Coins are graded as is! Probably worth $200

    I don't think I see $100 there. The 57-D Franklin looks quite nice though and the 55 nickel might be improperly annealed. Also there is no such thing as a 1958-D Proof cent.

    If you are offering the coins for sale, this belongs on the Buy Sell Trade forum.

    None of it is graded.

    Buy it, send it to me with $50, and I will "regrade" it all at least 2 grades higher, by my exacting scientific analysis, and it's value will jump from $200 to $8000.

    Thank you, I am so kind and reasonable.

    For 100 and you have mint sets and some 40% if your in the mood to sort it out sure why not. But for me I would look to see condition of sets and check for any goodies first. Also offer less. Nothing stands out but it’s your money.

    The mint/proof sets are under the glass and not part of the deal I think.

    Aren't the sets still in the glass case and the deal is for the coins on top of the case? That was my best guess. And I would PASS on what is on top with of the case.

    I pull Barber quarters, "frosty" Mercury dimes and shiny Franklins out of my local coin shop 90% box all the time. Hang on to your $100 for a better purchase.

    No don’t see much there for that. Buy a nice Pcgs slabbed walker, Morgan, or Classic Commem.

    Looks like he trying blow out his junk box to u so next show walk up to slab wholesaler buy something nice for retail at the shop. Otherwise it would take him ages sell all that.

    Picked this up on a similar type but and had a grader say it’s 1948-D FB MS64+ value if holder would be about 40- 50 bucks and so you have to subtract cost to holder and risk on who graded the piece. That’s the point. If you can add up enough less cost to grade your still risking the grade being true with no cleaning. Up to you. It’s your money your choice to believe values or not. Look up PCGS value on your grade guess then subtract cost to grade. That’s the fair price to pay.

    The nickel could be a black beauty if they have them in 55 I have a bunch in 59 nearly a whole roll worth.

    Na, it had more toning(purple/brown and black)than a black beauty! I picked a black beauty from coin roll hunting. Alot different in live view.(mine was also 1959)

    No deal. I see maybe $30-$35 worth. I'd offer to buy the Jefferson if it's dark like the photo.

    If you can examine those blue proof sets, 1968 thru 1972 there's a possibility of some excellent varieties-nice doubled dies and missing Mint marks. To see the doubled dies go here-http://varietyvista.com/index.htm

    I would pass at that price... dealer is clearing stuff out....might be a coin or two that would interest me, but not as a group buy. Cheers, RickO

    I have found a few pawn shop bargains over the years. In
    my experience though typically they are overpriced. That seems to be the case.

    No deal.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
