    I have 2 1919-D's I was thinking about having graded. Does anyone see any reason either of these would not grade? Any comment on the grade also welcome. As a way to distinguish them, I will call the first RED and the second YELLOW. In hand, the RED is a little more muted and the YELLOW is a little more yellow. BTW, I like the wood grain effect.

    The irredescent colors in the first one would probably get you bagged "questionable color" The second coin should slab no problem.

    I disagree...
    I've seen coins of that color be graded before, although color is more consistent throughout the coin, I see no reason why that would not graded
    Now, I believe the second coin is a nice one, and might get graded... But with all that black chatter going on, I wouldn't know what to grade it...
    It would be interesting to see what the second one comes back as!

    I believe they would, 64 on the first & 65 on the 2nd.

    Based on eye appeal, I like the red over the yellow. The black streaks on the yellow turn me off. They should both grade MS but the number is anyone's guess.

    I forgot to mention, the mark by the "E" (in E PLURIBUS) on the top (RED) reverse is a die crack.

    The strike on the first is incredible; lots of detail there.

    Both are very nice coins!
