Nice day for a little cherrypickin.

Visiting my lcs, the dealer ask if I wanted to see some nicer slabbed lincolns. First one I seen was an unattributed 1930-S ms65 rd s/s. Complete with die markers to reference. Picked up a cheap old NGC soap box 1944-S Walker to boot. $120 for the pair, I feel satisfied.

    This is why it's the best hobby. One gets "satisfaction". The Rolling Stones couldn't get that.

    I found a bit of sterling at a yard sale for 2$ I am not home yet so I do not know the weight but I know it is worth more than 2$. And then at and antique shop I bought two silver foreign coins for 2.5$ and melt is about 3$.

    Thank ya! I'm just curious , I was updating my spreadsheet today and when I went to put the value of the s/s I could not find any recent sales history. So should I put the pcgs recommended value ?

    The 1930-S/S Lincoln looks like a very nice coin. Unfortunately, the 1944-S Walker looks like a common date bullion bag of Half Dollars type of coin. The holder can't save it. Was $120 for the pair a good price? I have no idea.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I know the Walker doesn't have much value, but I've had a thing for soap box holders lately so I didn't mind

    Congrats on your 500th post & your Cherrypick! The cents is a Top 100 RPM with a price guide value of $200 in 65. :)

    Yours may be less because of the carbon spots or it may be more depending on demand & availability. It should be worth at least what you paid for both coins so you are in good shape. Nice pick!

    Just got home the piece of sterling weighs 19.08 grams and has a melt value of $8.53 and I paid 2$ for it.
