I just completed my first type set, and thought I’d share some pics for a guess the grade(s). Happy Saturday all!

All right. I'll bat leadoff.

Beautiful set.... and gold is always nice..... No guesses here... have to leave now, maybe later if I get back early. Cheers, RickO

Thanks for the kind words @ricko and @Hemispherical

And thanks for the guesses so far! I got some of the details in those photos but not the luster (I’m certainly not a coin photographer), so here are a few more:

Keep em coming!

I'm not playing but here is a tip...virtually all gold coins as these that are loaded with luster start off at low MS
levels and rarely go below AU-58.

The new pics make me want to change my guesses.
As gas been said here 100 times, it's tough to grade from images.

Tough to take images that are worth trying to grade by, too.

You’re more than welcome to bat twice in the same lineup!

Ok, so I'll take the offered Mulligan.

Finally back....long day at the range.... I will agree with the low 60's offered above....Cheers, RickO

So I have learned the importance of luster in grading gold/perceived grades for gold

Kudos to @mannie gray in the first post for getting the relative grades (almost) correct, though not a single guess by anybody hit the mark. Here they are:

61
60
63
64
