pay?

For these, $5. I then went through the rest of his coins and picked up some more. Nothing like these though

Not a garage sale, but got an Indian Head cent out of the CVS self-checkout last week. Beat to the Bejeezus with an indecipherable date. Gave it to the the clerk I know and said "This is old, save it." She liked it. |

Just an update, I sent these two Franklins off last night for slabbing. I figured what the heck, I only had a couple bucks into each one.

Awesome deal. I might have to hit up a few rummage sales this season  As others have pointed out it would cost more to slab then them than the return on your investment on the grading cost. |

Sent them off last night to be slabbed for $10 a piece. So all in, I've got $12.50 a piece in them. If they come back 65 or higher that would just be a bonus. I figured what the heck...I was already slabbing 22 Morgans so I threw these in just for the heck of it.

Why not? I'm anxious to see what they come back graded at. Of course, I bet you are too.

Who did you send them to? $10 each for grading from a top 3 TPG is a steal. |

Sent them to ANACS. Our club was having a special, as our President is an ANACS rep.

Great picks! It's the way of the world - buy low and sell high, just ask any coin dealer. Most non-collector folk who bring in coins to sell to a dealer know little to nothing about their value. They're just happy to walk out that door with cash in their pocket. Knowledge is power (with a few extra bucks thrown in) for the savvy coin collector.
