<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1334491, member: 112"]Regarding grades - the '91 $2.50, the coin looks like it was either lightly cleaned or it received some rough handling at some point. This is indicated by the fine lines on the obv behind the head and above the head. And on the rev by the fine lines above the eagle. The eagle's head, neck, and parts of the shield, also look like they may have some very light wear. But I'd have to see the coin in hand to say one one way or the other. There is also a large, broken scratch on the reverse. For me, this, coupled with the fine lines on the coin would be reason for the coin to receive no grade. But, the TPGs don't always see it that way, and sometimes they do. So this coin could be in a slab that says anything from AU Details to MS64. I see no way it could have ever graded higher than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Indian, I cannot even estimate a grade based on those pics. The $20, I'd say XF at best based on the obv pic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
