    These two coins are graded by NGC. I'm very happy to add them to my collection. Please give it a guess as to the grades! :smile


    1887 - 2 Centimes

    I'm not sure how to interpret that as a numerical grade. ;)

    > Love the Toning on this one!
    Note: I'm not a very good grader... I wouldn't be surprised if it is MS-68

    1888/7-
    MS-66* RB

    OK, I guess no one else wants to guess the grade on these. Windchild you did a very good job! These coins predate the "+" grading system at NGC, and NGC does not assign the star to world coins. :)
