damcon3 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 7:56 pm I thought some of the Seated dimes looked pretty good. Report this Post to the Staff

wesal94 Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 8:54 pm That's what I was thinking too. At a cursory glance it appears to be a good buy! Report this Post to the Staff
damcon3 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 10:01 pm I just realized it is only $$7.10 in face. I think the bottom rows are Half Dimes. I might be taking a bath on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 10:22 pm A bath? I don't think so. There has to be at least $200 in numismatic value. Should be a fun lot to search. Report this Post to the Staff
jardins Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 01/30/2015 12:26 am I think you did just fine. If you wanted, you could sell them one at a time with some good photos and get more than your money back. Report this Post to the Staff
Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 01/31/2015 07:34 am Maybe it's just me, but the two 1835 nickels look more like Bust Dimes. Either way, I think you did O.K. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 01/31/2015 12:29 pm I've given this opinion before: If you have a group of coins such as these study them to sharpen your grading skills. Pick out the best and the worst (of a type such as this group contains.) Then the next best and the next worse. Line them up from lowest condition to highest condition. Train your eyes to see what is in front of you. THEN, use your favorite grading guide to assign the grade. An educational exercise awaits you. Report this Post to the Staff
