In two boxes I sorted tonight. I can't tell if they're small date or large. Any ideas on value?, or why they were all together?

survivor of an old-timer, or a coin dealer dumping stock that doesn't sell. They look nice... try and find a whole roll and just save it. Not worth much, but better than circulated, for sure.

can you post a close-up picture of the date? if any of them are small dates they go for around $40 each and it's worth checking them.

I wish I could, I have two different nikons and still can't take a decent coin pic.

Just curious what state you're from? I'm from MO and just found 5 of them, all in really nice shape, in $10 CWR (none small date though)

Check them all carefully for small date. They could be worth quite a bit if they are the small date and in good condition. I keep all 1970S separate for that very reason. I can't tell but I know a guy that can so I am saving them up for him to go through them one day for me.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
