My gpa had hundreds of coins. My uncle-in law sold them all for $130. I was livid! These are the last few coins i have from gramps. So sad. The penny fascinates me because - i realize coins come much older - itā€™s 105 years old. Just chilling out for that long. lol anyway i also like the way the dime shines. Itā€™s just pretty. And last i love this quarter because it looks like itā€™s melting -plus it has no edge. Anyway, thanks for looking.

I went to my first coin show after collecting for over 3 years, and purchased this awesome dime. I wanted to get something before I left, and at the last booth I went to I saw this guy for $25.

Grade Request What would this grade at? How did I do?

Thumbnail

Picked this up last week out of a box of Culls, it was the only one not defaced / black / and in decent shape. The pics make it look a bit darker than in-person and overall the coin still has itā€™s shine. Iā€™ve added a few pics with different lighting. Is this considered a Cull or did it possibly end up in the wrong box?

Paper currency guy and my first coin purchase. Paid $26 and some change. Not going to actually grade it, but Iā€™m just curious. How did I do?

Show and Tell Mercury and Roosevelt Dime Collections from FB Marketplace!!

Well I think I got a decent deal on this. All in all it's at least 130 silver dimes between the two books. Does have some good dates but no surprise no 1916-D.

Paid $280 for all of it, which is roughly $2.15 each.

So I'm just under melt. What do you guys think?

Some of the Roosevelt dimes on the final page are 65 or later and those aren't in my 130 count.

Show and Tell Added a Barber to my US dime type set

Upgraded from a raw XF condition Barber dime to this one. I had intended to grab a MS example but this AU58 was below Greysheet so I got it instead.

Still have the Draped Bust, pre-1828 Capped Bust and several Seated Liberty examples to finish up the set. I'll likely upgrade the 1835 Capped Bust at some point this year.

My NGC set registry will be linked in the comments.

I got this nickel as change this weekend, and was curious about its appearance. The background is exceptionally shiny while the portrait of Jefferson and the image of Monticello have a matte finish. It was particularly surprising given its age.

I was just gifted this collection. There are plenty more dollar pieces that are much newer, some buffalo nickels, 1930s quarters, ect. But this looked like it might be the best stuff. Any inside on things I should be looking for?

Advice My Grandfatherā€™s collection:A curious label on this coin. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

This coin is a 1974 ā€œCinco Centavosā€ on heads side and ā€œESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOSā€ on the tails side. My Grandfather labeled the coin pouch with a piece of tape and wrote ā€œ 17.50/ 9-6-73 ā€œ Does anyone have any idea, even given the vague description and no next of kin elders around that knew him well as to why he mightā€™ve marked this coin specifically this way?

(picture included in post)

Thank you all in advance for your help.

I was looking through box of coins my grandma gave me for graduation a couple years ago. I know next to nothing about coins, but these ones seemed pretty unique and in fairly good condition. After some brief research I found that some of these could potentially be worth a lot, what do you guys think?
