GTG #3 - Double Coin

Goob

My third GTG thread! A 1878cc Seated dime & a 1907 IHC. (please note the dime is cleaned)
Since I’m posting this earlier than usual, I’ll post the grades after 48 hours (or 35 guesses, whichever comes first!)
Quick reminder that ANACS puts numbers on details coins, so you can guess an actual grade for the dime!


^^ Coin #1

^^ Coin #2

Goob

Any guesses?

I’ll guess (edited to) VF details on the dime.
And that the first coin is an Indian cent.😉 It appears very/too dark for purposes of meaningful grade guesses.

fair enough, let’s see if these pics are any better!

they don't do the coin justice but now you can actually see the coin!

That’s quite a bit better. I’ll guess XF40.

The initial set of pictures might have discouraged participation to some extent.

I grade them as crackouts and stick them in an album

He only seems to like slabbed coins.

Photogrades of the coins I submitted to ANACS. Nothing too crazy in the submission but I hope you guys like them!
I have a few PCGS things coming back soon so I might post them to this thread when they come back (NGC to PCGS crossover, 5-coin US submission, 1-coin World coin submission)

In total, 4 coins exceeded my expectations, 6 coins met my expectations, and two (1932 25c, 1955-D 25c) graded lower than I expected.
The reasoning behind so many Washington quarters in the submission were due to my ANACS silver Washington quarter set.

why did you do this?

the fun is guessing.

not only have you ruined this thread, you've ruined future threads

oldglorycoins

I guess i have a good memory

oldglorycoins

I instantly recognized the coins

i like my coins protected, albums are fun but they scare me a little
(prestige albums are a bit too expensive for me)

Goob

Anyone else wanna guess?

Coinscratch

XF Details on the dime.
AU58 on the Indian.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I would rather buy coins than plastic. But if you like the plastic, knock yourself out. To each their own.

These are good perspectives. While album costs are rising, I trust that @Goob will find a balance between paying for the costs of slabbing and recognizing coins that truly need the extra protection.

35 on the dime
55 on the cent.
Edit to drop the grade on the dime.

Goob

rather unhappy with the second set of IHC pictures I posted, here’s a third that I think will work best!
(please note that the lines on the reverse are on the slab)

That does look better, MS64 BN on the Indian.

The cent looks way better in round three of the image posting, as much more design detail is apparent. It can be difficult to provide meaningful grade guesses, even when good images are provided and pointless to guess, when images are poor. Strive for good ones from the outset.
