silver found in my change from lunch!

[YankeeDownSouthAdv.]

all,

well checked my coins from lunch like i do usually now...once i got home checked online about the 1960 rosie i got in the change. i saw on ebay a guy was selling one for 225.00 , personally looking at mine it looked better than his, but the pics don't do either of our coins justice im sure! mine has no visable mint mark, really not too sure where to look figured it would be where the js is on mine . any thoughts ?? i prefer to find my silver in the ground but this will do..lol...HH, rainy finally here for once( we need the rain), so will be trooping through the forums again tonight..lol...thanks for looking.gregg

Gregg:
The "JS" stands for John R. Sinnock, the coin't designor. The mint mark, if any, on this type of dime (between 1946 and 1964) would be at the base and to the left of the torch on the reverse. I don't see any initial there, so it would be a Philly mint; valued at about $1.50 in EF-40 condition--retail.

Can't beat getting silver for face value I wonder what the deal with the one on ebay is, 1960 isn't a key date is it?

1960 is a key date IF it is a double-die obverse.
In that event, the Red Book reflects a value of $300 in PF-65 condition.

The one on ebay for $225 is also NGC graded at MS67.

What war was fought in 1961? That's a new one on me.

funny thing is my coin seems to be in better condition i think than the one on ebay, but some coins take crappy photos, or crappy camera so who knows, like i said don't know anything about coin grading.. i think i got the nickels confused i was thinking of 1940's..been a long day today at work..lol...ohh well, least i got the silver dime today...gregg
