Military .30 M2 AP Ammo
I have a box of 20 30 cal bullets I believe are WW2 vintage. Box is tan with a cream color label with orange and blue stripes. Label reads 20 cartridges Armor Piercing caliber .30 M2 Ammunition lot T.W. 18019 Disposal must be made as prescribed by A.R. Twin Cities Ordnance Plant. Whew! Shells are marked TW 42. 7 of the rounds have firing pin dimples in the primer but obviously didn't fire. Any idea what these might be worth to somebody? Thanks!

Hello, I have been buying Sealed boxes in the $15 t0 $20 range on the internet. Being open and primers hit?
Old Ammo, have lots always looking for more.0 -
They are not worth much as oldammo said. Yours were loaded in 42.
The dimples on the primers, if light, are from being chambered in a rifle.
Since the firing pins in Garands, for example, are not spring loaded, when a round is chambered the firing pin will lightly tap the primer leaving a faint mark. If the marks are deep,as on a fired case, they are likely missfires.
As oldammo said, unless they are in a sealed box in good condition they dont have much "collector" value.
