<p>[QUOTE="Old Texas Reb, post: 2933323, member: 91220"]This is a good reason why I have never bought any world or US coin unless I can see it up close and personal. Photos are misleading. The OP's pics and the auction photos of the same coins appear to be of different coins. Even considering so-called "market grading", I would call the 3 as follows: the 1898-0 is a 64 but not PL, the 1885 is a 64 PL and the 1898-0 a 64 but not a 64+. I don't think any of these would qualify by my standards as a 65-too many marks on the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
