18S - ANACS MS62 RB - old small holder. 27 - Truegrade MS63 RB - pretty sure there is only one style holder,, ha. What'cha think they got at NGC ?
I am going with they crossed over at the same grades. I don't see the luster on the 27 to make a 64, but maybe that is my eyes or the pictures. I I think a 62 on the other because of all the little tick marks I see in the pictures and the strike. would not be surprised if both were a grade higher.
18S - went from 62RB to 62BRN - slight down grade in color. Probably a coin I would have said would be the least likely to grade the same as you just don't see many 62's out there. But 62 it is ! 27 - went from 63RB to 64BRN - upgraded details, downgraded color... a nice coin collected very cheaply in it's TG holder. Another colorful and attractive BRN coin for the collection. CONGRATS - BADTHAD ! > nailed it !
The metal is not metal.. it's a piece of cardboard fuzz from the NGC return box that must have been on the slab when I took the picture. You can see it's shadow on the cent directly to the north of the fuzz..
