Wow - you are really old!!! I did wheaties when I was kid. :) Just joking. I actually think the bottom pictures of the 1833 are ugly and...
Here is why I said AU - on the reverse the upper right corner of the eagles breast looks like a little rub, then the very upper edge of the eagles...
Nice coins phoenix. Can you retake the picture on the reverse - the strike thru is too fuzzy, but it certainly looks like you described. Cool coin!
I think it is a good way to start. I know some may not like this, but I did buy some graded coins that I thought matched the grade description....

WOW - for gold those surfaces look so clean. I am not any good at grading gold - but I am going to go with MS66, since I did find a couple of...
A coin can be ms and have a finger print. To me it is distracting on some coins, but not on others. A finger print can reduce the grade on a...
