New addition

Picked this up the other day. Not a high dollar set but the coins are all gems and the 56 Washington is a ddr. Hard to see the details in the plastic but not sure if I should cut it out or not. I have to swap out the 1964 for a 1963. Not sure why he set it up that way. No. Doesn't have the 1961 ddr franklin or the 1956 type 1 franklin but the quarter makes up for it in my book.

    Anyone on here will tell you: Collect what you like. But make sure you know enough about values so you don't get taken. image

    I can honestly say (and oh how I hate to admit this in this forum) I've been taken twice and it was when I first got in to this. One was a "unsearched roll" of wheats and the other was an "unsearched roll" of Kennedys. At this point, I've pretty much stuck to proof sets and slabbed coins that I could verify and also balance it all out with silver bullion. All in all, I wish I would have started this much sooner in life but glad to be able to do it now. image

    That is kinda cool.

    I actually found it on craigslist. ha ha. It was on there for weeks and the seller lived about 60 miles away from me so I didn't look at it too seriously. I contacted him one day and told him if he was going to be heading to Reno soon, I would meet up with him and take it. He had plans a couple days later to head this way so we met up. One thing I like about it is the Whitmans book it's in. Was printed in 1960 so it's period to the coins. What board is the other one on?

    The board is at coin depot in So cal. It closes every week on saturday at 5:00pm you can call in your bids as well some thing like 2500 lot a week. There is a new board every week a lot to look at. image

    Is this board something you can view online or do you have to go there? I've looked all over the internet and I found them but no links to the board. ha ha.

    You can call them and they will send you a list and you tell them what you want them to bid on if that helps. image
