Ben, What are the odds that the 1947 set has been cherry picked before you purchased them? Comment from : @paulwier7005 |
 |
Wouldn't the value come from them being a set and in packaging? Breaking them up?brThanks for the great video ☺️ Comment from : @cliffordrandell735 |
 |
I’d love to own that set ! Comment from : @Hotshotz-94 |
 |
I'm sorry but way back all we had was UNC, choice UNC, and gem UNC Toning was usually discounted😅 Comment from : @DaleMeredith-h1e |
 |
Not sure about those!! Pretty good looking!!😮❤ Comment from : @Gregory514 |
 |
I almost forgot to mention I have a 1955 mint set that I’m going to send out for grading Like you, I know that it is going to be an expensive endeavor but to have an entire year mint set will be one of my favorite sets Comment from : @kconnor4568 |
|
|
First) I would have sent them to NGCbrSECOND) Why didn’t they give you ffs on all nickels and full bands on all of the dimes, I can’t be 100 sure but both of those sure looked like it to me Comment from : @kconnor4568 |
 |
Why not sent the set intact w/original paper, holders from the US Mint directly to PCGS? Or alternately send the silver pieces only since they will command the most $$?😮 Comment from : @mingwong8091 |
 |
I think I would have been great if you conserved half the set and left the rest original and compared the grades Maybe in another video ? 😊 Comment from : @aishayana4298 |
 |
Oh really? A 68 on the quarters is necessary? Dang that’s a tough grade Comment from : @_CYB0RG_ |
|
|
Ouch on the cheek of that first nickel Comment from : @_CYB0RG_ |
|
|
That’s a really nice looking mint set Wow! I’m really excited to see how they grade Comment from : @_CYB0RG_ |
 |
1947 mint set nickle with a gouge in the cheek ? Didn't look mint, looked circulated ! Comment from : @larryrivers2752 |
 |
That was fun Thanks! Comment from : @andyreznick |
 |
PS For the commentator asking about the stamps - very common Prexies (Presidential Series stamps from 1938) The envelope with the stamps may be worth on ebay $2 - 5 just because the sales of 47 sets was low compared to that of the mid 50's onward and they come from the US Treasury But postal covers are a whole area of philately that one could devote a fair amount of time on a stamp channel Ben rightly ignores the envelope and stamps because it is unrelated to his channel Comment from : @chrissahar2014 |
 |
It would be interesting to know if you dipped them if they would get a higher or lower grade? Comment from : @buildingAbiz |
 |
I would say your correct Ben, if you like graded coins buy them graded, do not get them graded yourself! I've heard others say that also, but having these examples really drives that point home Great video as always Ben Comment from : @dongreenlee675 |
 |
💮 enjoy your show ♻️ thanks for the invite 💮 Comment from : @JohnnyCollins-cv4gx |
 |
I pulled the 49s out of a double set as I thought it would be at least 65FBL, came back 64 no FBL so was a waste of time and money, should have just sold it as a set as it was Also, the cents get really nasty bron the back side Comment from : @Chucka10 |
 |
Why on Earth did you not dip the silver? Comment from : @terrylake22 |
 |
I'm suprised they graded that high All the spots and black edges were overlooked To me that's not toning Comment from : @claytonsimplot9554 |
 |
“Getting all choked up over TruView” lol Comment from : @Jinxster-lo1uy |
 |
Correct to generous grading Comment from : @brianh4185 |
 |
very cool i recommend doing more Comment from : @PremiumTrackerSilverStacker |
 |
The black spots on these coins make them very undesirable it’s original toning means there’s color in it not black or not black spotsSo the grades are correctBUT value is low compared to those coins same grade without the black spots Black spotted coins don’t have really any value compared to the coin that’s not spotted with the same grade Comment from : @micheleploeser7720 |

