    What do you think, I have no idea or expectations. Left is 1935-S right is 1936-D. There is some mint luster left in both.

    The 1935 is VG, the 1936 is G

    Oh! I wanted to start giving reasons for my grades.

    The 1935 is VG because of the full obverse and reverse rim, and the bit of horn showing on the bison.

    The 1936 has more rim weakness, and not really any horn to speak of.

    What about value then? I know it's nominal, but I'm just wondering :)

    I paid a buck each, so I guess I got a decent price :)
