Well, most of you will be surprised to find out that all of the coins, except the first one, graded XF40, where the first was XF45!
LasVegasLarry - Wow, you have a good eye and very conservative grading ability. However, I must emphasize minor "hits" should not matter when it comes to grading circulated coins. I'm not saying that a coin peppered with major and distracting hits couldn't affect the market grade, more than likely they would cause the coin to go into a non-market acceptable or damaged category. Hits only really matter when talking about MS60 or above. That said, I'm not thrilled to see circulated material with hits all over the place. If a grader is on the fence with a grade, an extra hit, in theory, could force the grade down.
