I've submitted about 10 coins to Anacs.
Here's five (5) of them. Guess the grades exactly and someone will win a nice prize.
Some of these you may have seen before.
I'm making it especially challenging by providing such clear and accurate pictures
Only one guess per poster!
I'll know the grades in about 2 weeks.
The coins are:
1839 25c
1925 25c
1930 25c
1805 50c
1884 50c

1925 25 cent (AU55 FH)
1930 25 cent (AU58 FH - might go MS63 FH, can't really tell from the image)
1805 50 cent (VF 35)
1884 50 cent (can't really tell about the luster, but with luster, MS63+, subdued luster AU58)
Just my gut feeling looking at some sub par (by your own admission) images. I always enjoy these challenges - thanks!

If any seated half experts can chime in and help me understand the Proof 55 grade, I'd appreciate it, as nobody guessed Proof.

Alas, no Grand prize to be awarded as everyone was off (perhaps Anacs is the one who is 'off')
