[QUOTE="I Palindrome I, post: 54393, member: 2059"]I'm working on my grading skills, but they're not there yet, so I could use some feedback from those with better and more-experienced eyes than I have. First off is an 1834 small date half dollar. Although it's not visible in the scan, the coin has nice toning around the edges. I'm thinking it's about a VF-30/35, falling short of EF-40 by virtue of the brow and hair above the eye. [url]http://www.bangeman.us/images/1834.jpg[/url] Next up is a 1937 proof Lincoln Cent. It also has some toning and is a nice RB. I have a hard time distinguishing a PF-60 from a PF-62 from a PF-65 so any thoughts you guys have would be welcome.
