Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 6:40 pm @SPP-Ottawa. Thanks for your reply. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but it is what it is. I'm not interested in collecting these, but rather sell them, so not looking to invest money into this endeavor. I have 140 of them between 1958 and 1967, and most are beautiful uncirculated coins, and I was hoping to get better than spot for them. I wanted to understand the differences, so I could be sure to accurately describe them in my listings. So, I guess I'll just post the date and a picture and see what happens. Thanks again for your replies. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 9:04 pm most people sell them as they are.. if they are nice grades just list them as such.. 1967 nice grade, or high grade.. there is no need to list the strike, unless the coin is in an original holder, either the case of the pl film, then there is no need to go further than that in the description.. High quality photos are your best friend when selling on ebay.. I never say proof like, unless it is in the original plastic, other wise I just say nice grade, see all photos..

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 11:23 pm OK - I understand the context a little better now, especially in the date ranges you speak of. Specimen strikes prior to 1967 are really scarce - odds are that you don't have any. 1967 specimen strikes do no garner any premium over PL strikes. Bright mirror fields, sometimes with cameo devices, and thick, well struck rim, tend to be PL coins. They have to be pretty much mark-free, or a really strong cameo, to garner any premium. Matte-like silver dollars tend to be business strikes, and they have to be MS-64 or better, or they are just worth spot. There are varieties to hunt for in the 1964 and 1965 dates, namely the 1964 Missing Dot (PL strike): http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ar-1953-1964 And the 1965 Type V, is worth setting aside in MS-62 and higher: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ar-1965-1989 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/12/2019 5:23 pm Thank you both for your input. I do find the Coins & Canada site to be very helpful. When I went through all these a couple of weeks ago, I somehow missed the Type V on the 1965. I am having difficulty distinguishing the difference between type V and Small Beads Pointed 5 in the pictures. What specifically should I be looking for? Report this Post to the Staff
