Grade Posted - A Couple of NEWPS and a GTG

Attended the monthly Melbourne show today, with minimal expectations.
Didn’t find anything I “needed”, but a couple of things I liked and decided to acquire.
First up is a raw 20 cent piece. I liked the bold LIBERTY and other detail, and the nice original color. This is not the GTG coin, but of course you can opine:
Here is the GTG coin. I knew I was in trouble when the dealer declared “I’m not going to be pricing this at Bid” when he was taking it out of the case…..
Here’s another view where I shot the image upside down, so the lighting could better highlight the little marks on the lower left quadrant. And the slab image.
Yes, the old holder suckered me in, along with the blazing luster.

65.
64FH, I got the initial impression of 65FH but the dealers comment leads me to believe the coin is either conservatively graded, or not designated as a FH. It looks like a hammered strike though.

Nice shield, nice rivets looks FH from the photos. I will say 64+FH CAC.

Looks EF45 on the 20c and MS65 on the Standing Liberty.

66FH on the SLQ

MS66 but no FH on the holder, but looks like it is!
Hammered strike for sure

Nice 20c! I need to pick up a raw, circulated example at the next show.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
65+ FH
66FH
Guessing 64 on the holder but it looks much nicer than that!
Looks like an older style of holders so I'm going with 64FH, looks great!

Nice quarter full head to most and a high end 64.
66FH
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
nice coins- I like the 20 cent coin for a Dansco 7070 or Whitman Blue bookshelf- seems 50 is my floor with a claim to 53
The SLQ is nice- tough to grade- tougher to price
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Gorgeous 20center. Wonder what stopped the FH designation? Worth a retry? Both are worthy speciman's.
