I got lost in the Dark....

1960NYGiants

I strayed away from my usual Greyside collecting and bought these last week. Arrived today and they look much better than the seller’s scans. Seller said CuNi Gems, Krause states .9990 silver Proofs, 28.28g, mintage 25k, value $50-$60.

So who’s right? Are these CuNi Gems or Silver Proofs? In hand they are not frosted DCAM but better than UNC - matte proof?

Pretty good for about $8 each.

The seller states BU copper-nickel so I'd expect no different. The photos seem to confirm it as copper-nickel is darker than silver.

Nice coins! I just got lost in the dark about half a year ago. It's a great place to get lost.

Nice coins NYgiants-you're not lost in the dark, just travelling through it Ajaan, don't dead kings exist in a weird semi-darkness all the time? Maybe he just ignored the traditional "light at the end of a dark tunnel" at the wrong time...
