That auction was something completely different, and should not be used as a comparison - those were proof-like strikes from silver proof-like sets, and not business strikes that would be inside a mint bag. Those coins in the mint bag, by definition, are uncirculated and even if they are really 'baggy' they still would grade MS-60...

Even saying they are different strikes...which I do no know much about....In this case , is there really a difference in value? The coin itself still be worth the ballpark area that I posted ...no?

A Proof-like 64 grade is worth bullion... a Mint-state 64 is worth three times that...

Ok so proofs from sets aren't worth as much....did not know that, not sure of why though. Just because one was for circulation? To me..they are both 1963's...both silver, for my collection, I wouldn't care where it came from. So based on the OP posted pictures....what grade and value do you think?

The reason that circulation strikes are worth more in the same condition is that they are a lot tougher to find in high grades....since they were mostly circulated. Proof like, and proof sets were mostly kept intact and not handled.

They look good... put the nice ones into coin flips, so that they don't get any more contact marks.

thanks SPP-Ottawa, thats what I intend to do, and maybe get to the coin show in TO. I have inherited a whole lot more than I originally posted and would like to see what they are worth. |

Now if it were me, I'd make sure that they don't get bumped around anymore than absolutely necessary as every move kills a few more gems.
I would also look for anything different on these dollars ...such as the Arrowhead or Double Arrowhead" variety that I posted in the varieties section here.
I found mine just by chance when I used to go to the bank in 63 and get some silver dollars just for collecting way back when.
Those bags are truly a "fun find"...to me.

what is the arrowhead and double?
I have searched the net and can't really find a clear description of what to look for.

To find info on the Arrowhead variety, ..just stay on this forum and go to the Errors and Varieties in Canadian coins postings. .....and go the topic "1960's Arrowhead $1.00's"...that's at least one page further back there. When I went to the bank in the 60's and asked for silver dollars, they would just give them to me,....but never "with a mint bag". How does one get a sealed 100 dollars mint bag in the first place.? ....and please don't tell us that your family member worked for "Brinks"..way back when...  Was he the 'mint master' by chance..?..  I think that it's great to have those bags....  |
