    Nice surfaces on these. Good pickups.

    I will likely submit to hosts but not sure how long that will be to come back and piggyback on usual foreign order with them.
    It's early but does anyone want to venture a guess (off the pictures admittedly) as to what the grade will be.
    Is it a soft strike on the head and hair of the Std Lib or is it wear?

    Gorgeous 72-S, by the looks of the date placement, and mintmark a WB-2. The Barber is no slouch either. Congrats on both.

    They had a 1913 half that was similarly raw but had been bid up to about 3k so not mine:

    Have to wonder why they were still Raw..............
    Good luck on the ones you got, they both look nice

    The half should grade 61 or 62, even with the light rub, but it could 58 once or twice before you get the grade. The quarter should 63. Nice coins!

    These came from an old English holding from UK and so there were a few US coins in there.
