New Purchases at Baltimore - Charlotte $5's

CharlotteDude

I have/had dupes of both dates, but I couldn't let these two crusty, unmolested pieces leave town today...

Anyone wanna guess grades?

cheers,

Not my series...but I'll give it a shot:

XF-40

VF-35

RYK

Great coins.

It's hard to read the luster on your photos. I'll go 53 and 50. That eagle on the 59-C is really weak--just like it's suppose to be. Just on the basis of the reverse, you could almost guess it is either the 59-C or the 60-C.

I know nothing about them...or any other gold for that matter,
But I realy like them.

My bad, mistook that for wear.
XF-45.

STONE

55 and 53

Nice looking ladies

The luster is subdued by their coloration & skin over the surfaces. The "scratch" going from 9 o'clock across to Lib's cheek ('59-C) is on the holder. I've always struggled at getting pics right on. I have the right camera, but not good lighting. A light box is on the Christmas list, so maybe Santa will hook me up this year. Every 1859-C reverse is completely mushy, and looks like it would otherwise grade VF, but that's how they all look (even in MS grades)... same goes for the '60-C (same reverse die was used), like RYK notes above.

50 on both.

nice looking coins. i am quite jealous.

but crusty is not the word i would use to describe them.
i call those nice looking AUs. i need to see some dirt before i
will say crusty.

but boy, sweet coins!

AU-55 and AU-50 nice pick-ups!!

ABSilvercoins

Nice coins. Let us know the grade(s).

oreville

50 and 50.

The 1855 is a shot 53.

very pleasing collector coins indeed!

Why spend money on coins when you have those two beautiful girls instead?

CharlotteDude

They're both in XF-45 holders. The '55-C is a no-brainer AU coin, in an OGH. The 59-C would have a 50/50 shot at AU. Not that I have any intentions to crack 'em out... I'll provide pics of my other '55-C in a PCGS AU-53 holder to compare w/the XF-45 coin. I actually like the XF-45 coin better than the AU-53.


PCGS XF-45


PCGS AU-53

the OG holders threw us all off! no fair.

and grade inflation does not exist ;-)

I was going to say 55 and 50. At 45 they are really nice and could easily get a coveted sticker.

CharlotteDude

At 45 they are really nice and could easily get a coveted sticker.

That would be a sad day indeed...

"Coveted Sticker" ~ Is this how we now refer to the entity of which we do not speak??

Mickley

Beautiful coins, both of them.
