A couple of eBay newp's...opinions please!- Grades in!

I picked these up relatively cheap on eBay and they arrived yesterday...the rim bump at 1:00 on the reverse of the Small Motto 2c concerns me...will it BB for that? The color is better than the photos show as well. The 1919 I bought as a full red, but I don't believe it is (looks like a light fingerprint on the rev). I got it pretty cheap, and the strike is great. I'm considering sending these to PCGS, since I finally rejoined the collector's club and got my packet in the mail...what say ye?

I don't think it would BB for that bump.

That is a nice 1919!!

Save your money on the 2 center.

The '19 Cent is nice, but what is going on around the "N" and "States" on the Rev? Is that a heavy wipe/cleaning mark?

Looks to be a smudged fingerprint...that was my first thought also.

I see a gouge in the field at 11:00 on the reverse of the 2 cent piece. Dont see any rim bumps at 1:00 though. You could do better than to send that one in.

Nice pickup's.

I really like the 1919

Both are nice.

I like both!

Hmmm, you want honesty? The two center won't grade or grade high enough and the multiple fingerprints on the 19 as well as what looks like a hit on the cheek doesn't justify submitting them. Of course what do I know.

Looks like the 1919 may not be original. dr

I decided to submit them (I had a reholder that needed to go anyway)...I had $75 in the Lincoln and $130 in the 2c, so I lost on one and made it up on the other...I'm happy, though!

That cent looks pretty red to me. Nice coins, though.

1919 looks wiped on rev, might get BB'd for that. The SM looks fine, not sure if PCGS would bb it for the cut on the reverse rim considering it's already rather worn...I'd send it in.
