Some new coins graded by PCGS-guess the grades?

Some coins I bought off eBay from same seller which I really like. I have been having more fun submitting coins through my dealer than buying new coins. Conversely when I do buy coins I noticed that the downturn in the economy has caused some great coins to come up for sale cheap at my local store. :high5:

1st IHC......MS64 rd
2nd IHC....MS62 bn

 

That 1908 is a very nice coin

 

1908, probably a MS63 RB, but either the pic is a bit out of focus or the feathers are badly defined. If the later is the case it would bring down the grade, imo. The 1865 is a beaut MS61/62 Bn IMO, I like it the most of the two.

 

63 Red maybe RB
64 RB

 

You guys are close. Few more guesses and I'll post. I hope people enjoy that. I like when others do this as it's fun to test you skills against the grader of the moment at either PCGS or NGC. I personally don't buy or submit to other companies.

 

duplicate (on this silly Blackberry phone)

 

Probably both are MS63RB if PCGS.

I like to do that on my coins also. Sent a group of 12, from same roll of lincolns to NCG and before I sent them, I found something on each to serve as an identifier. I had graded them as (4) MS-65, (5) MS-64, and (3) MS-63. I received notice but not the coins yet, there were (6) MS-65, (3) MS-64, (1) MS-63 and (2) "improperly cleaned". Hopefully I was close per coin. I should get them in a few days.

63 RB and 63 BN - even with the nick it is a strong strike.

 

63 rb (maybe 4)
64 bn

 

64 RB and 63 BN

Ok here it is: the 1908 is a 64 RB. I was hoping for RD but it's fine. Included this photo for bqcoins- I think the feathers are weak towards the end by the TY of LIBERTY.
The 1865 is a 63 BN. Was hoping for a 64 RB, but the nick on the face of the Indian was probably what did it I suppose. I think the misattributed it as Plain 5 when it is a Fancy 5. Is this correct, if anyone knows?

 

lovely my friend lovely

 

Thanks Spock.

 

Nice coins. Plain 5 is correct.

 

I actually like the 1865 better than the 1908 - I love the brown coins with the hidden red luster poking through.

 

Thanks Larry. Yes Mark I like these type of brown coins- the contrast between the red/orange hues and warm brown has such eye appeal. Wow- that was poetic. Maybe I could work for the auction houses dd::goofer:

 

63 rb & 64 bn

 

Wow, I'm bad at grading these coins -- at least I got the color correct.

As for the fancy 5 versus plain 5 -- and without going to any references -- it's a plain 5 to my eye.
