Unc Platinum, Guess the MS Grade - "sight unseen" purchases

jmski52

All of these pics were taken at the same time, with the same lighting and were reduced by the same imaging program. Each coin has been graded by a major TPG grading service. Each coin was bought "sight unseen". (The white dot in the field of the last coin is a dust particle.) Give me your best estimates:

1997:



2000:



2002:



2003:

I grade them bullion, pretty and cool but I could care less about the grade and use plastic only as authentication. MS/PF 66-70 means nothing to me. Real and current spot are the only two factors I need clarity on.

If you held my feet to the fire I grade the group about 1500-1600$

Nice stash though

As far as the grading, Jmski, I don't know.

I do know thought that I appreciate you posting some pics of my favorite series!

Nice rounds. No grade from here for bullion, sorry, but is it too much to ask that these resemble Bartholdi's work? There was meaning behind the nose shape and all. Rant over.

Best wishes,

Would you believe it when I tell you that all of these coins were graded MS-69?

Which kinda throws fuel on the debate over the "sight unseen" market - doesn't it?
