hope and pray the results cover the $150k

I'm seeing ten or fifteen dollars worth of coins pictured.
I'm more curious what you mean by 150K Are you saying you basically paid one-hundred fifty thousand dollars for these? in the form of a wager

Yep I agree there isn't one coin I would get slabbed.

Great story, and even if the coins aren't worth much, at least you won the hand!

Wow ... looks like I've been had. Just a note : all photos were taken with coins in their protective storage.

I think I'll start with sending the 1975 No S Mint Mark, based on what I just read. Little to lose!

Thanks to all for your replies!

If that really is a proof, then yes, you 100% want to get that graded. But the weakness in the strike and the rims tells me that its just a PL business strike dime. But I really do hope its a proof. Please post more pictures of it so we can get a better idea of the surfaces of the coin.
Edit: After looking at some stuff, it just looks like it came out of a mint set unfortunately, not a proof set.

Hi Coop, as always thanks for your educational advise. The guy I played against was kind enough to also give me the Mint Sets from where Items a) to e) were extracted. I can only take his word for it. I do see the spot in the mint set from where the coin was removed.... but who knows?

Hi MacMercury, I asked the same question and my opponent told me that he was at some sort of Coin Conference/Convention in the Los Angeles, CA area before he meandered to Vegas.

Hi Merclover, the hand was worth a little over $950,000.00. So I got $800,000.00 since I was duped on the coins. We did not have much time to discuss in detail the worth of each coin. He did explain that 5 of coimaterins were extracted from Mint Set and was kind enough to also give me the Mint Sets (I guess to make me feel at ease). I have the 1946 Nickels at a local university Material Laboratory where the coins will analyzed for material composition. I was just told over the phone that results will be ready in the morning but it appears Silver has the strongest (tallest) peak thus far.

I'm crossing my fingers.

Can we see the set the 1975 dime came from?

Who the heck that plays poker, calls a "club" a "clover"?
A near Million dollar hand, all in at 475k each at a Las Vegas casino...... here take my pocket change too..
That's not even how "all in" works buddy. When someone goes "all in" they play for all they have on the table, no more, no less. That's the bet amount. If you go all in for 475k and he was in for $300K and only had $300 dollars left. He goes all in for his last $300 on the table and it's a call.
Lol.


I declare shenanigans! Cool Story bro!
