I picked these up tonight. Need some opinions on grades, I got lucky. I am new so please understand that these are best coins I have. but I need honesty and fire away. 1894-O I am guessing VF48? Toning is Sweet, Best of the bunch as far as toning.   1903-O Barber dime I am guessing VF-20 Toning on the Reverse is sweet. Obverse is a dark tan color.     1883 Seated, Toning on this one is Beautiful. Notice the toning on the shield. I am guessing VF30 if you can call it that?    Great toning on Reverse Thanks All.

I 'specialize' in barbers and seated liberties, so you're in luck!  From the pictures, I'd call the 1894-O EF-45+. Really nice complete band and only a little wear in the hair. But it's a little too much combined with the wear on the wing tips and flat-ish leaves for full AU-50, IMO. Overall, a very nice coin though. 1903-O...would need clearer pictures of liberty, but based on the other detail, I'd say VF-20 or a little better. Would call the seated liberty EF-40 or better. Again, need better pictures, but from the looks off it, not much wear except on the chest, and very nice shield. |

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the mint mark way off center on the quarter? From the pictures the word LIBERTY and head band show wear along with the wing tips and shield. I'm going to say EF-40.
On the 03 dime, I don't see any of the letters in LIBERTY, but the reverse has some nice detail. So I'll say VF-20 on this one.
On the 1883 dime I agree with EF-45.

Often, the mintmark position can be like that. Depends on the year.

Seated liberty, EF-45. Barber dime, VF-25, but it looks like there could be cleaning on the reverse. There are weird 'streak' marks, but if that's just normal toning and not hairlines, it should be alright. Edited by coinguybrian

There is full LIBERTY on the 03 dime but I think that it is only a nice F. Could be wrong.
