Chicago23 Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 12:39 am I was just given these from an uncle and I see these full strike coins with a D & P mint mark with Ms before the grade. Yet they're not considered a business strike or a proof are they? Edited by Chicago23 03/07/2020 12:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7059 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 02:11 am Disregard what's on the labels...INB....basement grader, full strike means squat. Business struck coins would be graded in MS (mint state). Proof coins would be graded PR (proof) Edited: I'm sure your Uncle meant well, but I'd bet he overpaid for those coins Edited by Greasy Fingers 03/07/2020 02:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
Chicago23 Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 02:51 am That's what confused me, I didn't see one Ms 70 on the population report and I know it's virtually impossible to get one with a business strike coin. After I posted I looked at the company on the slabs and it all clicked. They still or most still look way different than business strikes I see and think maybe I should get this graded. Kinda of scares me how far away I am from even getting a 65-66 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 05:52 am Don't bother getting them graded,it would cost more than the coins are worth. Keep them for the sentimental reasons, and attach a note about what you learned about the coins/slabs here on CCF. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