Not a very exciting set at all Comment from : @BobRosenfeld |
 |
California toning, on such a winter day Hah!brDear Lord I'm old Comment from : @ScottGibson-bz4id |
 |
I have the 1957 and 58 mint sets the most pristine coins you've ever seen The 58 was the last year of the wheat ears All Mine have a mirrow Comment from : @peterhawryluk8430 |
 |
I want to get one for my mother Her birth year ❤ Comment from : @James-xu3vc |
 |
How do you tell us the incorrect grade when he is holding the coin? Comment from : @scottmitchell1884 |
 |
That was a great video! I also subbed Comment from : @SouthernMetal |
 |
I sent PCGS a 1922 no d penny in mint condition and they after 49 business days said it was counterfeit and lost not only my coin but the package it was sent in and the coin holder I’m currently suing this shit hole company Comment from : @TomLynch-k3g |
 |
Generous grades all round really Some not very attractive at all coins in those sets OK lets call a spade a spade some were downright ugly coins Comment from : @1mmickk |
 |
Nice Ben! Love those mint sets I have a couple Comment from : @silversurfer1986 |
 |
it shows that the graders in the room don't understand poor strike from wear The hint should have been that there were 26 other coins that looked just like them When you have graders who have never seen a 47 mint set being opened grading coins you get stupid grades Back in the 90's we bought a deal of them, 5 sets, 4 were sealed, all different family members, the nickels looked the same way, worn out dies Comment from : @robertfrye5161 |
 |
Now that I watched the whole video I have to say I think you did very well All things considered to get a pair of 67s on those quarters even though you're not super thrilled is really a tall taskbrI've sent lots of quarters in from original rolls and cherry picked cream, De La cream and get a 67 is a very high standard brThe 66 full band dime is nice I've got a bunch of those out of 1940s Roosevelt 50 bucks on average brWhen it comes to the copper pennies and nickels, it's not so much about the grade as it is the eye appeal I've had nickels and 65 steps with great toning for $100 which might not sound like a lot but when the PriceGuide is $10 it's pretty good brbrOutstanding video !

Super Comment from : @notafilisteanumismaticiplzen |
 |
The Brittish made the penny! The US made the Native American cent the wheat ear cent etc etc Comment from : @Bcollector_rick |
 |
How much would a 1945 set normally run for??? Comment from : @rlosangeleskings |
 |
PCGS is an authority because PCGS says it is Same with NGC Pay them enough, they'll give you what you want Comment from : @nohurry1570 |
 |
Also full Bands on the Dimes Comment from : @shannonculbertson8259 |
|
|
If the Nickels have Full Steps can fetch a hefty Premium Comment from : @shannonculbertson8259 |
 |
There is no way a mint set would have marks like on that Jefferson Nickel This is a composed set Someone pulled off the best coins and replaced them That 63RB cent also has a nice thumbprint tarnish My big question thoughI would have assumed those mildew spots would have harmed the grading more than it did Is that not considered part of the grade? Comment from : @hyfy-tr2jy |
 |
Great content and explanation Thanks! Comment from : @SHOCKWAVEDAVE |
 |
Thank- you again for spending your $$$, to us considering to have any uncirculated coin sets : Graded br PSbr Buy them already Graded, don’t spend to have it done Comment from : @roberthein2156 |
|
|
Could you have had any(25,50 coins 🪙) professionally cleaned?brWould that maybe 🤔 got at 67 or 68 rating ? Comment from : @roberthein2156 |
 |
To buy a set like that u need to really trust that no one replaced any of those coins Comment from : @robsleep3045 |
 |
Do they tell you it would be full bands if you wanted to pay more to get the designation? Thanks Comment from : @NewHorizon39 |
 |
Once again, I have learned so muchThank you!! Comment from : @lawriefoster5587 |
 |
Fantastic breakdown! Comment from : @shawn951951 |
 |
I definitely would have dipped the silver coins Comment from : @phillipbyrnes2885 |

