<p>[QUOTE=&quot;leothelion, post: 3271946, member: 10198&quot;]None of the above coins excel in strike, condition and luster. Each suffer in one or the other of these important criterias to grade above MS64. The strike is weak (missing hairlines) on the first, 41D but I like the toning, bumps the grade MS65. The 51D excels in strike and luster but has more marks than I care for, MS64. The 48D suffers on all three, noting the rim ding by the date. The last two have apparent soft strike details, flat cheek on the 61, grade MS64. But these are nice coins to start out with until one comes across better examples. And if you stick with this series, you&#039;ll find those better coins and learn how the above coins get regulated down the grading scale. But I think you already know this. I&#039;ll post a link to my collection for you to compare your coins to. Good luck with this series.
