    So the dime weighs 2.5 and under scope has mecury dime markings the Kennedy half is a 90 percent silver 1966 and the 1993 is the reverse pics and a cool toned Wheatie

  • Also tested the dime it is also 90 percent silver

  • The quater is one of the few sms 64s I inherited

  • Got no idea of the 75 wht the error is or why it was cased trying to fegiure that out.

  • Talked to a few people just trying to get a better idea as to wht to do with them

  • Like would they be worth grading im guessing the dime and 66 would be but the other's idnt think so

    @Byers OP seems to respect your opinion, do you want to tell him the bad news?

    If you don't like the answers you get on that site or the answers you get here, then the only remaining choices are to pay for slabbing... which is also apparently the answer you've already gotten several times in email.

    Isn't it nice when you get the same answers every time?

    You found that US coins on foreign planchets are worth $1100-1400?

    That information may be cool.

    If by that you mean "that you found US coins on foreign planchets worth $1100-1400", no, sorry, you didn't.

    it's hard to tell from the photo because it is pixelated and blurry

    sometimes people put them in an air-tite because there is value, or perceived value, or sentimental value

    I am absolutely delighted to be proven wrong on everything that I've ever said. Seriously. I have no ego tied up in whatever coin knowledge I've accumulated.. I learned it all from other people and reading.

    However what you view as proof and what the rest of the coin collecting community views as proof are probably very very different.

    Get whatever coin graded by a legitimate organization like PCGS, NGC, CACG, or ANACS and you will have proved me wrong. Just like every single email that you showed above said to do. Otherwise, you're just p***ing in the wind.

    So I thought the same till.o overplayed it and moved it like 20 degrees clockwise that protruding aspect is the exact same fit as on the mecury dime

    All of your coins are about to get pilloried.

    there is no mercury dime in any of the photos above

    And? @Byers posts here often. I'm sure he'll pop by at some point.

    What do your NGC inserts say???

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 38,664 ✭✭✭✭✭

    the 1981-d dime is overweight if the scale is calibrated correctly

    this applies for all the clad coins: just because you can't see the core on edge doesn't mean it's not clad. tis comes as years as a coin roll hunter

    if you are convinced it is an error coin, the send it in under a grading teir plus the fee for error service. keep in mind it's your dime (double entendre pun intended)

    Waste of time and effort OP.

    Even seasoned roll searchers have a plan and knowledge.

    Grab a Cherrypicker Guide and hit Ebay.

    The deluded OP is the reason NGC and PCGS were created.

    just because it is nice doesn't make it an sms quarter. some "really nice and different looking" coins were found from a former mint director at the time. they were examined and deemed "sms" despite no such set being issued to the public. you'd need to prove these are from the former mint director to say it is sms

    I don't have a sigma

    I would hope its rectangular indicator would show it's not pre-1900 90% silver

    however, you won't convince me about it being 90%(not pre-1900 too) by not measuring it as 40% silver(if available)

    Reminds me of the old phrase" don't just sit there like a bump on a log". Now we have "a bump on a nose".

    Sure the photos are good enough to give an opinion. At the very least, the coin’s color looks questionable and it’s not worth getting graded.

    Will you tell us when the 1966 error half dollar comes across your desk in a shiny new slab? Pretty please!
