midnightrider New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 4:49 pm Picked up a small lot of coins from a craigslist ad today. Any opinions on grades for these two? They're both going in my type set till I find nicer examples. Report this Post to the Staff

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 12:52 pm I agree with ShadowCreator on the VG for the LSH. I'd have to say low VF for the Flying Eagle. Report this Post to the Staff
midnightrider New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 1:42 pm Pretty close to what I was thinking also. Got another 1857 flying eagle in this same lot, which is actually in nicer shape, but it has a big red streak of residue on the obverse which kills it. Not sure what the stuff is, swear it almost looks like a kid drew on it with a crayon or something. Report this Post to the Staff

midnightrider New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/08/2011 3:48 pm Traded up on the 1868 half today. Traded it and a little junk silver for a much nicer 1862-S. Not nearly as skilled at grading coins as most of the people here but I'm guessing AU-50 to AU-53 going by my photograding book. Report this Post to the Staff
