    I picked these up yesterday, the 36 for my mercury set, the 23 for my 7070 and the 63 just because I liked the toning and didn't want to see it get dipped to blast white for some others that don't liked toners. I'm not really sure on the SLQs grade, I've always found this coin to be the hardest 20th century coin to grade, so if you've got an idea I'm willing to entertain it, I was thinking XF myself.

    Nice additions, I have to agree that 23 is eye soothing...

    The 1923 SLQ is quite lovely and I believe it EF. What would you grade the Merc?

    Those are nice.

    The merc looks Au to MS from that picture. Hard to tell.

    The merc is lowgrade MS IMO because of some hairlining from what appears to be an old wiping.

    Nice coins....for what its worth I would give the SLQ a XF40 and the Merc looks like maybe ms62 depending on how distracting the hairlines are and also what is on her cheek? or is that the photo.

    Hairlines on the cheek, they just showed up too well under the lighting conditions I was using.
