My Grades: lowest to highest 62, 63, 64, 64. PCGS grades: 92 cleaned (UNC Details), 55, 62, 63 and not necessarily in the order disaplayed below!!

Your challenge is to match the PCGS grades with the images below. Good Luck!

Cheers!

    Yep... that's my opinion too.
    When in doubt, don't.

    The 80cc looks like it's a nice coin and maybe a 64, but I do see evidence of dipping
    and an improper rinse.

    64 (perhaps an over dipped satiney coin - decent strike and few marks, lack of luster holds grade to low end 64)

    Tom, Spot on! What made you decide the 1899 was "cleaned"? I picked it up in 2004 from a retired school teacher who inherited from his father in the 60's. The coin was stored in a Whitman tri-fold folder that was not favorable to the obverse. This particular coin has not been messed with in 40 years! I'm like "wow" it's cleaned already?

    Thanks, Kirk

    Since I let the proverbial cat out of the bag early, I must recognize kudos to jdimmick and coincat for guessing all 4 coin grades correctly. I remain curious over the 1899 cleaned PCGS designation though. As mentioned previously, the 1899 was purchased in 2004 from a retired School teacher whose father had acquired the coin in the 1960s. The specimen was stored in a traditional tri-fold Whitman Folder. So how is it that this particular coin grades "92 cleaned" @ PCGS?

  • 99 looks AU, but it's tough to see the cleaning from the photo...my guess is it was really over-dipped and is "lifeless."

    The 88-s looks cleaned to me as I see quite a few hairlines.

    By the way...nice coins.
