acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/11/2013 4:22 pm This was truly overwhelming. Of course Bjorn gave me little hints of what was in this lot, as he remembered them from his notes of the appraisal. I actually looked at the Wheat Cents last - not because I was saving them for last, but because there was sooooooooo much other stuff that I have not seen, in hand, previously. The Fugio cent was definitely a highlight. Looking for the BIG money error coins (just in case), looking at the key dates in the sets (the 3 legged Buff is a NICE, circulated coin), finding a 23 S Standing Libery Quarter in the "bullion" pile of quarters, looking for full bell line Franklins in the Mint sets.......oh my...it just continues.

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 12:31 am Stopped by the coin shop on Friday to help/view finishing off the final inventory of this hoard. In this hoard, there was a small canvas bank bag of "error" cents. 90% of these were post mint damaged coins. About 20 cents and nickels were clipped. Minor clips, but still clips. I had the pleasure to check ALL of the Lincoln cents (1909 to 1937) that were stored in yellow paper flips. The owner of the hoard had labeled and graded every coin. Assigned grades a little high on some and low on most. The new owner has sold off about half of the 31 S Lincolns, so I pulled, inspected, and gave each a grade. Some of these are UNC, but have the nasty GREEN on them. In the storage container for the 31 S, at the bottom, was two pieces of paper. See pictures attached. Can you imagine OWNING that many?

Oh there might be something that may have some value, but it most likely won't be the 2009's Look at the 1959's, they had lower mintage and weren't widely saved like the 2009's were. And after 50+ years how much of a premium are they bringing? Little to none. Report this Post to the Staff
