Coin Grading Question

I'm pretty new to coin grading and was hoping someone could help me out with 2 of my coins. I was just hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of the grading I might expect to receive from pcgs on these 2 coins. Any help would be great as I am new to coins.

    WOW! Nice IHC. Looks a lock 65 RD from here, maybe 1 point better on a good day at the TPG's.

    The Wheatie looks beat all to mess.......maybe XF/low AU? not my forte either.


    and...........WELCOME

    Hmmm... Has a whizzed look. I might be wrong, but that is the way the picture makes it look. Nice pics btw.

    You really think the IHC might only be a 63?? I am new, but I still thought it would be higher than that. Thanks for posting.

    Lincoln 1C -- Altered Surface (Bodybag)
    Indian Head 1C - Altered Surface (Bodybag)

    The images are suspect...better images would be helpful, but based on the images they both look like coins that wouldn't initially get slabbed.

    No, I think the IHC is a bodybag.

    Could someone explain why the IHC is not a good coin? Like I said I'm new to coin collecting and to me it seems like it is a pretty good coin. I obviously am missing something. Thanks

    Based on the picture and the coin looking pumpkin orange...this is a knee-jerk sign of altered surface (e.g. dipping, cleaning, whizzing, or some other surface alteration, etc.). Also, the luster flow around the devices.

    If the lighting you used is bad, and the coin is not pumpkin orange, then try to re-post a new picture...maybe that will help us help you.

    Color is funky and the surfaces look buffed.

    '06 yes...'01 no (but again, it could just be the image)

    So my last question would be to have help grading these final 3 coins which I think are all good ones.
  • Options
    grading of any or all of these three coins would be great. I'm just trying to decide which coins to send into pcgs and any ideas of the grades they might receive would be a great help. Thanks
