Definitely possible; impossible to say from the pics. Toning looks good from the pics, though.
1908 = AU55 RB (great toning, though) 1909 = MS64 and full-red all day long! Great coins.
Wow. Now that's dedication.
I would never bid on that, based on those pics. It definitely looks like monkey business to me.
They're both at least AU.
1885- AU 1886 - F/VF - jacked up obverse 1896 - could be either AU or MS -- probably AU, but can't tell from pics 1921 - VF/EF - jacked up reverse...

Collect: Even with the lighting, I can tell how that coin must look. That's a great piece. Do you have a full-spectrum light? I find they help...
Post them in the Open Forum on Cointalk???
I agree with Lehigh's statement. The TPG version of net grading is essentially market grading. They're trying to quantify how bad the defect is....
That's the idea! It's a fantastic series, with a lot of dedicated collectors. Get in the market now before too many other people catch on! If...
By the way, what are you talking about? Your set is great!
You wish you could get those for 10x bid. I bought them from a dealer at the Spring 2008 MSNS show. I had massive offers before I left that day.
