Rec'd my 2004 Nickels this A.M.......my opinions, grades

Manorcourtman

I rec'd my 2004 p+d $50 bags of nickels this morning. I've been through about 500 of each date. Here's what I've found and seen thus far: The Denver coins are much nicer than the Philly coins. Some of the D's look semi-prooflike. The P's are beat to heck and look like they've been run through a rock tumbler. Someone at the Denver mint must have been taken out to the woodshed because the quality is very much improved this year. Overall P avg. grade: 63.8, overall D grade avg: 64.4......my submission quality coins thus far and my grade predictions:

2004p: MS65: 4
MS66: 1 (maybe)

2004d: MS67: 1 ( about a 66.75, could go 66 because I don't know PCGS's focal point yet)
MS66: 4
MS65: 10+

That's the scoop at this point. I still have about a 1000 more to go. I will post pics tomorrow of the best ones.

Question, Mr. Manor

I've been thinking about buying some bags like you just did. But my question is what do you do with all the ones you have no interest in? Do you just spend them? Just curious

Thanks

Thanks for the post. Mine should be in any day, 500 coin bags. I'll repost when I've looked.

Are any of them "full cuff-link"?

I wonder if my dealer got his yet. I think I call him tomorrow.

I sell the extra's to my local dealer. He ordered rolls and I read they aren't being shipped for about 2 weeks. I think I was one of the first to get them in my region? They were mailed Friday via Parcel post so I was amazed I got them so soon. Although now my eyes look like this:


I also ordered 5000 2003 D's. I'm hoping to find some good stuff because GOD know's noone else has found any!! Still looking......

I received my two bags full of "fill in the blank." I don't think there is a 65 in the bunch. I bought them with the hope of finding something at least in the range of minor marks. The rims all look bad. Last year I bought the rolls and they were worse than this group, yet all in all the coins looked about like I expected.
