Your opinion of grade is appreciated and also, should I be sending these in for grading?
1884-s and 1895-O.

Both look XF45

I'm thinking AU55 and AU50 respectively.

I would give them a shot economy service. If the 95-O is not fake or altered, it is a money coin.

I think the 1884 O is AU 53 to AU 55. It might be cleaned but needs to be encapsulated to determine if it's worth $165 to $1,500 or exactly where in between.
The 1895 O Might be AU 50 which is between $850 and up to $4,000 if it's higher.
The only way you'll ever get full value is encapsulated. Send them in as a regular 2 coin submission tomorrow. You have no options here. Want proof, take them to any coin shop and watch what they offer.
Good advice indeed.

84-S is cleaned and likely will not get a straight grade.
95-O is beat up considerably on the rims, if it straight grades it will get hammered for the hammering it has received.
Both look AU and I am pretty sure neither one will get a straight grade. The surfaces do not look right on either one.
but....they might be market acceptable. 1895 will go 35-40, the 84s is XF 45, but has corrosion and a gnarly rim ding. Therefore, it will get a XF details grade.
Wow.....the midnight crowd is tough (lol).

40 to 45 for both....rim ding is minor but could get details....Let us know what results you get. Cheers, RickO
I would say that both are in the EF-45 range. The 1884-S might be an AU-50 if the luster is stronger when you see it in person.
The 1895-O was very poorly made coin. Even the Mint State pieces are ugly. I had one PCGS AU when I has dealer that had white surfaces and muted luster. I got something like $6,000 for it. At the same show another dealer had a PCGS MS-60 that was dark and unattractive. He wanted something like $8,000 for it.
Both 53's and worth sending in.
Take a chance on the 95-O only IMO, if anything.
Our hosts have been very conservative lately and you'll probably end up no better than XF40.
Let us know what you do decide to do and the results, if any.
Xf 40-45 both
Neither coin is AU.
I thought most were generous.
I was at NET VF30 or so on both coins.

Neither will straight grade.
35-40 details. Congrats!
