Another batch - check out the 1795

Check out the reverse on the 1795 - what a beauty. If I graded on the reverse I would give it a Vf20, but I net the coin F12. The two 1825's (yes probably both cleaned) are late additions. The 1885 - believe it or not I liked it's look and all most all of the reverse is legible. Sweet batch of coins for me. Of course all opinions are welcome!!!

First lets see if I can get the pictures in the correct order:

Oh Man, you had me there for a second when I saw that V-Nickel. I thought it was the 1795, ROTFLing...

In Order:
F-12
VF-30
VF-20
F-15

Take Care

p.s. the 95 looks like a weakly struck VF coin to me, but I can understand how others would grade/value it lower.

The 1795 is super!
The 1885 is pleasing for what it is AG-3+ (VG-8? F-12? Come on, theire is not a single letter of LIBERTY and the rims are fading out It's a borderline Good at best.)

Well I think the 1885 is a solid G4. All the other grades I agree with. The 1795 I think is weakly struck on the obverse, but I listed it at f-15. That reverse on 1795 is amazing in person.
