Guess the grades

Hey Guys
I thought I would post some coins for ya'll to grade--so I tried to pick out some harder ones.
The WL Half Dollar is already graded---
The Buff Nickel is raw but I'm thinking about sending to NGC with my next lot---the white spot on the hair is a piece of the flip that I didn't seen till after I took the photo and had put the coin away---

The WL is a harder to find date...1938-D---and therefore I think alot of people overgrade this date.
The Buff is also a harder date---it is the lowest mintages---and it is one coin that is known for a week strike.
Unlike the WL Half Dollar, I think alot of people undergrade this coin as the detail is week even in UNC samples.
In the last few years I think this date has dropped in value---

So post ya'lls grades and I'll post mine in a few days.

How about F-15 on the Walker and VF-25 on the Buffalo.

I will venture a guess of VF on both.

 

F-15 for both

 

I put a low-end F on the Walker half. I think there is just enough detail to warrant a Fine (especially on the reverse).

I grade the five cent a high-end Fine. The LIBERTY on the obverse is just not separate enough from the rim for a VF in my opinion.

Id say F12 for the Walker and VF20 for the Buffalo.

 

I agree with indianhead on both.

 

I agree with AdamL and indianhead. The walker would grade F 12 and the Buffalo would grade VF 20. Just not enough horn on the Buffalo to grade VF 25.

These look like the ones from my collection if we were to remove the mint marks. I'd be curious to know how a service graded the Walker. No big rush, now...

 

Walker: F 15
Buff: VF 25

Nice circulated coins, both of them. :thumb:

 

My initial inclination is F12 on the Walker and VF30 on the Buffalo.

 

12/15 on the walker. I think the buffalo is an absolute minimun of a 20, but I think it should have no problem grading a 25.

 

Hey Zane
I'm waiting to make an order of some flips and such and then I hope to send off this nickel and that dime me and you have talked about---

Ya'll keep posting grades and I'll post again sometime soon.

Speedy

 

I am going to say Fine 15 on the 38-D and VF 25 on the Buffalo.

 

F-15 on the half and F-15, maybe VF-20 on the buffalo. I don't see enough detail in the hair and braid for a VF-20 though.

 

Ya'll are good!!!
The Half Dollar is graded F15---I grade it a nice VG....the detail on Lady Liberty just doesn't seem that strong.....but who am I to judge
The Nickel was bought as a F12---I grade it as a VF20, but have been told at differnt times that it would go 25....we shall see

Thanks for the guesses!....I'll have to do this again soon.
