[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2193820, member: 73165"]UPDATE: I have had the coins in hand for some time now, but just got around to putting them into Air-tites. The lighter-colored 64 half (which I had high hopes for) has a scratch above the 6 and 4 in the date that's rather prominent in hand, but not obvious in the pictures. It's visible in the pics, but it doesn't look nearly as bad in the pics as in hand. I think that scratch limits the grade to, at best, 63. The darker half looks just a little bit better than I thought it would. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. Offhand, I'd say it might grade 64-65. The nickel, I'm very pleased with! I love the light rainbows, which are just as nice in hand as in the pictures. I think I have another gem here, probably a 65. Overall, I'm happy with the coins, but I wish I had noticed the scratch on the lighter half.[/QUOTE]
