Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 5:04 pm I bought this yesterday due to an extensivly toned nickel and a beautiful blast white half dollar. I can't capture the toning on the nickel. It is a blue purple and yellow bullseye toning with some yellow. I got the set for $8. The one coin I do not particularly like in this set is the quarter with some frost toning I do not find attractive. Report this Post to the Staff

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 5:06 pm Why are the mint mark on the half so different from the other coins for example the dime? An rpm? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 7:20 pm Hmm not sure about the mm being re-punched.

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 7:42 pm So broken die post? Or something like it? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 7:52 pm Well it can't technically be a broken post on a S mm, but it might be minor chips around the mintmark. Any chance on a better close-up pic of just that are?

Raised on rock Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 08:13 am You bought the set because you liked it. $8 is a reasonable price in my mind. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 10:09 am It looks to be in good shape and $8 is not bad. I would pay that for another 1969 (my birth year) just to have it. I have had two. The original (I got when was a kid) was broke apart to fill Dansco holes. The one I have (intact) was a more recent birthday present from the wife's aunt.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 2:34 pm Absolutely for $8 dollars. We share similar interests in two ways. Blue/violet toned nickels and old Fords.

DanFielding Valued Member United States 233 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 3:25 pm Don't know if I can link to it here so I won't but Silvertowne has the 68 proof set for $9.20 if you want to get another. Shipping is another $5.95. If you buy $99 worth of stuff shipping is free. And no, I do not work for them or am I being paid for this "advertisement". Just passing along a little information I stumbled upon. Edited to change the year to 68 Edited by DanFielding 07/16/2021 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 5:26 pm At $8, if you love one and digg another, you did alright. It was just $8. Just give enough appreciation to the one you love and your soul will be OK. Edited by Collects82 07/16/2021 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
