    Sent a batch of 11 coins to PCGS, so it was fun to get them back and I've slowly posted some of these. I'll wait till Thursday night. :secret::thumb:

    Yay, I get to be the first to respond! Anyways, nice coins! The 24 appears to have just a touch of high point wear on the cheek and face, so I say AU-58 RB. On the 33, is that a nick on his forhead? or is that on the plastic? Anyways, depending, I would say 62rd-65rd. I am in no way an expert, so I'm interested to hear the experts chime in here and compare responses.

    I don't know of any 24 varities, but I noticed the "2" has a doubling look. The nick on the forward of Abe is from the die I believe (not post mint).

    ok so i am not imagining things the 33 also looks doubled. we should look into it to see if varieties exist

    I like the 1933, looks MS65ish... :)
    1924, I don't know exactly, maybe MS63

    I bet I'm way off.. LOL

    Spock- I think those are considered mechanical doubling but not sure. Maybe the experts on that could pipe in.

    I really like that '24! Pretty coin!

    I'd guess 64 RB and 64 RD respectively -- but the angled photos make grading difficult/impossible to me and therefore I have a low confidence in the preceding guesses.

    Mike- I always get glare if I take the photos on coins in slabs straight on. I use digital macro and do 3.1 to 4.0 on the zoom? for such photos. I only have been using one light source which is probably the problem. I'll wait til a few more people post.

    Leadfoot got it perfect. The 24 is 64 RB and the 33 is 64 RD. I was happy and agreed with the grades. So far all of my submissions to PCGS have been pretty spot on.
