1961/64 Proof Set's: Any Value Here?

LeeG

I was wondering if anyone thinks anything here is worth submitting? I've got my eight free submissions. I'm trying to find my eight best coins to submit for this. Personally, nothing stands out to me. What do you guys think? Would I be out of line if I keep posting additional coins here for thoughts on if their worth submitting? Thanks, Lee

I agree with you.

I would only submit if they are Cameo.

I'd look a little further than that!

I think there are some known varieties in those years. Can anyone confirm that there is a 61 double die dime? I seem to think I remember that.

Submit for what reason? I suppose if you get lucky and turn a nice profit by slabbing a coin it makes sense. It's the only reason I can think of. I buy them either to put in albums or just because I like the coins. I don't need to submit them to confirm that the graders are a whole lot better than me at grading. Couple the lack of grading skills with a lack of patience for going through tons of coins to find one that turns a buck for me, I'd rather spend my time and energy doing else.

The submissions are not actually free, they really are pre-paid submissions. There are a lot of coins out there for sale as a result of the "free" admissions that sell for less than the slabbing costs.

Remember, you paid $30 for each of those submissions. Even if you were going to submit these, think about what they're really worth, and whether they'd be worth the $30 you paid. That said, I don't think these are worth submitting.

There are hundreds - literally hundreds of different doubled dies in ALL denominations of proof coins between 1961 and 1964. A large number of them are at least visible with a 10X loupe, and many of them are valuable. To ask if there is "a" doubled die for 1961 dimes is a very open ended question - there are likely many of them.

Although I don't know dimes well, I can tell you there are a few very nice doubled die reverses for 1961 cents, as well as a number of nice doubled die obverses for 1962 cents. 1963 and 1964 cents sport the largest number of doubled die reverses in the entire series thanks to the proof issues of those years.

Don't get yourself stuck into thinking that the Cherrypicker's Guide listed die varieties are all that's out there and all that are valuable. The CPG missed a large number of decent die varieties. It is an overview book, not a comprehensive attribution guide.

There is a 1961 DDR Frankie that's worth a tidy sum. Of course, it's worth a tidy sum because it's rare.

Thanks guys for all the outstanding comments so far. I remember reading previous post's about a pointed 9 dime in the 64 set? True, any pictures? Thanks again, Lee

Russ

Pointed 9 on top. It's not worth any more than the blunt 9 unless it's high grade NGC UCAM (PCGS doesn't designate them).
