Coin Grading Question
sly
Posts: 96
I'm pretty new to coin grading and was hoping someone could help me out with 2 of my coins. I was just hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of the grading I might expect to receive from pcgs on these 2 coins. Any help would be great as I am new to coins.

WOW! Nice IHC. Looks a lock 65 RD from here, maybe 1 point better on a good day at the TPG's.
The Wheatie looks beat all to mess.......maybe XF/low AU? not my forte either.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Hmmm... Has a whizzed look. I might be wrong, but that is the way the picture makes it look. Nice pics btw.
Bodybag

Lincoln 1C -- Altered Surface (Bodybag)
Indian Head 1C - Altered Surface (Bodybag)
The images are suspect...better images would be helpful, but based on the images they both look like coins that wouldn't initially get slabbed.

No, I think the IHC is a bodybag.

Based on the picture and the coin looking pumpkin orange...this is a knee-jerk sign of altered surface (e.g. dipping, cleaning, whizzing, or some other surface alteration, etc.). Also, the luster flow around the devices.
If the lighting you used is bad, and the coin is not pumpkin orange, then try to re-post a new picture...maybe that will help us help you.

Color is funky and the surfaces look buffed.

'06 yes...'01 no (but again, it could just be the image)
