Ben, I think both coins are a vf-20. :) :)
Nice pickup for under 100! :) Unfortunately it is going to be pretty hard to pick up an 1815 for under 100. The cheapest I have seen was a holed,...
Bone, Overall, I would say vf-25 or vf-30. I wouldn't question either grade. It simply depends on how much someone wants to net for the...
