1916 D. Some of those spots look like PVC residue, but they are not. An acetone bath did not remove them. They are also much more green in the photo than in real life.

I'll have to say XF45 but in-hand it might go AU if there is any mint luster left.

I'm not sure on this one... By comparing the wear on the obverse to the wear on the reverse I'm tempted to call the front slightly weakly struck... If that's the case then I can see this being a MS coin, but not that high of one due to how many hits are on the obverse...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say MS 61 (or possibly AU)

Too little wear for me to think that it's EF.

Another outstanding coin! Nice, deep brown color.

A new master die was used in 1916 and the detail on this coin shows it well. Just a couple minor hits on the coin, the spots bring it down a bit. MS63 BN.

Even though there may be a touch of wear on the hair just above the ear, I'd say MS62 and maybe MS63. Too nice for an AU holder!

Thanks for posting these grades Billy! It's always interesting to compare a photograde vs. TGP.
