    You have mentioned a few times how good the $700 quarter set is, but your pictures start on page 4 of the Dansco album with the early 60's silver and then start of the clads....

    This is your picture, near the top in second row is a 1961-D and left of that are part of the reverses from the previous page. Just to the left of the 1961-D is the reverse of the 1951-D. The condition of the coin in the 1951_D spot is good / maybe Very Good....

    The most money in a full Dansco 1932- Washington quarter album is the first page, then second, then third, then 4th.

    I do not see anything showing me the coins in your $700 album are better than any of the linked eBay albums....

    I suspect there are very few pawn shops that would be disappointed with you taking away their business with the accumulation of mint sets you purchased.

    Thats true and as I mentioned earlier. At the time I took the pics I had no idea I was going to be looking at quarters and didn't know to take pics of the 32 etc. I thought he was bringing dollars but I would have been in the same boat anyway. As I found out here there are no short answers.
    I am hoping to look at them again this week and if I can I will get pics of all pages and post here for advice. In the event, he still has them, I still like them and wish to take at that moment (impulse). At what grade point in the 32 d is your cut off? Or if it falls below said grade do I still offer a price?

    Based on the pics at pcgs and what I remember seeing of the 1932 quarters, I'm guessing they would grade between 48 and 54.

    I’m quoting the above for posterity :( .

    I'm glad your having fun with this, so what the heck is in the 2002?

    Remember, I'm a professional. I can't be expected to give away any free advice. Especially since you won't buy my proof and mint sets for LESS than you paid the amateur, I have to make my money somewhere. :smiley:

    what about the 68, 72, 79, 80, 81

    This is more like a train wreck than a crash course. I was expecting a bit of VAM dialogue.

    Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !

    If you do not know what the key dates/mintmarks of a series are, you should not be buying a complete set - unless you are doing it with entertainment cash.

    The fact that you took many pictures of extremely common coins very few people want and you DID NOT EVEN KNOW to look for the 32DS etc.......just took a bunch of pictures of really low priced difficult to move material......told me all I needed to know.
    You have got to be pulling our legs.

    Yep.
    The guy who coincidentally walked into pawn shop = great white shark.
    OP = wounded seal.

    Likely the guy moving the coins is working with pawn shop employee, as several other posters have (I think) already said.

    Sometimes people write extensively for the benefit of a wider audience than the OP or active posters, we have many lurkers who read but haven't joined yet. Or for the challenge of articulating interesting thoughts.

    At some point, all of this has been said countless times in the past, and will doubtless be covered in the future. Who knows, maybe coinscratch will help educate the next wave of newbies in 10 or 20 years.

    If he's just having troll fun here, well played. Enjoyable for all.

    I'm not convinced this poster isn't worth a little time. He may just be stubborn and not trolling. People on here give up on people too quickly...sometimes based on their first post.

    I agree. The sad part is, many gung-ho collectors buy and accumulate stuff for years before they try to grade or sell anything. What they thought were nice brought uncirculated coins end up being cleaned or whizzed XF/AUs and they spent multiples of coins worth buying them ... partly because they 'believed seller' and were getting a 'good deal'.

    Y'know, y'all are free just to ignore the thread. Instead, it popped back up because YOU commented on it. You, ironically, not me.

    Okay, I kinda get it now. I'll try to be more quick and to the point in the future. So I guess I had it coming. Sorry for calling yall a bunch of losers and queens :). Nonetheless, I bought the quarters today anyway. Here it comes, Eeeeeeekkk.

    I don't know why my pics don't come out in the order I loaded them. The 1967 looks pretty good.

    Take the 1932-D & 1932-S out of the album. Then take some good pics of each coin both sides so they will look like these & post them.

    I like the color on the 61, 63 and reverse of 66.

    If you like set, then you did well.

    I will post those individual pics later tonight. And after comparing to other pcgs pics I'm guessing mine will be lucky to hit vg10. But the 67 and 82 look promising.

    Do both the coins in the 1932-d and 1932-s holes have mintmarks on the reverse? Obverse and reverse photos of those two coins would be very helpful.

    Yes, I will post them tonight after work, along with some close ups of the mint marks.

    don't be so harsh jmlanzaf, you do not want to squeeze the sellers profit so much that 'the wifes dead grandpa' can not go to a dealer, buy stuff and churn his collection some more with the sellers other relatives' share.

    I remember a seller on eBay that was selling dead ancestors stuff forever, in small yellow envelopes and older typewritten descriptions.

    It is ironic that the nice man in the pawn shop knows nothing about coins but always manages to find a retail+ price to charge this guy.

    Why? Anyone who doesn't know how to grade or anything can easily find retail+ prices. Consider the "alternative" prices for comparison on home shopping clubs.

    Exactly. He had no trouble finding prices (to pay) far above retail. I think we are making the same point. It is hard to explain to someone that their lovingly collected statehood quarter set is actually worth below face value because the bank just won't accept it in the fancy packaging and someone has to unwrap it first.
