GTG 1835 Half Cent & 1910 Liberty Nickel

Here's a double whammy for you. I picked them both up today at the Annandale show. What do you think their grades are? And for extra credit, how much do you think I paid for them?

1835 Half Cent


1910 Liberty Nickel

The large cent looks EF-40
The nickel looks MS-63 I think

 

45 and 55

 

50 and 55.

I say you paid $150 for the 1/2 cent.

 

Half cent: XF45
Nickel: AU58

Nice coins! I especially like the half cent.

 

Since I was privileged to information while the purchase was being made..... I can't make a guess as I know...the grades as well as the cost. I will say they were purchased way below retail , and I believe that the 1910 is an rpd.
There is only one variety known for the 1910 according to the complete guide to Shield &Liberty head nickels,by Peters & Mohon. The 1,9,&1 all show first punch to the N and slightly to the left; second &final punch to south & slightly to the right. PM # 47.1 RPD 001

 

Interesting guesses so far!

Any guesses here guys?

 

Not 'til I get home from work. My phone does these pics no justice.

Quite the strike on the Nickel.

 

@ldhair @green18 @ToughCOINS @jwitten I wouldn't mind your opinions either, if you have the time/interest, gentlemen.

 

Strangely enough, I can't see most of those hairlines without the photo. I'll reveal tonight; thanks for your input. I'm always happy to hear what you think a non-dealer would pay for them.

 

EF-45
AU-58

On the nickel, I'd have to see in-hand before I'd award a details designation. I do not think it is cleaned.

 

High XF on the half cent. Low Au on the 5 center, but I love the color. Is that 'true' in hand?

 

You still working?

 

I need to get it in sunlight to look at it but the color does have a nice gentle golden brown color to it. The image isn't too far off from what it looks like.

 

@cpm9ball I thought you might enjoy a crack at this before I reveal.

 

I really like the half cent.

 

Why me? I don't collect either series, and I haven't lived in Northern Virginia for more than 40 years.
