[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7750187, member: 105571"]I fear coin A may have received an XF or AU Details grade. I looks cleaned to me - I believe I see cleaning hairlines extending across Liberty and the fields. Additionally, I see a lot of detritus in the crevices of some of the devices but not in others. This coin is just too bright for its evident wear. Now if Coin A did straight-grade, I can see it receiving a 53 from PCGS. Coin B is really tough since the overall blue cast of the photograph extends to the bluish cast of the white NGC holder, so I can't tell what the color of this coin might really be. As a result, I can't tell what the greenish stuff is in the eagle's feathers and located around the devices of the legend nor what it's color might be. I would call this coin a 45 but NGC may well have given it a higher number. Frankly, I am not enamored of either coin as I don't feel either has good eye appeal.[/QUOTE]
