    I thought I would just add the others to this thread to save total thread space.

    So we have an 1833 Zs -This has the typical flat strike. I suspect the strike did not resonate well with the graders. I like the coin and it was submitted with an estimated grade range from 58 to 62

    Edited to add- This one graded AU58

    1893 Cn 8R

    I liked this one even though there were limitations on the upside of the grade. Nice original skin with a hint of color. There is a subdued flash as one rotates and tilts the coin.

    Edited to add- correct image added... you know... technology

    this one graded MS63 which was within my anticipated grade range

    1859 Mo 8R FH

    I liked the overall original look of the surfaces. Unfortunately, our host viewed this one as having a spot removed and assigned an unc details grade. In hindsight, I should have known better. I did not really consider a spot removal based on the overall surfaces.

    Curious what is the circle on the eagles lower body area?

    I believe there are reverse dies used starting in 1873 that can have a dot and/or circle on the eagle. These are not considered varieties according to Mike Dunigan

    Edited to add:

    The circle/dot on the 1875 Go was likely later in the production due to increased demand and earlier dies were used which included the reverse from 1873
