dmat New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 7:21 pm Hello everyone, I recently got interested in collecting coins...actually these two are my first purchase aside from typical "junk silver" and a few common Morgans. I was hoping that I could get some trained eyes to take a look at them and give a grade. The bottom half of the coins in the pics are softer due to the angle of the coin, in hand there is no difference. Why did I ever sell my macro lens? When one side is higher grade than the other are they averaged or is it the lower score that sets the grade? Thanks so much for the help...

dmat New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 4:12 pm Thanks for all the replies... I bought these to re-sell but after having them a few days I think they are staying put! I'm really getting hooked on the old coins and specifically the Barber series...I may have to try and collect the whole set Report this Post to the Staff
