Both look good to me. Sharp, clear images that show the coins off well.
I agree with Chris, but the grease error on the tail of the 5 looks kind of like the tails of a couple of the Philly 1985 DDOs. Looking at...
On the dealer level, this makes particular, good sense. Even as a matter of a private sale, it's good advice if something out of the ordinary is...
