I'm no expert on 5 cent silver, but what little I know and have been taught I would have to say a high grade. The details on the coins are excellent for a silver tiny coin. Just think how tiny the Hub would of been.

Welcome Spix.
You should have started a new thread for your coins rather than tack them on to this one. You'll get more interest that way.
It's cool that you found two coins from the same reverse die.
Die chips aren't really a variety, they are errors.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Love the obverse 'pull-away' toning on that Obv 3 Devlec... ..from another site..on pull-away toning... Quote:This phenomenon is not present on all UNC toned coins. And some types of coins never seem to have it (such as Peace dollars). It is all about how the planchets are prepared (annealing temperature, trace elements, chemical environment). From my experience in minting, I believe that this effect occurs when the planchet has already oxidized slightly before being struck, and then the toning progresses more after the strike. That "pull-away" toning was a new phrase for me SPP. ..and I do like to see those 2 reverse die chip 5 cent silvers.. I had never seen that before these examples.. Here are a few more views of that 1880H... Maybe a little more detail can be seen in the face profile here.    . . Edited by DEVLEC

Scans are not the best when a camera is handy..

Die cracks are very common on the Vicky 5 cent silvers.. ..but the short straight marks (possible tool marks) are different from what we usually see on these Quote:
