[Goes4ever]

I got these today in a trade, can you give me an estimate on the value please? I was hoping they were at least $10 a piece.

I had a small stamp collection when I was a kid, and I found it the other day at my parents house, most were cancelled stamps. I looked on ebay and saw no real value so I posted it up for trade on a couple forums and a guy offered me these 4 coins for it.

I was happy with that.

 

[UnEarthed72]

nothing wrong with that

 

[Mackaydon]

If that is mint luster, maybe MS 60's or better: $15 and up.
You did well.

Worth between $10-$15 each

 

[Goes4ever]

good deal, thank you very much to all

 

[Cannonman17]

Want to sell them?

 

[Goes4ever]

Want to sell them?

no, but thanks for the offer!

 

[bradyboy]

Sorry
But they sure like the have been polished / buffed
In my opinion.
If so, it wont help the value

 

[Goes4ever]

if they have been buffed or polished, I don't know, but there is no scratch marks at all

 

[Cannonman17]

Nope, they don't look polished or buffed at all to me either, bright original surfaces... and VERY nice.. wonder if they have a full bell line...be careful how you handle those and store them.

 

[Goes4ever]

not sure what you mean about full bell line?

 

[Cannonman17]

I'm trying to google a pic for you... as I'm not good at explaining it but not very many franklins were struck well enough to show strong details.. particularly when it comes to the lines in the bell on the reverse.. and then even when they were some were damaged by being in a bag with a bunch of other ones.. so finding mint state franklins with full bell lines is RARE and they command a big premium. Unfortunately I'm not finding any pics big enough to show you what I'm talking about.. perhaps somebody else here will have a link...

 

[Goes4ever]

well I can almost read the words on the bell, does that mean anything

 

[Cannonman17]

nope.. if you know anybody who collects coins ask if you can borrow their redbook, I'm guessing there's a good description in there. Or heck, just pick one up as they make handy little reference books for u.s. coins.

According to my Redbook those are in MS-65. They look like they have original mint luster. Barely any noticable scratches or blemishes. They meet all the criteria for Mint State 65 condition. A couple of them look like they could command more than book value. My books prices are a little old but by todays market I would guess around 20 bucks each, maybe more. Take care of them, slab them in plastic or mylar holders to protect your investment. Very nice. Thanks for showing.

[Goes4ever]

wow, I like that answer!!! thank you

 

[djui5]

Yeah, those look like great coins to me also. I don't see any signs of cleaning, though it's hard to tell from pictures. The luster doesn't mean they've been cleaned. Those coins look very bright and shiny like that from the mint.

Gorgeous coins! Sounds like you got yourself a nice deal...make sure and keep them from getting dinged up....definitely want them in a protective cover! Congrats!
