    << <i>I grade them F12 and VG8. >>



    That would be my guess as well.

    Edit to add actually it's not a guess that's what I'd give 'em. image

    I think I would go 15 and 10 also. I wonder what Dennis has up his sleeve.

    The first coin is very close to F15, a coin toss if they gave it a F12 or F15 grade, but worthy of Fine+ money.

    The second coin clearly has more wear and I hope the graders saw it that way also. VG10

    My gut reaction is F15 ... and VG10

    of course, I am probably wrong

    To be contrary, I believe the first one comes very close to VF, and I have VFs with
    similar detail. But those are earlier dates. Perhaps the graders are more lenient
    with earlier dates.

    I will guess VF20 and VG10.

    VF-xx and F-xx. The second one is definitely a grade down from the 1st.

    Being a collector of circ. graded Walkers, I see this kind of thing every time I take my coins out and lay them side by side.
    Still doesn't make any sense though:

    Oops! Are you going to send that second one in for a grade review image
    It does make you wonder though - that is pretty fundamental circ coin grading that was obviously blown.

    I looked at them before I scrooled down to see the grades - and I had them at F12 and VG8.

    Just a case to show grading is subjective.
