Submitted some proofs from the Junk Drawer.

About 4+ years ago I was working on a Toned Proof Set 1950-1964 so I would buy random proof sets that had toners etc. When I decided to sell everything, I still had plenty of stuff that I had not yet submitted for grading. I few months back, I pulled this stuff out of my junk drawer and did a submission with other submissions at Summer FUN. After 44 Business Days, I got the results. I had two 1953 proof sets that I paid about $150 each for in Capital Plastics holders. Anyway, here are the results. All the 1953s Graded Proof 66. The other two, not so much. I did have some hope for the 1957 Quarter though. Oh well.

    Wonder if the junk drawer is entirely full of 90% silver.
    Maybe there is a bullion drawer, copper drawer, and clad drawer also...

    I am so happy that I will never have to compete with you in an auction. I think you have way more money than me.

    I have found that when it comes to toned coins PCGS will most always downgrade them a point or two. Problem is that we now have to collect two sets.......one with high untoned grades and another where the coin appearance is paramount. I just stuff my registry sets in the safe and keep my toned sets close at hand where I can enjoy them.

    You have some keepers in your junk drawer my friend.

    I sure wish the proof coins in my junk drawer looked like that.
