I picked up these two coins from my trip to the Devens MA coin show. Busy show, about 50 tables and a constant buzz around them. I continue to expand beyond my Morgan collection and look for you feedback on how I am doing. You can always look them up, but what are your thoughts on grades? Thanks in advance!

XF40

MS64

    40 - porosity?
    55?

    Both are terrific.

    I’d guess XF 40 on the flowing hair and MS 63 on the CBH.

    Im a sucker for a double profile and anything dated 17xx is always fun. Solid purchases in my eyes

    Nice 25-105! <3 Is she a 63 ... or 64?? Love the look!!

    Probably EF40 on the Cent.

    Very nice coins!!

    Agree, both are terrific.
    AU details on the cent for very light porosity, (perhaps lightly smoothed?), but still a nice looking ‘94, and AU58 on the bust half.

    Wow! That is not what I was expecting.

    The 1794 has terrific meat on it, but it would scare the heck out of me as possibly coming back with environmental damage (porosity) if purchased raw. I'm in the EF details camp, but again it would scare me. The CBH looks like it has lots and lots of life on those surfaces and I would guess MS63 if the coin is somewhat subdued in-hand or MS64 if it really pops like the images suggest in-hand.

    Adore the Large cent! Perfect original look and a nice planchet!
    So very curious what you paid for the coin?

    1825 Half Dollar MS64.
