<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 976315, member: 21782&quot;]Both are nice coins!&nbsp; Based on the photos, the first is EF due to the lack of luster, the second is AU due to the luster, maybe a mishandled proof (sharp detail and wire rim).&nbsp; I&#039;d say the first was toned in a folder due to the lack of toning on the reverse.&nbsp; Of course they&#039;ve been cleaned at some point, as 99.9% of coins that age have been.&nbsp; If they hadn&#039;t been cleaned, they be black corroded blobs due to the prior unavailability of proper storage. The fact that the TPG&#039;ers could possibly body bag either of these coins shows how out of touch they are with the market and is the reason I put little weight on their opinions.&nbsp; Anyone with a microscope could pick any coin apart, even these with great eye appeal.&nbsp; A case of not seeing the forest for the trees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
