  Don't buy coins from friends. Advise them of a realistic wholesale price and send them to a local dealer who you trust.

  All glory is fleeting.

  And those are retail, dealers might(!) pay 40$ for the pair unless they look closer to fine.

  Is it better to have him sell to a local dealer at 40% of greysheet?

  Careful with the 15, even at VG there are a lot of tampered-with coins out there. Look for any shadows or bumps where the mintmark should be.

  Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

  I advised my friend to hang on to the coins for a while.

  I grade the 1915 Good-VG and the 27-S VG/G. The 27-S is not a difficult coin in that grade. Good that you passed on them.
