Hey What does everyone think of these? Have they been cleaned? What would they grade? Can you tell the variety? If you could also mention what made you decide the grade that would be great also, so I would know what to look for. Thanks
That last coin is a beauty, I would almost go XF on her. If the coins haven't been cleaned sometime over the years it would suprise me, but they don't look like the have been treated to badly.
1832-F15, it has nice details, and FULL LIBERTY, you can somewhat see the clasp that is holding her top on , the bust is worn too smooth, for this coin to grade any higher, although it has very nice details, but I do think this one has been cleaned in some way, due to the pictures. 1829-VG10 (Agreeing with Johnny54321) This bust has some okay details. The liberty is more faint, and the Y has some wear to it. The bust, once again, is smooth, and the curl in the hair, above the clasp of the dress ware is very smooth, with some details to the rest of the hair. This coin has a good color, and is original (I like original busties, better than dipped ones, most ones in the lower grade, get marked as "cleaned" "geniune" they come back, body bagged, or they get a details grade, due to the dipping. Although with a AU to High Mint State coin, you can get away with this dipping, and still get the grade. I personally like the color of the natural ones) 1834-VF20 (My favorite one you have!) This one is my favorite you have posted pics of! The color is very good, and has way more details in the hair, than the 1829! Liberty is pretty sharp, in detail The hair, near the "brow" line, is very good in detail, and makes up for what you are lacking near the curl, above the clasp The eagle on the reverse has good details on the feathers, and the shield is pretty sharp. This is a VF20 coin, in my opinion, but it could be as high as VF25 or VF30, I'd wait on other opinions, to decipher the grade of your coin... Very nice coins, by the way, and I'm glad you shared them with us!
The first coin is just overdipped and cleaned. The second two are very nice coins - love the color on them. The second coin I would technically grade VG10 and go maybe to F, the second coin I would say is VF30. The last two are nice coins - the first I would net out at VG.
thanks guys, would any of these coins slab? I have never had any coins slabbed, but I am thinking about sending a few off. I know this isn't the place to ask this, but if I don't get a response I will start a new thread, if a coin is body bagged to you still get charged the grading fee? What do you think the value of these coins are especially the 1834?
The last two would get graded...Although I'm not sure if it is worth your money to send them in... If they were very, very high grade examples, maybe, but not with anything in the VF range, unless it is a key date, with low mintage I say, keep em' raw, and enjoy them
Grade the 1834 only if it had a 50c on rim I would send the1829 & 1832 to Anacs and as for details.never know there maybe a rare Overton variety there??
Could be... If you are willing to grade them, than the only real reason to, would be to what jello is saying, the overton varieties... You could have a rare one, I don't know, I know nothing of overtons, so I am of no help.
