I was talking to another board member about a 1944 mint set I bought.......

for $150.00. I told him that most were toned. I usually keep them together and don't grade them but some were so very nice I couldn't resist.
I imaged them the best that I can do but I should have them professionally done. They all have very nice luster which I do not think I captured.
I thought that I would share them with you. Thanks for letting me indulge.

Looks like you made out like a bandit!

Nice pick-up and beautiful coins!!!

Nice coins and good pics. I've been putting the same set together since it's my birth year (yeah, I'm old, but it's better than the alternative). I only need one more each of a nickel, dime and quarter to finish. I should get that done while the summer prices are here.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone. The toning is very difficult to
image but they are pretty close to actual.

Very nice! I especially like the first nickel and the last cent. Which are your favorites out of the bunch?

I love the 44-S nickel like you mentioned. The greens, reds and pinks are awsome.
And the 44-D walker, there are so many colors in it I never get tired of looking at it.

If that 44s Walker is in a PCGS holder you made a killing.
Actually if $150 is correct then

They are all in PCGS holders and yep $150

I'd agree with the above for what I liked as well

You Suck!!!!

I am not going to say how much my set cost but that hurt.

BTW my set is here. LinkImages are included.

BTW you might want to check the price guide on several other coins in the set. Just a quick guess is that four of them are selling for more than you paid for the set.

Thanks, I guess that's what they call dumb luck. I could have replaced the lower end graded coins for better but I think having the entire mint set intact with the original holders would be nicer.

By the way you have a beautiful set. Now I am intimidated to start a registry set.

(yeah, I'm old, but it's better than the alternative).

Same reason I put a set together.

Old, that is the under statement, I heard that you voted for Hoover
