All I can go by is my ANA Grade Guide. Looks closest to Fine-15 but could be XF-40 using my knowledge. Wish there was something better than a...
I'm not sure why keep both isn't an option but in this case I would take the second coin. It has better detail so is a better type rep. James

My thank you note for the Gobrecht Dollar will be swift and effusive. James
I may be in the minority here but i remember grading in the 1990's or so and they were too strict often times. I think the coins grade is a 64....
I don't know how to do the Voo-Doo. Do you post the grade? James
