Paid $15.00 each and all ten are Accented Hair with only one having a milk spot good or bad deal in your opinion.

Boothill40 · November 19, 2008 1:13PM

it's prolly just me but the wishbone usually stands out and i'm not seeing it...can you do a close-up

frosty's make a you suck...no frosty's no you suck

are the dimes the pointed 9's?

the best way to tell is actually on the reverse... hard to explain w/o a pic, but those rays coming out from the eagle either go through the stars or there's a split. look it up, that's the easy way to tell.

here's one currently on ebay after a lil search...notice all the action right above his ear and the profound wishbone....this is what i'd be looking for...but it's gotta be frosty

<< it's prolly just me but the wishbone usually stands out and i'm not seeing it...can you do a close-up >>

I'm 99% sure I see the hair on all but the bottom right. I think it's hard to see because of the lighting... at some angles, the light will greatly accent the wishbone; at others, it may obliterate it. Since these look like scans, I believe the problem is the latter.

here's russ's article with all the info needed...but without profound lines coming off his ear (the base of the wishbone)...it's most likely not
great link here for the op

Nice finds and Yes Teddy's auction he pointed out is an AH half, but I think I see milk spots.

Could someone explain "accented hair " and how to tell the difference.

Thanks

Bob

Checked the "I" the "Wishbone" the "broken rays at the stars" and the "no serif on the initilas" all ten are AH as to grades I didn't have time to realy look last night as I was just taking a break form studying for an exam and right now I'm burning your tax dollars at work so I better get back out.

BobSav · November 20, 2008 2:29AM

then i'm mistaken there boothill...sorry if any offence was taken

boucharda · November 20, 2008 9:24PM

I learned something today.....I'll have to check the 5 "unopened" sets I opened 3 years ago.

Stew · November 20, 2008 9:33PM

I remember sets coming in the mail when my friends grandpa got them from the mint and none of them were sealed shut, am I missing something on these "sealed never opened proof sets" I always thought it was just some kind of marketing thing. Still at the price and condition you got them it is a great deal in my opinion. regardless of "sealed never opened proof sets" great find

Mint sets came unsealed, proof sets were sealed

Stew · November 20, 2008 9:40PM

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I was wondering about that for some time now

Boothill40 · November 21, 2008 2:16AM

None taken, I haven't had time to take pics (scanner does a lousy job) but no frost on any of them one might go PR69 but I'm working double shifts until Monday and won't get to look at them again til then.
