got a pair of tilted and normal coins, are they rare and what should I expect if I sell the pair? the coins are circulated, in VF grade.

Not sure about rarity - the best I could find were the third and fourth letters at http://web.archive.org/web/20091015090305/http://members.optusnet.com.au/~ihartshorn/feature/fa1.htm
From memory I've found both in change but I don't have any statistics on which one is rarer.

I have about 80 of them (approximately even number of each type) I have noodled in last few months -EF to aUNC. Used to get good money for them on eBay but last few listings haven't attracted a bid.
Maybe best to sit on them a while and keep an eye on sales.
Tilted 7 is less common but not scarce.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.
