Was this a good buy?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-Thru-1...parms=gh1g=I

Hoping the 1958 is cam and possible 1962 being deep/ultra cam. The reverse pics are not the best, but I think I did okay.

Thanks for thoughts. Can't wait to get them.

I'd be pretty happy with the buy. The '62 is potentially big depending on the grade number you can squeeze out of it, if it makes DCAM.

Nice pick up for sure. Hard to tell from those picks but I don't think the 58 is CAM. The 62 does look very promising though.

At a little over $22 each coin + the holder you did well on the price. Hard to tell from the photos if any are cam, for a cam designation it will need to have the effect on both sides. Love cameo Franklins!

Those look like a great deal. He was lying on the toning, as obviously at least two on their reverse are toned gold and red. But that is a very nice set. I would be very happy with the quality of that set. And agreed the 1962 looks to be in tip top condition! Nice snag!

One does look to have a golden tone reverse but I think the red color is possibly a reflection

So the reverse pictures were not the greatest and I found out why. None were really frosted on the reverse. I did not get the chance to take pictures because I went to a show and sold the whole set there for $205. Got my $5 profit and got out of the gamble without getting hurt. They were nice coins and not many hairlines, but not worth the gamble getting any graded.
