    Yes, and yes.
    What were your thoughts on the coins?

    Clad issues. But nothing to keep

  • cameonut2011cameonut2011 Posts: 10,181 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes

  • TimbobbTimbobb Posts: 302 ✭✭✭

    I didn't see your other post. Yes the coins are damaged and dirty. The coins are worth face value.

    Please be more selective about what you post. All of the coins you picture are nothing more than coins that have spent some time buried. They merit no numismatic premium.

    Someone needs to study up on coin grading, state of wear and post mint damage. This way you can go thru lots of coins, learn what you see and hunt for that diamond in the rough. Our host has all that info and then some. And use the Google. Peace Roy

    The coins spent sometime intimately enjoying the environment. I would set them free into circulation after awhile they will “clean-up”.

    To answer the question they are both dirty and damaged.

    Looks like they were found under a washing machine, bottom of a wishing well, beneath some bleachers, etc.

    Throw them in the dish washer for the next cycle then give them to that red kettle when you pass by. Happy Holidays!!
