    Hi guys!

    I am looking to buy a few coins and i have come across this nice 1893 Isabella 25c and [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1900 $1 Lafayette. Its hard to find what the grades are since not many people here know how to grade these coins in US standards. I just want to know what you all think the grade could be on these 2 coins any other opinion is appreciated too :D

    Here they are:

    The coins look detailed enough to be nice. Only you have them in hand, and rub is rub on any nations coins. I believe your judgement in hand would be better than any of ours by pics.

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The seller calls the 1893 25c Dipped, well struck UNC.
    and the 1900 $1

    I am afraid those are the only pics i could supply you with for now, i will see if i can ask the seller to get some more pictures of them

    see if you can get good prices ( dont pay us prices if you get a good deal go for it) and i agree with what AJ said

    No.
    You have the same resources we would have, online priceguides, auction archives etc.
    A little homework and you should get a comfortable idea, and if working from those pic, I would stay on the low end. If you have the luxury of the coin in hand, then a better judgement call could be made.

    EDIT
    Not knocking the coins at all, just if working from pics be careful. That is all I am saying.
