Could I please have some help grading and valuing these coins? Coin 1: Front: Back: Coin 2: Front: Back:
Can't see a lot of detail, and the link to the gallery doesn't work on my computer. From the small pics, I'd say EF or so.
coin 1, I'll say F-12. coin 2, VF-20, but the rim dings would net it at F, I think. used ANA 6th ed. for grading.
I think coin 1 is F12 maybe F15. The second coin is VF25, but like mentioned with the rim dings I would also net it to F. To me the first coin is the nicer of the two.
Personally, I have some concerns about whether they're genuine, particularly the second one. The denticles don't look right. If they are genuine : #1 - F15 details, no luster due to an old cleaning, discolored reverse fields, net G4 #2 - VF20 details, no luster due to an old cleaning, bumps and bangs, net G6, maybe VG8. It doesn't look genuine to me. Similar 1831s have sold for about $50 on Heritage.
Here are some additional coins, could I get your thoughts on them? 1835: 1877 - This coin was done a great disservice by the scanner in realty all the letters of “liberty” on the shield are clearly legible as are the letters of “in god we trust” on the banner on the back, and the date for that matter An 1883-O Morgan: 1881-O 1884-O - the scratches are nowhere near as distracting in real life, and the back is much more lustrous, almost proof like To be quite honest the scanner did a terrible job with this lot of coins and the last two.
Well for the 1835 I would go with F-12 and maybe VG10 for the seated 1877. The morgans are why you need a camera and not a scanner. I can't really see enough on the morgans to hazard a guess.
