Snaggletooth Posted July 13, 2010 #3 Posted July 13, 2010 The "D" would indicate Denver as the location of minting and the "P" would be Philly. If the coins are high gloss with no dullnes to them they could be "Mint" conditon. If they look like new, clean, shiny and abolutley no wear, scratches or marks on them they could be "Uncirculated" meaning they were never issued for use. Not worth a bunch even in "Mint". Kind of a low cost way to collect coins. I had a uncle that spent most his career in the military overseas. He had a huge collection of coins from Asia, Thialand, China, Japan and about everywhere else. Most of it appearing to date back several centuries. When he passed it was left to me. After having them apprasied it was found that most of them were counterfeit. Actually very good, several hundred year old counterfeits. Value......nada.....zip.....zilch. Uncle was a sucker. But it made for a sweet looking collection. LOL! Turned out the miltary script he had saved was worth more than the entire collection. Most guys threw that stuff out when they left the service. Now it's worth bucks again. Save them for the grand kids.
