Hi, Recently bought these coins in a lot at an auction. Could anybody mind telling me what they would think that they will grade at? Thanks in advance!
Nice old toning! The George VI piece looks Choice AU to me. The rim looks a bit wavy. Check it for bends. There is also a faint fingerprint on the obverse. I don't think it is a coin you'd want to submit for third-party grading, but all that being said, it does have nice eye appeal and the colorful toning quite compensates for the (minor) flaws. The Edwardian piece I'd have a hard time going much over VF on. But I find these difficult to grade- the Newfie reverse lacks much in the way of relief, and Edward VII in general can be tough with his wispy hair. The old album toning on this piece makes up for its modest technical grade. It is a very attractive little coin.
