A different kind of GTG - Which is F12 and which is F15? *Updated

Two draped bust halves, two very similar grades. Can you guess which grade PCGS put on which? I've had these for about 15/16 years and finally took some images of them. I thought this would be a fun way of showing them.
**I thought this one would be tricky since we are talking such a small difference. The 1806 is the F12 and the 1807 is the F15. Both are in the same era holder, too.

Need to see them in-hand but to me the 1807 is the F-15 and the 1806 is F-12 with a weaker strike.
Flip a coin, as you could probably get 100 pairs as examples that show the inconsistency of grading such tight grades.

12
15
The 1806 obverse and 1807 reverse are F15
The 1806 reverse and 1807 obverse are F12
Lol, some interesting guesses there!

Because of the GTG I assume backwards from what I would think, so I would say F15 for #1 and F12 for #2.

Adding to my post above...to be honest, I don't think either qualifies as F-15.
1807 halves come more weakly struck on average than 1806s. I'll say the 1807 is F15.
15 & 12 yet you're asking, so probably the other way around.

Late to the game... but as close as those two are, IMO, it really does not matter.... Likely, if submitted five times, the results would flip once or twice... Remember, grading is not yet science.... Cheers, RickO
