<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 9906, member: 112&quot;]It could easily be because of the pics - but the coins appear to be rather flat and have little luster. But luster can be quite tricky to capture in a picture - especially a scan. It could also be that the coins have been dipped and have little if any luster. Since luster is one of the most important grading criteria it makes a great difference in how those coins would grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>But let&#039;s assume it is because of the pics and grade the coins on detail. The &#039;79 - I woud say AU50 - if the luster is really good maybe AU55 - maybe. </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;01 - VF25/30 - I&#039;d need to see the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would suggest a copy of the ANA Grading Guide. And if you really wish to learn - become a member of the ANA and sign up for their Home Study courses on grading. They are excellent based on everything I have been told by those who have taken them. You could also sign up for the live grading classes given by the ANA every year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
