muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7192 Posts	Posted 05/26/2011 8:14 pm I missed out on a chance for a 20 cent piece years ago and I'm still disappointed I did not acquire it. Report this Post to the Staff
schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 05/26/2011 9:22 pm The mystery bag had just about everything you could think of. I'll post pictures on a bit of it soon since I'd like some opinions on condition. It did have what I believe to be a AU Barber dime, a MS grade walking liberty (absolutely amazing luster and very few flaws that I could readily see). A great condition 1897 silver Philippine peso, a dozen or so liberty Seated dimes, a few 2 cent & 3 cents, along with a large cent and Half Cent (which has a hole through the bottom of it , as it seemed to have been used as a necklace at one time).

schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 05/26/2011 9:47 pm A friend of mine found out I was into coin collecting and gave me a price for the bag and I bought it. I paid around $600 for the bag ;) Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 05/26/2011 10:02 pm It looks problem free so I expect PCGS would grade it, probably around XF-45. I'd want to minimize cost by sending it at the Economy level which requires at least 5 coins. Let us know what happens! Report this Post to the Staff
Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 12:24 am That could be AU. Heritage auction has some that look much worse at AU58. Sold in the $500 range in 2010. Great find. Report this Post to the Staff
schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 07:37 am Jaobler - What would be the best way to determine what other coins I have that I should send in? I'm going to get a list tomorrow of everything that was in the bag I purchased. I know the Philippine Peso is in absolutely excellent condition along with the Walking Liberty half, however I'm a bit unsure on the Peso as they don't seem to be worth overly much on the market. My goal is to sell off a few of these coins to make back my initial investment, then keep the rest. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 08:17 am I agree with the XF-45. These are tough in higher grades - this is a real find. It might make AU but might not have enough luster remaining to push into that territory. Regardless, a super nice example. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 2:16 pm Is it just me, or does the "Liberty" on the shield look a bit off? Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 05/28/2011 12:19 am Saw a very similar coin listed on a non coin related site. Problem is, this is an 1875 S.....not a Phili mint product. Report this Post to the Staff
