#1, F-12
#2, EF-40

 

VF-20 (I would grade it F-15, but this is GTG)
VF-35

 

Vf & Xf.

 

25 and 40.

 

20 and 45.

 

My Barber grading skills basically consist of looking at the headband, but I will go
20 & 40.

 

+1

 

OK Santini - enough of the Cubs BS - LOL!!!

 

I was going to let this go to tomorrow, but everyone pretty much proved my point already. The top coin is graded VF35 from PCGS with a CAC sticker to boot. The bottom coin is in my half set that was graded 35 as well( I sent in raw). Which would you rather have?

 

I'll take the bottom one. PM me and I'll give you my address.

 

Both graded 35? Wow. Different TPGs?

 

Just as a general pointer, for EF the lines between the feathers near the wingtips must be clear and not worn together. Not seeing that on either coin. For EF-45, there must be remnants of luster. Not seeing that either.

So VF-35 seems right for the second one IMO. EF is too high.

As for the first one, it just further supports my opinion that the TPGs are nothing but a big sham.

 

My first reaction was 20 and 35.

When I saw your reveal, I was surprised. That top one is severely overgraded. And CAC'd too? For shame.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - collectors have to learn to grade for themselves, and can't rely on the slab (or the sticker, as I have also said many times).

 

I'm good with 35 on the second one. Don't understand how the first one got a 35.

 

I'm still looking for the MM's...

 

VF20 VF35 What a diff.
