With my wife's family, we always open gifts Christmas Eve. Well, she likes coins, collects them somewhat, and heard I like/collect them. So I open up my tiny package and inside resides this inventory.
1.) Old small Anacs hold MS64 Washington Carver 1954-s. Looks a smudge better then the assigned grade, blast white.
2.) Cleaned 1893 Columbian. Based on price tag I would say she got it for melt. Works for me that she didn't get ripped.
3.) 1835 holed Bust Half. Looks to be cleaned previously, holed to at 9 on obverse, nice look, nice detail.
4.) 1901-o Barber half. Nice circ look to it. Looks about F to me. Neat coin.
5.) My favorite. 1853 w/ arrows quarter. Pretty circ look to it. Looks original. Pretty coin. F grade on 2x2. I don't know how to grade them, but it wouldn't be out of line a smidge better.
All in all a very cool Christmas from my Gma in law. She added 4 coins out of 5 that I have never held and only one is definitely cleaned, harshly.
Happy Holidays all.

edited to add, I'll try to get some pics up in the next day or two. Just for fun.
