opinions on 2 walking liberty halves

I was hoping to get some opinions on grading of these 2 Liberty Walking Halves.





Thanks for the help.

They both look like they have been scrubbed clean.

I'd avoid.

Wow not much response.

How about this one:

The 42 and 41 look cleaned to me too. Has that " cleaned with a bar of soap " look. I like the reverse of the 43.

I think they're all in the XF40 range

I wouldn't get the 41 or 42 (cleaned for sure)---I'd say VF20+ on the 43. Unless you are wanting to do a set in this grade there are nicer Walkers to be had in these dates.

I vote VF, XF, XF. The question is why does it matter? These coins trade for melt value +$1 or so from F to XF, about $4 to $5. You can definitely find nicer ones if you look around. AU coins will go for a slight premium, but you might be able to find a good deal if you shop around.

I bought these and a sackfull of others basically for their silver value.

I am just learning about coins, so I wanted some opinions on these. Trying to decide what may be worth keeping and what is scrap.

I paid about 65% of melt value for the lot.

If you paid less than $3.50 each you got a great deal. ($4 each is about going rate I believe)

I paid $2.15 a piece for 58 halves. So I am real excited, great way to start a collection, even if they are only ok condition wise.

I also got 31 Franklin halves for $1.62 each.

MAJOR score! Congratulations. Keep buying 'em like that and you'll do VERY well!!
