    Fun little group of coins! But, no CC? Ah, that's okay. Thought at first you were going
    to show us MDing finds but then you said you paid for them. Oh, well.

    Can't say that I could grade those via a video. I think they have to be in hand or at
    least a stationary pic like posted here.

    What year was that IHC you did dig up?

    Here I thought the video would make it easier to grade image Oh well!

    This is my first coin video that isn't stuff I've dug up. I'd have a heart attack if I dug up a Morgan! Or a Barber half for that matter...

    Unfortunately he didn't have any CC Morgans. I'll get one one day! I promise!

    That Indian Head is 1892!

    Alright here are pictures too for those of you who'd rather grade from these (which I'm sure is the majority)

    Sorry I suck at coin photography!

    Yes I was careful with this one. It's pure Acetone along with Denatonium Benzoate which is just a small amount of chemical to make it taste bitter. I looked into it before using it and it's supposedly harmless to coins but I went ahead and made sure to rinse them all very well with Distilled Water in an abundance of caution image

    embarrassment time

    63
    64
    55
    55 or 58 ?
    color and out of focus makes the reverse hard to tell. 64?


    don't want to guess on Barber, I don't see enough of them on here.



    please PM me to tell me how close I was

    I don't know much about morgans. I hope they are worth the price of admission.
    that last one may grade higher than 64. I dunno. 65?

    I wish we had more guesses, but it's not as much fun without the quick feedback from slab pictures.

    Oh but the suspense! image

    It's my first PCGS submission so I'm looking forward to it. I honestly thought all these were at least MS64 but Walkers are much more my thing image

    Appreciate the reply Randy! That's pretty much what I'm seeing + or - a grade.

    Thought the Half was a 25 or 30 though. image Can't wait to ship these out and get 'em back!

    To get a VF20 or above, LIBERTY has to be sharp. From what I am seeing some of the letters may just barely be legible.

    As long as all of the letters are visible.....the coin should grade F12....maybe F15



  • BanemorthBanemorth Posts: 986 ✭✭✭
    Thanks Randy I was looking at the grading images here. I guess they're way off base image

    I'm very happy that you liked it. That's the whole reason that I made it! image

    I just wish I had more people in my neck of the woods to sit down and talk coins with.

    Thanks Teddy! You were more generous in my other thread.

    This:

    65/66 is not out the question

    Turned into 63 on this thread! image

    I am rather excited.
