Thoughts on grade and comments appreciated. Both coins are encapsuled in CAC holders.

The second one looks better than the first one so all I can think of is:
1st one AU55
2nd one AU 58

But with CAC grading it may be AU53 & AU55

I prefer the first one regardless of grade. Going with AU55 on both.

A TPG would probably grade these as mid AU.
The second example is a better choice, in my opinion.

#1- 53
#2- 55

I really like the first example as the Seated dollars are difficult to find with nice color.

I prefer the more uniform color on the second one. Both should grade mid-AU.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I would have been in the AU camp with all of you if I had to
opine without knowing the grades.

Well - 1 out of 2 ain't bad. But from the picture I don't know how the top coin can be a 63. Guess you have to have it in hand.

I would say 1 out of two is very good considering you do not have the coins in hand. Having the MS 63 in hand I can say it comes alive when rotated/tilted. Lacking a bit in strike due to die wear but it is a solid 63. The best of both worlds IMO as it was previously graded by PCGS/NGC and stickered and now in a CAC slab.

Wait...What?
Can you explain to us a little bit better what that means?
I also thought coin #2 was the better one.
Looking fwd to how this unraveled.

The MS 63 example has an " L " at the end of its certification number which denotes a Legacy coin. A Legacy coin is
a coin (PCGS/NGC) that was previously stickered by CAC prior to crossover into a CAC slab.
