Mark, The sooner you figure out that GDJMSP grades to a different (and more stringent) standard, the happier you'll be with his posts. :) Take...
I'm terrible at grading these coins, but will guess MS 63...>Mike
Darn. Not so good this time around. :( Believe it or not, I thought I recognized those coins from Feld's recent offerings (a few months ago, no?).
They don't look good, generally, below 64. Occasionally you'll see a nice 63, but rarely in my experience do you see a nice 62. However there...

p.p.s. Robec, Very nice proof half cent! :)

Read 'em and weep, boys. :ohya:
After further review (and just to mess with RLM), I think I undergraded the second coin. I think I mistook some JPEG artifacts for nicks.
I believe I recognize those coins (from TCCS?). I agree with your assessment, and incidentally, none of them have Wayte Raymond toning....Mike
Thanks. :) Now, compare that coin (which now resides in a PCGS MS 65 slab) to this one, which is in XF/AU condition: [img] And you can...
