    I’ll play 1st one F12 2nd one VG8

    Coin B is an 8

    Coin A is a 10 with about a 35% -45% shot at 12

    I think that coin A is a VG10 and that coin B is a VG08.

  • Mr_SpudMr_Spud Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭✭✭

    12 for both was my first impression

    @Steve27

    Coin A is absolutely beautiful. My first guess was a 12 for that and a 10 for Coin B.

    Here's coin B (yes it's a VG10 CAC); anyone want to change their guess for coin A?

    My grade opinions (F12 and VG8) remain unchanged. Grading is an opinion and it looks like most of those on this forum who participated are more conservative graders. I like to see that! I wish stickers would go away completely.

    ** My grade opinions (F12 and VG8) remain unchanged.**
    Same here. The B coin is just a little too slick, and the rims not quite strong enough, to warrant VG10 in my mind. Of course we’re splitting hairs here, and my opinion means little.

    I guessed VG8 and G6. I have much to learn regarding this series.

    Here's coin A (Note both coins were imaged under the same conditions using the same camera. Coin A has not been submitted to CAC)

    Love the Stevenson quote...

    Coin A and B are simply not equal... not to be any more difficult than usual.

    Nice ones!

  • Walkerguy21DWalkerguy21D Posts: 11,550 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Given everything, B should be a lock for a gold bean then …. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
    I’d buy B in a heartbeat for VG10 money as is. I wouldn’t buy A even with the sticker.

    Actually I wouldn’t be in the market for either, as the 21S is pretty common below Vf. But I understand there’s a market for them in plastic with stickers for those that need this.

    Walking Liberty Halves in those grades belong in nice album sets, not slabs. (My OPINION)

  • lkeneficlkenefic Posts: 8,169 ✭✭✭✭✭

    BOTH are 10's? wow... I never would have guessed that. I said VG10 on coin A (in the OP) but wouldn't have been shocked to see it in a F12 holder... the second coin? IDK... what is that on the Eagles' breast? I don't think anyone else mentioned it but it's obviously market acceptable, and then some! Thanks for sharing...

    Some of us are happy to own a FR2 in slab. I'd sure love a 66, but a lot of us can't afford that.
