Nyami Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Hi, new here. But I joined in order to have some coins graded and was happy to notice this forum. Everyday I go through my coins and find I am just humming and hawing over what I should do with the real dope ones. If anyone would like to help me decide if I should grade or sell on eBay that would be great. I will mention what I was thinking of doing with them so that if I am missing info about a coin, maybe one of you would be willing to help me learn more about it. I’ve really hit a wall so any help would be great. I was considering having this 1970 s, floating roof no FG graded then sent to auction. And this 1972 D washington quarter I was thinking of selling on eBay, but for 1000$? Crazy or no... lemme know if u have any thoughts, thanks m Edited April 16, 2021 by Nyami Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The quarter looks nice but it would have to grade 68 to be worth it, chances are it's not. The cent is not worth sending in. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieR131 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The reverse of the 1961 looks really good. The obverse I can't tell because the pic focus is too blurry. It almost looks coated. The inside of the ear and beard are missing, and more. Just my immediate observation. Others will soon chime in that know a LOT more than I. Good luck, I wish you well.

Just Bob Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The '61 looks like a proof. Did you find it in circulation? Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 These are very nice coins, but to set your expectations correctly you mention selling the quarter for $1k. That is very unrealistic unless I am missing something very special about it. Generally the guidance is that if a coin won’t have a fair market value of $150 or more it isn’t sensible to spend the money grade it. I don’t think that what you have posted would make the mark, but possible. They would either have to grade extremely high or have a desirable error/variety. out of curiosity the 61 proof cent looks like it’s in some kind of slab with a label. What does it say?

JKK Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think the 61 is plated. That used to happen rather often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) None of the pictured coins are worth more than face value. Where the fantasy of selling one of them for $1,000 came from is beyond my limited mental capacity....

Conder101 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The 1961 is a proof. The unusal thickness of the date digits makes me wonder whether it might be a DDO, but I can't see it being worth slabbing. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The only coin you have posted that is remotely worth doing anything with is the 1961 PF Lincoln. I am not aware of; nor could I find; any listings of any varieties for that date, however as Conder mentioned it does look like a possible double die coin. I would suggest that you post it on the CONECA forum Link and get more feedback on that possibility. I have no idea why you think that your 1972-D quarter is worth 1K, the price guide for an MS68 is $650, and from your photos I do not see your coin grading that high. The 1970-S Lincoln is the more common large date and is not a full floating roof, and while I don't follow that minor of a thing I do not recall seeing the floating roof on the NGC approved list of varieties that they attribute. Also from your photos I would not see that as grading high enough to be worth grading or one of the two varieties that NGC does attribute, maybe in hand or with better photos my opinion would be different.

Popular Post l.cutler Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 Nice enough to put in holders and keep, but not a lot of value there. The proof cent might be worth a couple dollars, that is the best coin. Modwriter, Hoghead515, Nyami and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) On the 1961 Does the INB slab call it a proof or uncirculated? And you were looking for values under the proof DCAM column. That coins is not a DCAM, it isn't even a CAM. Try looking under the RD catagory, and it WON'T make a 69.

In view of the OP's written confession as to the grade assigned the coin by the international numismatic bureau (presumably an arm of INTERPOL or NCIC) i.e., Uncirculated, what facts did you rely on to support your conclusion that neither coin was worth more than face value? The copper content of the Wheatie alone is worth several times face. And any suggestion this coin lies directly next to an Extremely Fine specimen on the non-Sheldon continuum, is pushing things a bit. Even in degraded condition, the '22 no "D" commands a price ten thousand times over face, $100.00 = 10,000 cents. Where does D.W. stand on this?

Woods020 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The 73 D Rosie doesn’t appear to be full bands. Any interruption disqualifies it from FB. Look at the price of a non FB in maybe mid MS (64-65 ish). Not worth much. Coinbuf and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) International numismatic bureau does not have a good reputation in the coin industry, if you do some searching you can see complaints about this firm over grading coins. That is not to say that you cannot find nice coins in this holder but its more akin to finding a needle in a haystack. If you have bought a significant number of coins in these holders and attempt to cross them to more reputable TPG's like NGC or PCGS my guess is that you will be very disappointed with the results. Edited to add: I also do not think that 1973-D Rosie has much of any chance of being graded as a FB by NGC.

RWB Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) The name at top left is sufficient identification of the source of this silliness: "Fido." None of the coins the OP has shown are worth more than face value. Encouraging this kind of fantasy is cruel and discourages acquisition of realistic knowledge about grading US coins.

Henri Charriere Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 [I guess I just don't get it. We disemboweled a collector for having the unmitigated gall for presenting a '22 no "D" for review rejecting it as inauthentic (all because the services of an inexperienced cointerfeiter without references was employed) and here we roll out the red carpet and accept a '22 no "D" with no comment as to its authenticity or grade with a FINAL WORD on the subject rendered by a source we are forbidden to question, or contradict by law. Looks like my only consolation is eliciting a good laugh from Modwriter who appreciated the joke.] Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
