A Box of 20....should you decide to accept the mission, Mr. Phelps.

You have to quickly assemble a box of 20 coins. Requirements are as follows.

All U.S. coins.
Each dated pre 1965.
No silver, gold, copper or nickel.
Each coin must be graded by PCGS or NGC.
Your budget for all of the coins is no more than $300.
Dupes are ok.

Steel cents would fit the bill.

But they"re not slabed

The NGC lot is consecutively numbered. Must have taken him forever to find all those coins in order.

Not sure on cost.

Is there a 1/100 oz?

Smudge · October 3, 2018 11:31AM

It was so small, I lost it.

asheland · October 3, 2018 11:33AM

How about chocolate coins? Or those experimental plastic and glass coins from WW2. Peace Roy

So are you the winning bidder? The consecutive numbers of the same gradr is impressive!

I did win the lot. Have been fascinated with the steel cent since my brother showed me a circulated one when I was about 6 years old. I figured that it was the only one in the world, well out side of the 200 million others, it was.

Congrats, I do love the look of a clean steel cent, not to mention his 25 brothers. IMO you got a good deal.

Tough to buy those for under melt.

ricko · October 4, 2018 6:21AM

Now that is interesting... I have a couple rolls of steel cents... original. That is an amazing set and sequentially numbered as well. Good buy. Cheers, RickO
