When these arrive, I'll update but here's a picture I tweaked a bit of this listing I won ( gambled on ) [eBayItem]130309663679[/eBayItem]
I think I did OK.
I am expecting an AU to BU rainbow natural toned set.
update:
THIS SET ARRIVED 6-10-09
Better than I expected. I have not looked too closely yet but I bet there are 7 or 8 BU's and maybe some border UNCS or choice AU's.
Images will soon follow.
update:
A lot of lousy images on ebay can yield nice coins. I sometimes copy the images and rework them in image programs to get a better look.
This set was removed from the holder, spent the night in olive oil soaking, which lifted some dirt and improved a spot on one obverse.
I rinsed in light soapy (dial dish soap) water solution to get the oil off and immediately submersed them in a fresh acetone bath which is where they are now. I will let them there until the mailman comes with the second set and they will do this routine most likely.
I will rinse these with distilled water, use a hair dryer to blow away the moisture completely and place them in Kointain holders and then put them in 2x2's.
My guess was about right, Some of these will go full step Gem BU, some are probably at worst MS62. There is a strong double punched mintmark on the 1944 D ( I think ).
The ones that are not so hot seem to be the more common war nicks so I can shuffle some doubles around and have a very nice third complete War Nickel set in GEM BU with full steps.
Not bad for about $25.00 to my door.
These are not good images because the coins are submersed in acetone as I take the images. There is a lot of refraction and blur.

You just HAVE to show both sets when they arrive.
I don't know how you see any detail in those pictures.
Good luck.
