    I don't think my grade guesses would be very good when I can only see pictures for one of the seven coins listed. image

    FWIW, here are my guesses with the benefit of having the coins in hand. My pictures on the 35's are over exaggerating the issues :



    1933 1/2P: MS65RD



    1935 6P: MS64



    1945 6P: MS65



    1947 6P: MS65



    1933 Shilling: MS64



    1934 2/6d: MS65



    1942 2/6d: MS66



    1749 Fart MS64RB+

    That '42 Half Crown is a super coin!



    Looks like we mostly agree (same ballpark). My thoughts on the 1933 1/2 penny would be market graded to MS64 because of the staining and spots. Also given that it's the "key" of the series, MS65 is a pretty ballsy grade if PCGS is so inclined to give it that.



    Best of luck with these. All really nice coins.

    Chris Denton said it was the nicest 1933 he had ever seen, which says a lot. I think the staining could put some off but it is worse in my pics than in hand. We will see, in about a month... I will post an update regardless.

    PCGS has graded one other MS65RD and 2 in 65RB; unfortunately, no pictures for any of them. NGC has graded an additional 2 in 65RB, with none in 65RD. If Chris Denton is not the person you bought it from, I'm more inclined to give his opinion full credit. image Good luck, nonetheless. image

    terrific coins

    the 1933 1/2 should go 65 but I see RB

    1935 6d-MS64
    1945 6d-MS65
    1947 6d-MS64
    1933 shilling- I think the image may capture a look leading on to undergrade this one- 64
    1934 2/6- MS65 plus
    1942 2/6- MS67- amazing

    1749 Farthing- great strike- color may not be enough for RB. I would call it 65 brown but 64 brown seems more probable

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
