1859 Newps: Silver and Gold **Grades Revealed in First Post**

Bought these from Heritage online auction. I think the gold is nice for the grade, and I like the 3CS tone. Anyone care to shoot at the grades?

    63 and 64?
  • Those are some tough images to grade.

    My guesses would be:
    MS65 on the 3 cent silver
    AU58 on the $2 1/2 gold

    For those who care, the gold is type 1 old reverse.

    The 3CS is MS63. I think it is accurate, and nice eye appeal for the grade.

    The Qtr Eagle is graded AU55. I find this very low. I wouldn't have thought twice if it had an MS63 or MS64 lable on it. I guess some of the gold crew know better because they guessed 55/58.

    I compare it to this one, also an AU55.
