Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 03/05/2026 10:03 am As I said in other posts, I'm in the process of assessing a neighbor's collection that he inherited from his father. All coins are raw as this was assembled back in the 1960s or so. My photo set up isn't great, especially for shiny, uncirculated coins so these are the best that I can do. I'm interested in opinions from the hive here as to grade as well as any potential issues which might result in a details designation should he send them in for slabbing. Thx!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18740 Posts	Posted 03/05/2026 1:11 pm VF details (cleaned) borderline slab. since it would come back in a details case I wouldnt pay the fees for this one most of the coins here are keys or semi-keys and I believe cleaned. some of them might pass. I think the 55DD is the only one I feel confident about grading straight. Report this Post to the Staff
