<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 54982, member: 112&quot;]Understand first of all the pics aren&#039;t the best - not ciriticizing pal, but it&#039;s hard to grade form pics as it is. I would say that 1, 3 &amp; 4 are XF. 1 &amp; 3 I would say XF45 - both appear the have luster remaining. But they show wear on the high points - bonnet, hair etc on the obverse and the eagle&#039;s breast and wingtips on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now compare number 4 to 1 &amp; 3. See how it has more wear in those same areas ? And while it appears that there may be some underlying luster - I think has been dipped one too many times - but just may be the pic. So I would give it XF40.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now #2 has even more wear in those areas - and appears to have little luster. So I would say VF30/35.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the hardest things to do when grading is to NOT undergrade. I would say more collectors probably undergrade than they do overgrade. Keep that in mind. But don&#039;t go bumping your grades up because of it - just keep it in mind. With a little time and practice - it&#039;ll come to you&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
