You are asked to identify the coins that are pictured. They're all coins that I bought these past six months,
(I'm a very unfocused collector) and therefore it shouldn't be a problem to any member, even those without a Krause.
Dates, composition,and denominations are essential, mintage and km# will be appreciated but not an absolute necessity to win.
The most important factor will be to try to determine the value of them (individually). I'll post the list at the end with prices paid.
Please note that there's no guessing in the grades. First lot is BU full luster, or MS64-65 red , second lot is BU + or MS63 - MS66.
This should be taken in consideration when trying to give the values, because Krause prices only refer to average unc
and in one particular case a wild guess is your best bet.
The prize (giveaway) is one of the coins in the lots.
Due to different time zones, all entries are elligible, and
I specifically ask Brad (tbirde56) to post his reply (if he wishes to do so) at the end, when the thread fades out,
in order not to make it too easy for the others.
No, seriously,a complete list of correct identifications will be a major factor,
but the right or lucky guesses of the values (even without identification) is equally if not more important.
