[QUOTE="Sunflower_Coins, post: 8566997, member: 92388"]I agree with the first as being a low grade MS. A little dirty but I like it. The second, I think looks good and clean but that itself isn't good enough to warrant a 65. Luster on the highlights are muted, something that both PCGS and NGC have an aversion to on gem coins, unless it's some kind of toning. That does appear to be a light scratch across the injun's jaw. It may not be enough to get a details grade but I can see it knocking the grade unless it's some kind of planchet flaw. I personally see it as a 64, although it's hard to judge from a seller's pictures. Do you think the third feather is weak enough to garner an FS-402 designation? Every example I've seen has nothing left of it. Still beautiful coins, though![/QUOTE]
