I am thinking about a bid on this ebay item. I'd like some opinions of the grade before I decide on how high I might go.

First one: Looks to be VF20-30, nice looking example in a nice grade.
Second one: Looks to be F15, should be more affordable than the first one. Good Luck

Thanks for the analysis. I'll try bidding if it is within my budget.

With the first one I would agree with Wireman on grade but I would add that this coin looks cleaned to me so keep that in mind.

The second has that nasty rim ding, I would hold off for a better specimen.

Well, the first one sold for $345 (I bowed out after $245). The second one went for $208 + shipping. I did not bid.

Wow that is impressive $345 for that coin. I honestly believe it was a cleaned coin.

I think I might buy the one I was looking at on Sunday now, It was in better shape and obviously not cleaned and the dealer was only asking $150.00. I will pick it up this weekend toss it on ebay and see where it goes.
