Seated Half & Quarter -- ideas on grades?

Went to a little coinshop in Lancaster today -- PNS Coins and Collectibles. Great shop. See Rich if you go. I heard DesertRat hangs out there! They just got a nice collection of seated quarters and halves in yesterday so I was able to pick these 2 up for my Dansco Type Set.

Any thoughts as to grades. The quarter looks a litte washed out in the pic but is a silver/gray color in hand. Neither appear to have ever been cleaned.

    The half dollar I would go for a strong XF-45. The quarter, I'd go with a VF-30 on it. Both of them look nice.

    Congratulations!

    <<<EF-45 & VF-30>>>

    That was my thought as well...

    Looks like we are all on the same page with these. I did think the half might make AU-50 on a very good day.

  • Before I even scrolled down and saw everyone else's opinions, I thought XF45 and VF30.

  • EF-40 and VF-35, IMO.

    Cool circs.

    I was hoping the 1875 quarter was going to be a CC. image

    Wow. Me too. Pretty interesting how consistent the responses are, plus or minus one grade at most.
  • Can you get a closeup of the date for the '75?

    lathmach caught the MPD in the denticles as well. I think it might be a new discovery. I have to report it to CONECA and see what they say. Great eye though.

    I am of the view the half gets a 45 and the quarter is a 35... nice circulated examples.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    You guys are tough. EF 45 on that half ? It looks at least AU 53 to me.

    The quarter looks a touch better than a VF 35. Looks EF 40 to these old eyes.

    I'd buy halves all day long that looked like that as EF 45.
