I stumbled upon these two coins recently. Will they straight grade with our host? If they do what grade? The pictures accurately portray the color of the coins. Thanks.

    I don't think either one will grade.

    Two great coins to add to an album. The color may come back over time.

    Agree with everyone else.
    Decent album coins at the right price point, but likely would get Genuine if submitted.

    A couple of great looking Indian cents. Copper is not a good alloy for me to ever judge, especially from pics. But I will say I agree with the others they will get genuined if submitted. I do like em :)

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Nice IHC's and they will make great album coins... I would keep them either in an album or self slab for protection. Cheers, RickO

    Both have had the high points burnished (a type of cleaning). Neither should grade.

    We call these types of coins "loved to death." A past owner loved them so much they wanted to make them brighter.

    Yep, I've seen them work some miracles. Their batting average is not as good as they advertise, but once in a great while they get it right, and you can’t tell the difference. I’ve seen it most often with copper or bronze.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    No they will not grade, like said on top they are nice coins for a book a lot of meat on them.



    Hoard the keys.

    Ditto. Scary isn't it. All it takes is a little time and a little reading as one technique has been in plain sight for over fifty years.
