Well I went with 66 - but wavered between 66 and 67. Would not be surprised with a 67 grade. Sure is a beauty.
Why just say it is toned, put it on ebay and it is priceless. :) I agree - that this coin has 0 eye appeal.
I would put the 1888 at VF details. The 1890 I would put AU, but can't tell for sure if that is corrosion on that one spot. The other two are VF...
Yep - head of 1836, small 8 and stars. Looks like it could be an n-14, can really tell - the coronet line looks straight.

Very cool....Thanks for sharing.
Same as ANACs - they got one right. A very nice VF-35 coin. Not quite as much wear as the other coin.

Missed this - congrats to ziggy and ziggy jr.

How do you know it was an employee? It is my understanding that coins and fingerprints can appear after grading. While I am not saying it did...
I agree. If nothing else it seems to have a touch of wear on the reverse and that puts it in the AU range.
To the OP the auction you linked has pictures that make the coin look polished or cleaned(maybe whizzed). That orangish color is off - granted it...
Set a minimum starting bid. You can build the shipping costs into it.
