Two beautiful F.U.N. 2011 NEWPs (Guess the grade!)

First two NEWPs of F.U.N. 2011 were picked up last night. I missed a nice buffalo (lot 4494) and a nice SQL (4624) along with a Washington that went crazy (4676). Anybody pick those up? I am hoping to get two beauties today too but they are nothing special. Anyhow, take a look and if anyone cares to take a stab at the grades go for it!

1834 $5 Plain 4 PCGS. First Head, Breen-6501, McCloskey 3-C, R.5.

    They look like very nice coins, and I know you have good taste. However, the photos are not such that I could make an educated guess on the grade, other than to say that both appear to be MS coins.

    Both are gorgeous, but I'm extremely fond of the 37 No Stars...what a beautiful type.

    The half eagle is gorgeous! I saw that one online. My guess is AU58.

    they are going to fit in perfectly with my complete type set I am working on.

    I forgot my signature winkimage.
    Yes (tongue in cheek), and a little research. I'm in love image with the '37. What you spent on the '34 could have bought half of my collection. Again, mighty fine looking coins.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. I like your eye.

    64 & 65 sound about right, but the washed out heritage images make grading even more guesswork than usual.

    Thanks Mike. I had bid on several other items but the bidding got out of control on some of them (even for my crazy standards). Shame, too, they would have fit in well. But I am happy with these two, plus a nice double eagle and some other "smaller" purchases.
