I went down to a Tallahassee coin show, bought a box of junk, and was surprised to find THIS inside

Let me know what you think.

    Love the coins! Great toning! And the 60 year old labels from a label maker brings back memories.

    Definitely a one or two grade bump up in grading if you decide to send them in.

    Nice pair - really like the tarnish (aka toning).

    The typo in the second label really sells it ;)
    Super nice coins!

    It’s the same typo in the top one, only lower case :wink:

    Great job on the photography! How you captured all the toning for every coin without any glare. Such skill doesn't just happen by chance. The reverse side?

    Oh no - I cannot take any credit for particularly good photography skills. I had to photoshop individual photos onto the full shot.

    Toning on the reverses is highly comparable - all are two-sided toners.

    I forgot to say that I don't believe these to be SMS coins, of course. Otherwise, the set would be worth a fortune!

    Ah, that thought did cross my mind, how you mastered the task.
    The Denver coins wouldn't be SMS.
    Any steps on those Jeffs? Reason for my jest!

    A pouch of silver wartime nickels also had a fake 1943 "no mintark" :D . It is not a Henning counterfeit, though.

    A great looking set. I love looking at aftermarket holders with 1964 year sets, as occasionally I find stuff like what you show right there.

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,525 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Someone messed up apparently if they sold the box without valuing this coin.

    Dymo baby, all the way - there was nothing cooler back then.

    Check to see if they are the rare 1964 SMS sets. ;)

    Very nice. I like the Philly set a bit better. What are your plans for these sets?
