if you thought PCGS is tough check these out

These came back to me late last year. I'll post the grades later:

Weiss

SEGS? Beautiful coins.

I'd go 64 and 65, respectively.

The history behind the Morgans is cool, but man, they just look haggard compared to a strongly struck, mark-free Peace.

They are both recent PCGS holders

Amazing cheek on the 1925.

Both have very nice obverses and are potentially limited gradewise by their reverses. I'd say 63 and 64?

Nice

66 and 65

I like the 22 and it looks to be a D and I think it could go 66. The 25 could go 65 or even higher. Lustre that cannot be seen well in the photos will be the key as to whether a 66 and 65 is right.

The luster on both is eye popping:



The problem is both coins are held back by the reverse. The 22-D could probably
go 64 but its not worth it. The 25 has an amazing obverse married to a 64 reverse.
I was hoping they'd split me the difference but as you can see...

The 22-D appears to be the better coin. If the 25 is a 64 then the 22-D looks more like a 65 in my opinion. It is a little sharper. Send it back to Newport Beach. If it doesn't receive a 65 it most certainly should get a 64.

Woah!! Very beautiful Peaces.

They look different because I shot the first ones with
a tripod and the second ones on my desk.

The first pictures are closer to what they look like in
hand. The second ones show the luster which is mirror-like.

There are a few hairlines on the cheek of the 22-D which
don't show up in the photo. They only show if you turn the
coin in hand but I'm sure that influenced the grade.

I'm still not comfortable grading these. I need to look at
lots more examples.
