    Nice, possible 68.

    Should I put them in flips and have them graded when I have the money?

    Hard to tell much from the pics but they seem like nice examples.

    Save? Sure.
    Submit? No.

    They are nice but I would not grade them 68. Maybe 66 and not worth the fees. I would slide them into a flip and put them away as a nice example if you like.

    You would need to hit 67 to break even with the price guide $46.00 and there’s no guarantee you could even get $46 if you did. I would just save for now or put in an album for several years to develop some toning.

    Here are the 68s from CoinFacts. Note the luster on these. Also compare the depth of the strike in the hair and devices. Cell pics only tell so much you will have to be the judge.

    Also possibly struck from solid gold.

    The odds are about the same for both possibilities.

    Weren't a quarter billion of these minted? I guess if these are among the finest in existence they might be worth more than 25 cents.

    I'd spend them.

    I need to put the phone down, I’m looking at cell pics through a cell phone :D
    68s would look and pop like gold!

    agreed.
    Grade? Spare change.