I'm one of the people who wants to keep it original Comment from : @KenDrewery |
 |
Great presentation and information! I really enjoy the entact sets myself, but also its easy to understand the desire to preserve them Either way these original coins are just a sight to behold Comment from : @noobismatic |
 |
I'm no "purist" by far, but I'm one of the folks that would rather keep the coins in the placard, inside the original envelope Comment from : @PatriotNorthman |
 |
The cheap cardboard and paper made those coins look pretty crappy Comment from : @stevieadamoschek9293 |
 |
No full steps designation on those nickles? Comment from : @SilverLiterati |
 |
Very low mintage on the 1947-48 double mint sets, like 5000 or so Interesting experiment you did I have about 7 or 8 later sets that I have debated sending some of the coins in for years Somehow just can't bring myself to break the sets up, but some beautiful toners in them Comment from : @josepha9313 |
 |
19:38 No one commented about the reference to the Tool song AEnema? Ben the ProgRockGeek youtube channel coming soon 😉 Comment from : @rayrockwood7543 |
 |
grades too low, you will lose money by grading those, dont forget the 22 fee does not include postage and insurance cost both ways coins typically cost 30 to 34 to certify, too high for most all coins Comment from : @davidbell9130 |
 |
Yeah, but what about those stamps on the original envelope? Comment from : @667hodge |
 |
Try cleaning the coins first, before you send them in, with e-Z-est and MS70, probably get an higher grade! Comment from : @rickraybourn7456 |
 |
I’m five minutes in and wanted to say this is awesome! Excellent content as always Ben! Comment from : @timothylakata7091 |
 |
Could it have made any difference if you had sent them in the original paper? Like, maybe the nickels would have been MS60s? Comment from : @petepal55 |
 |
If sending to grading includes busting outta of my air tites, no bueno no can do El Paso I thinks only a couple of cleaned ones skipped by Comment from : @borisperez3129 |
|
|
Putting on gloves 🧤 4 our viewing pleasure Nice 👍 Comment from : @borisperez3129 |
 |
It looks like some of the Jefferson nickels were close to being 5 step Is that something which needs to be requested when being sent in for certification? Comment from : @alberthanson1971 |
 |
I’m really learning a lot from watching your presentations, and I really enjoy your show Comment from : @johnmcdonald9735 |
|
|
I’m glad I discovered your channel , I appreciate all you do , thanks and I enjoy your presentations Comment from : @johnmcdonald9735 |
|
|
Not to be rude, or offensive, but, when we speak we spit little specs, and if the coins are below you in front of you on table you possibly are spiting on coins and our saliva is acidic, and not immediately but over time those little specs will show up on your coins and are not removable You know, recently , COVID-19 the pandemic , and plastic shields at cash registers is also an example of what I’m saying When we speak we all do it, we spit little specs Comment from : @johnmcdonald9735 |
 |
I really enjoyed this show Very fun demo Looks like another reminder to keep your mitts off your copper coins! Wow, those fingerprints are on those pennies forever Thanks for all the detailed information Comment from : @iamgabriel5823 |
 |
Interesting albeit expensive experiment, nice to see some of those coins do as well as they did really Thanks Comment from : @nicolasrossi5978 |
 |
So you didn’t request full bands variety? I thought you had to check the variety box in order to get the designation? Comment from : @remyferrari8501 |
 |
somebody switched out those 'S' nickels how can an uncirculated coin become circulated in an original set? you got burned ben! Comment from : @ltcol2005 |
 |
I really enjoyed this Comment from : @tommoore707 |
|
|
unless these sets are sealed or if you totally trust who you buy them from, I would not touch them good coins are broken out and replaced Comment from : @ltcol2005 |
 |
Thank You for sharing that Very Important information brI'm a newbie to this exciting hobby and I totally appreciate learning from a Real Human Not AI Keep them coming please 😊 Comment from : @LynnSharp-s5r |

How do you know a coin is a proof? Thinking SMS and back Comment from : @bosstone100 |
 |
Nice video Ben very nice coins I purchased the 58 mint set and love it thanks Comment from : @kitnye5729 |
 |
I really like ANACS for grading a full set You can get one holder for each mint board, with the individual grades as well as the net grade for the collection Kinda cool I think NGC does it, too Comment from : @TheSteveBoyd |
|
|
I really think that with economy service comes economy grades 🤷♂ Comment from : @TheSteveBoyd |
|
|
I breally/b want to find one of these! 🤤brI've had a few '54s through '58s (and yes, cherrypicked a few), but that '47 is elusive and bexpensive/b ! Comment from : @TheSteveBoyd |

Looking like the s nickels were switched out Comment from : @stevenwaldman1908 |
