a few great finds

Franklin type 1 and AH kennedy's Last week I was looking through ebay auctions and Bib and won on some very nice type coins, The 1st was a lot of 5 sealed 1964 proof sets. Usually I dont buy the so called sealed sets because in the past, I have found that the silver coins are mostly tarnished. But this fellow clamed his were all original. They arrived today and, YES, I opened all 5 proof sets, FOUND, 4 of the 5 had NICE AH kennedy's and one deep cameo quarter. The next purchase was for a

I need some clarity on grading

FBL, FS, FB, FT etc 1st, Full bell lines, say I have a nice 1960-D franklin with real nice bell lines, good clear, sharp etc. BUT, there is a very minor nick that goes through two lines at the bottom of the bell. does this "cancel" the FBL status? This same question goes for the nickel, nice steps, all 6 are sharp and all the way across, but that nick goes through, say one step, or even two steps, will this coin lose the FS rating. Dimes, torch on dimes. Thanks

US mint shipment 20 mints review

the good and bad Recieved my order of 20 us mint sets. hers what I found. There are both possition A and B on the presidential dollars. Most of the nickles have rim flaws. The Sacajaweas are nice but have the face scuff marks, only 6 were of the MS-67 areas. all P cents have distorted memorial building steps with a few having sharp 4-5 bottom steps. D mints were extra sharp and will grade high. State quarters are fantastic, sharp, miner scuffs and all will grade high. the halves are so-so agai
