  The graded example was a weak strike, so I am going to say XF40 possibly XF45.
  The second example is struck better but has more wear, so I will say VF35.

  Both coins are in the Vf35/Xf40 area. I’ve seen them slabbed somewhat inconsistently, but again we’re splitting hairs.
  Top coin also looks a little ‘cleanly’.

  I like the 2nd coin a bit better.

  I was very close to this, the wear at the top of the date made me wonder if I'd expect 15 or go with a 20.
  Close enough. I agree.

  I'm sorry, I cannot grade you. Perhaps your mother can.

  Regarding the coins, I'm in the 35ish camp.

  For their grades, I would buy the raw coin but not the ICG coin, which has a too-smooth "look" I don't like at all.

  When in doubt, don't.

  No way i would accept the slabbed coin as anything close to XF40.

  All glory is fleeting.
