    Hey everyone!

    Just got my grades from a recent PCGS submission of US coins I thought worthy of grading. Thought it would be fun to both share the images and do a GTG.

    I'll admit, I only "correctly" guessed what PCGS would say on ONE out of 13 coins (7/13 times I was too harsh - in fact, sometimes WAY too harsh) so don't worry too much about getting this "right."

    If you want an extra challenge, see if you can guess the coin I had right!

    Try not to cheat! :)

    Enjoy!

    (I'll post grades tomorrow morning before I head out to the LCS in search of NEWPS.)

    Coin 1: 1873 (Open 3) Indian Head Cent

    1831 Bust - Unc Details - scratch (not much experience with these)
    1856 Seated - AU58
    1861 Seated - MS62

    I really like the 1831 dime. Nice clash marks on the obverse.

    The reverse cud was a pretty fun find as well :)

    Grades so far (thanks for playing coins with us!)

    @ksmooter61 - 0/7 (and it was not the IHC I got correct)
    @Mr. Numismatist 3/7

    Don't feel bad about not getting them all - as I mentioned, I only technically got one correct as well. :)

    1873 IHC: MS64RB
    1903 Liberty Nickel: MS64
    1831 CBD: MS61
    1856 Seated Dime: MS62
    1861 Seated Dime: AU55
    1892 Barber Quarter: MS62
    1937 Washington Quarter: MS65

    I think you got the Barber correct.

    Other than the quarter series, I have never collected these coins and have no experience at all with seated coinage. The Barber has the look of a 63/64 but a closeup inspection of the obverse keeps it at MS62 IMO.
