    Can I just get the HA Award again? :)

    Here's my guess
    1915-D: AU-55 to maybe an MS63 (Take a look at the Mint Mark..is that an RPM or maybe it's the way the picture was taken)
    1914: AU-55/58. Hard to tell, pictures were blurry.

    Really? If I may ask, what does a coin with toning look like to you?
    *If there is a way to even explain it*

    I don't care about rankings, but I'll guess:

    15-D MS65 BN, can't see the luster, maybe RB
    14 MS-63 BN

    yes sir, It's pretty simple to explain it. I am lucky in a sense because my severity isnt as bad as others (some people only see in black and white). My little annoyance is when you have two colors like in this case a Red and Brown, that they look both like they are a bronze color.

    ANother example Stop lights

    Red looks a orangish to me
    Orange looks yellowish
    Green looks white.

    Well, from some pretty disgusting pictures there were folks that were all over these like a rooster on a june bug. Will tally scores, publish rankings, and repost another two.

    Question - should I post the next two in the same thread or start a new one (so the current coins in question will always be on page 1,,, I'm leaning that way)... yeah.
    New post coming.

    Both of these were PCGS.
    1915-D > MS63 BN
    1914 > MS62 BN

    Final comment on these two....

    Despite many moans and groans from the players regarding the quality of the pictures,, many out there were apparently able to really filter out some key areas in each coin can base very accurate grade based on what they could see..... other could not.

    Overall we ranged from a cumulative for both coins from 1pt off <guess who, again>, to 25pts off <oh boy,, sorry shoe... HA is honerably submitted to jon67 this week>:hail::smile

    Special note... special thanks and recognition should go out to three folks here,, each has submitted a guess regardless of quality of pictures or personnal opinion regarding this thread... I can only assume that each actively provides this feedback for the benefit of forum members, which is meritable imo. DUKE KAVANAUGH / GDJMSP / & MARK_H......

    Now, on to work up next weeks challenge and post the new rankings.
