Got these at a local pawn/swap/antique place here. They said they are real. Hmm. I took a 15 dollar chance. Thoughts? The package is from 1995.  Edited by louismarcel

No its a cool display that you don't normally see out there per se... The coins I've seen in most of those little encasements are normally wizzed banged polished cleaned dipped spit on and ran through rock tumbler.. I'd say it was fair-ish

Not too bad. The large cent is probably worth that alone.

OK. So a fair deal. I think these displays are cumbersome. Break it open to put in my danesco/Whitman albums?

I think you did fine. It appears to have at least $15 worth of value assuming it is a 1909 VDB in that hole.

That is good to hear! If you don't like the holder they're in, absolutely bust them out.

It looks like a decent deal to me. In fact, you probably got a better deal with these coins inside this holder than if you bought them separately. But these holders take up too much space. I would probably take the coins out, especially if I wanted to put any of them into a book.

OK deal IMO, not great and not terrible. I don't see any harm in cracking them out.

eh. could be worse, but not the best. I would've saved the 15 on something in better condition. I can understand if you're just starting to collect that those kind of coins are pretty cool, especially a large cent, but they don't hold too much value. In my opinion, it's better to save and get that EF,AU, or MS coin rather than gather a bunch of VG coins. Your choice though

If you like it that is all that matters. You did not over pay. I like it.

Decent price. I too would just break them out and place in my Albums.
