  Both of these are graded ms66fs! I own the second coin but the first was up for grabs on TT last night. Personally I didn't think it was that great of a strike, so although you can't see the steps I wonder if it really did have FS? JMO!

  I do not like the first coin. Not only is the strike weak but the dies are highly eroded. This is
  very typical of the non-mint set coins; most are weakly struck from worn dies. The second ap-
  pears to be from a set.

  Cladiator I agree with you. The first one just doesn't look that great for a strike. I am so happy with my coin, especially in person. Of course I paid a little ore for min than somone did for that other one on TT but it was worth it for the strike and extra detail that can be seen.
  
  PS These are also TT's pictures!

  Too bad they don't sell for pocket change prices. The first one sold for $475 and the second for $625

  Hey 1980 was a great year. One of the best people I know arrived on this earth that year.

  I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.
