Thoughts on these walkers

Could someone who knows walkers provide me with a guess on what you feel these are worth. A possible grade would be nice as well. Pictures arr not that good to define detail.

    A very,very small premium over their melt value.

    I'm going to assume the '38D is NOT in this group. From what I could see, they looked more like XF/low AU coins that may have been cleaned, so I would be at around melt value or slightly higher.

    Thanks guys. If they were High Grade as it states. You would think pictures of the coins would be of better detail.

    I would not buy the roll, as they look to be cleaned. Several look to be VF-XF that were cleaned.

    They look like cleaned, common dates in mid grade. Not worth much more than melt.

    All scrubbed, not worth any premium.

    I realize this is a "me too" post, but I would like to mention that even though the photography is quite poor, the coins have the classic look of mildly circulated (EF-AU) pieces that have been washed with soap and water or have had baking soda used on them. I believe both methods were quite common in the 1950s and 1960s and, given the light circulation on these pieces, it may have been around that time that they were altered. Regardless, coins that have been subjected to this treatment typically have a greyish look to them, muted to absent luster and appear, for lack of a better term, greasy. I would avoid coins like this.

    Please note that with such poor images I am using an educated guess.

    Just a note here.... TomB's 'educated guess' is worth more than five of my 'opinions'... ;) Cheers, RickO
