I'd better stop uploading for the day, not sure if newbie spamming is kosher but I'm just so excited. I want to practice grading and so your opinion on grade is most welcome.

I suspect I've grading them too high. Now that I see the pictures (much better resolution than these aging eyes even with magnification), I see more flaws. But dang, they're all pretty Too bad all the coins in that big bag are not as nice as these first few I've posted.

This is another beauty. I can't guess the grade but like RK55 posted, MS60 would not surprise me. I think it would be considered BN.

Maybe my eyes are missing something, I only see one small rim ding. Surely nothing to worry about on grade. I would go MS-60 all day.

I really don't know how much red you need to get a RB designation, but it's got to be close

You have some very nice Indian cents. I hope you catch the collecting bug and keep these and try to put together a set. You have some good pieces to start.

63BN, there ain't no way this coin circulated. I downgrade it one point for the irregular coloring, although I don't consider it unnatural.

A suggestion, with the caveat that you *must* research the appropriate usage as it's been discussed very often in this forum: I believe that an acetone dip will successfully help the crud around the L in LIBERTY.

But again, research it, and make your own decision about what you see.

Idle question: do you by some chance have access to rose thorns?

I also wanted to jump in here and say that a new member uploading pictures of their coins is not considered spamming and we actually encourage all of our members to post any coin they are proud of or excited about as you describe it or any coin they just want to show the forum for one reason or another.
