A few newly graded gold toners

Grades just popped on these. The $5 is AU58, the $20 is AU55. Not my first attempt grading either. The $5 graded AU details, environmental damage first attempt, AU details cleaned second attempt. $20 graded AU details scratched first attempt. Shows how consistent graders are... I'm just thrilled they are both now straight graded!

That twenty dollar is beautiful!

 

Nice coins great colors beautiful got lucky they got past this time and they deserved the straight grades.

 

Gorgeous that 01 sure has a lot of character.

 

Very nice! And now you have them graded, big money!

 

It looks like the scratch on the $5 gold is much worse than the one on the $20. Which service graded them?

 

Both stunning!!

 

You sure sniff out some good-looking gold toners!

 

They are both gorgeous. Stop traffic toning, for a Gold coin.

 

Pcgs. It took some searching to find the scratch on the saint. There are a few that are in the wing of the eagle. Hard to notice and not distracting, which is why I thought it would have a shot at straight grading if resubmitted.

 

Great looking coins. Your experience certainly highlights the uncertainties and subjectivity inherent in the grading process.

 

I think the $5 is low grade MS. I think this was a bad case of TPG blew it. I would go MS 61 on the $5, and AU 58 on the $20. No damage. Straight grade.
