We all know I can't grade real coins, so HELP ME!!!
Any thoughts on the nickel? Also a couple of toners out of a 56 mint set.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

Something must be wrong with your computer than!
I think 65 is probably right for the nickel.
Can't tell on the toners, but I'll say 65/66's
2nd. UNC, low MS
3rd. AU that toned
hey marty, since you have the coins in hand, shouldn't you
help us out with your thoughts first?
i am beginning to feel like my guesses really suck.
<< <i>The Liberty Nickel looks like a 65 to me. I can't tell on the 56 set coins.
I agree completely.....can't tell on the Mint set coins due to the nature of the crackled toning????
It's hard to tell with the mint set coins. I can see some nicks on the Frankie through all that haze, so I'd say probably 65 on that, as well. no clue on the quarter. Neither coin looks particularly well-struck, though. (All of this ignores the toning (i.e., eye appeal) completely. It might just be the image, but the coins look too encrusted to be marketable with "market grading".)

As far as the mint set, things from 1956 have a way of looking older than they really are.
