I love DBH's, and these are really nice.

I've never owned one, but hope to one day.

So here goes:

F15
G6
VF25 (such a strong reverse, though. Neat little cud, too)

Edit:
I see that my first impressions were more in line with other posts above. Originally, I was thinking
VF20
VG8
VF30
but thought those were too optimistic. If the PCGS grades turn out to be on the higher end of the guesses in the other posts above, is that because of allowances for weak strikes in this series? Or that the grade goes to the better of the sides, or to the average of them, instead of being limited by the lesser side?

I may be a grade high on coins 1 and 2 but 3 had better garner that 35.

Is it time to disclose the grades????

BillJones · January 30, 2011 12:13AM

VF-20
VG-10
VF-35

the cat is dying.

Ok, these are the PCGS grades:

1803 PCGS VF20 O-104 small 3
1806 PCGS VG10 O-112 6 over inverted 6
1806 PCGS VF25 O-111 6 over inverted 6

Everyone was very close, the last one was the only one that seemed to generate higher guesses, and I tend to agree as I would call it a VF35 as well.

Thanks for the guesses!

I think 25 is too low.

Baley · January 30, 2011 7:26AM

Agreed, that O.111 looks 30 from here. I dont disagree with the other two grades

roadrunner · January 30, 2011 7:29AM

PCGS took the most conservative route. I can see those grades on the 3 coins, esp the last one with the drapery line being below average for the grade.

RedHerring · January 30, 2011 8:25AM

There is a lot of meat on the last one to call it a 25. The other grades look fine.

rhedden · January 31, 2011 2:42AM

I wonder if the third one got net-graded for some tiny problem we can't see in the images.

maibockaddict · January 31, 2011 4:30AM

I think the grades are spot on. I was going to say 20-10-20, but I could see a 25 on the last one.

Its a very nice lot of coins!

I see these are for sale on the BST forum, good luck
