I am interested in these coins for my 7070. I am trying to keep the condition original with a nice worn patina. Do these look original in your opinion?

Is $250 a decent deal for these 3 coins I am considering to add?
I have all 3 coins in the VF35 range.

I would shoot for $200 but if you are dealing with a retail coin dealer, you may need to allow that person to make a few bucks.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks numismatic. I will offer him $200 and see where we can go from there. The half dollar is priced a little too high but is an attractive coin. Id have no problem paying $250 if that half had a little less wear on the obverse.

I think they will look very nice in your 7070.

I might shoot for a little less than $250 but not much.

I have bought coins from an online dealer. However, after joining PCGS and getting 4 free grade vouchers, I received 3 that were ok, but the third came back "environmental damage". If you are not concerned about that sort of thing, $200 to $225 seems fair.

Thanks for all the opinions. I decided against the Barber dime; upon closer inspection, you can see green gunk on the obverse- could be verdisgris, pvc or another env. concern.

The CBH is priced at $210; a little too much for that coin since it is only VF35 but he did offer to sell it to me for $200

I may just buy the Seated dime for $29 as it is hard to find one that hasn't been cleaned. That one also has a nice natural patina.


I have also found this Barber dime for $45 so I may jump on it instead.
