Thats an unusual compilation of US coins. I can't gauge authenticity or surfaces from the photos. I also don't understand the logic of why the specific coins were selected. I also can't read the ebay item description as it appears to be Spanish, it may be another language but it certainly is not English. What compelled you as a Canadian collector to purchase this unusual assemblage of coins?  |

Interesting accumulation! Shipping cost wasn't trivial.

That's an odd set of coins. Good luck.

The seller had a similar Canadian set for near spot. I jumped on it.
I was able to negotiate this set for 600 Euro, plus free shipping.
I have no idea what I bought. Ill take a look if its a 1942 over 1. I highly doubt it tho because it sounds like a spicy (pricy) meatball.
Any other rarities I should look for in these dates?

This is a really bizarre custom holder. Need a closer look at the 32-D and S quarters, these often have mintmarks added, they look ok from the pictures but its better to be sure. If real they go for about 300 each in AU. The 36-42 proof cents all have fairly low mintages, the 1936 has only 5000, and it comes in two different finishes, satin and brilliant. Yours is brilliant. PCGS has 1936 proof cents at 650 in PR-63 red. Theres 2 different 1942/1 Dimes, one from Philadelphia and one from Denver. The Philadelphia one is very obvious, (it looks like 19412) but the Denver is more subtle, look for the bottom of the 1 at the base of the 2. The 55 "bugs bunny" variety is on the half dollar, the name comes from clash mark that makes ben franklin look like he has buck teeth. 1960 S.D means small date, specifically on the cent. It's considered a necessary variety for a complete set of cents, but its not a valuable one. This is pretty much everything off the top of my head. I think you made your money back on silver content alone.

Odd selection of coins indeed. Some key and semi key dates included. The 42/1 dime, '32 s and d quarters, 38D walker just to name a few. What was the cost of this collection? If genuine you may have some high end coins there. Of course there is that possibility of "Too good to be true"

This set contains an actual 1942/1 error. The details are immaculate too.   It looks cleaned to be honest. But I'm still happy. What should I do with it? Keep it or should I grade the entire set of coins and sell them? Honestly some of the other coins are super high grade. Edited by wilsonwu89

What was the cost?

That 1942/1 dime appears to be authentic and AU/MS details cleaned. It alone in a TPG Details slab is worth more than the ~$683 you paid for the set. If it were mine I would submit it to PCGS, get it slabbed and sell it. I suggest you take photos of the 1932-D and 1932-S quarters and post them here for us to see. They as well could be expensive coins. I wonder what the seller was thinking when they put this set together? Scary thought - could all of these be the newest versions of high end Chinese fakes?
