Picked up a couple coins on Saturday...were they worth what I spent on them?

[MetalFury]

Picked these up Saturday at a little coin shop. I collect coins not so much for what they're worth, mainly just if I like it, I get it. Anyway, you can see from the pics that there is a 1961 set and a 1970 Misstruck quarter...I paid $10 for them...

You paid $10 for everything? PGS is an "unknown" certification company. I have seen their stuff around but they are not creditable. If you pay $10 for all it was a good deal. I seriously doubt all of them are PR70 though. Nice off-center quarter.

Yep, if they were all PR70's the dealer would have been asking over $100 for them all I'd imagine.

Nice coins though. You should take them out and send them to a reputable coin grading company, like NGC or PCGS.

Googled and found two "PGS" grading services. All comments were.....lets just say they were not very complimentary.

I agree they would need to be re graded. Still $10, they look nice to me. I blow $10 for lunch, and you got some silver and a cool error coin.

yea the quarter might have been worth $10 but PGS is not creditable like said above i mean does anyone even know what that stands for. Stay away from the PGS,MIP,NGS, I have bought a 1960 jefferson nickel supposed to be graded a full strike MS69 by PGS sent ot off to NGC and they said sent it back to me as an Good 8.
