<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2787224, member: 69760&quot;]I&#039;ve decided to keep doing these types of threads so that I can 1) learn to better grade, and 2) get some (in)direct advice on whether or not I should submit these to one of the TPGs. I started to number these so that I can keep a log to look back on when I try and figure out which coins to submit, and to make a fun little game to see how they graded by the TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, what would you grade these as? Then we can compare grades in the &quot;spoiler&quot;, and see how off I am with my grade and analysis lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1913 Buffalo Nickel Type 1</b></p><p>[Spoiler]<b>MS-62</b></p><p>There&#039;s some noticeable wear on the bison&#039;s head area; however, graded examples I&#039;ve seen of similar &quot;wear&quot; leads me to believe that it&#039;s the striking quality and/or the level of die wear.[/Spoiler]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]646352[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]646353[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1904 Great Britain Florin</b></p><p>[Spoiler]<b>MS-60 / MS-61</b></p><p>There seems to be too much noise for it to be MS-63 level, but enough of the design elements appear to be there so as not to be an AU-58 grade. I am a bit concerned about the obverse hairlines; however, they appear to be more-or-less scattered in bursts rather than long and in parallel to suggest more harsh and/or deliberate cleaning / polishing.[/Spoiler]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]646350[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]646351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
