Looks like a high VF to a low EF. I'll call it VF-30.

Just a suggestion - when you take a photo of a coin try to shoot directly into the coin rather than at an angle. When the coin is at an angle the center of the coin may be in focus but the near and far edges may be out of focus (like in your pics above).

 

Solid VF

 

Right on the borderline...I'll give it EF.

 

Thanks for the advice, but I don't have a macro setting on my camera so I just use a loupe and I can't let in light to the coin without the picture getting a little distorted.

 

How about this?

 

With that horn and that tail, I'l risk an XF-40

 

I think it is an XF 40 with that nice horn.

What do you guys think about this 1936-D? Looks EF-AU, but I'm not great at grading these.

 

I like the horn on this one.

 

I am not great at grading them either, but the first I would say VF-35 or XF-40. The second looks AU50 to me. Just my opinion.

 

I think your about right on the second one too. XF 45 maybe AU 50.

Au-55

 

Not the best at grading these , but that's why I like these threads , the '36-D , EF-45

Picked up another one today. 1913 T-1. What grade do you think it is. Looks F-VF to me.

 

I think your right on either a high F-15 , But I'd lean to a VF-20 . I really like the type 1 .

Just wondering, what should I have paid for that?

 

i would give it $10

 

$10-15 give or take .

I picked it up for $6 so I did pretty good.
