Nine coins from one of my junk piles...

Any numbers that you think should visit our host for grading and TV? These have obviously resided in one of my junk piles for years because I have had my doubts. If there is a consensus on a couple, maybe they will get sent in one day? I could possibly even see myself giving a couple away, most likely the ones that don't make the cut...but at least the person would get a decent photo. I took these photos a few years ago and need to photograph several more from other junk piles but that's a bit of a project that I am not eager to take on at this time. What say you? Why am I going through my piles of junk? Well, I am bored and that is about all I own these days. Lol

  1. 1950-S 10c, unfortunately that does seem to be a hairline on the cheek.

  1. 1951 10c. Not bad, I kinda like this one.

  1. 1954-D 10c I recall photographing this one. It was a huge pain to capture the red and yellow. It has a bit more red than is shown but I think it's pretty cool.

  1. 1959 10c, due to the hits in the right obv field and on the torch among others, probably not worth anything but since I went through the trouble of photographing it for some reason, it is included here. The toning isn't too bad.

  1. 1961 PR 10c. This one gave me trouble when I was photographing it but you get the idea at least. The spot on the first 'S' in STATES probably prevents it from grading and the toning isn't the best. Maybe a giveaway candidate.

  1. 1962 PR 10c. Not a bad coin and probably worth keeping. The obv left field gave me problems in the photography using the hot lights but still not a terrible image. That loop under ED on the reverse seems to be a piece of lint that was on the coin when I photographed it as it is not on the coin when I look at it now. Oops, it will be easier to edit that out of the image than it will be to re-shoot it.

  1. 1963 PR 10c. Not bad but probably not worth sending in either. It might be the subject of a giveaway.

  1. 1964 10c. This coin has a few too many issues for submission. It might be the subject of a giveaway.

  1. 1969 S PR 1c. Probably the subject of a giveaway. The color on the Rev isn't too shabby though.

    Not the look I seek, however, they are nice coins. Cheers, RickO

    In relationship to what I have owned previously, in terms of their potential grades, in terms of their real value and in terms of the quality of their toning for the most part...yes, these have been residing in one of my junk piles but I will say that I found these to be entertaining enough to still photograph them. I probably have another dozen+ that I could pull from other junk piles and photograph but it's probably not worth my time. I could probably do mystery bags of junk giveaways but it wouldn't be worth the postage. It would be cool to get rid of the clutter though. I might take a bunch to a coin show one day and donate to the YN giveaways that they do. That is probably the best outlet.

    I think all of those MS Roosies have a shot at 67.
