Beautiful pair, what proofs did you trade to acquire them?

It's very nice looking!  But I don't think it's MS64. Looks like 62 to me. I'm only guessing because of all the nicks on the coin. |

Hey Bruce, nice coins. Try getting a little more light at the centers.
64 Saints can be pretty nicked up. The second one looks like a nice 64, the first one just doesn't have enough light to tell. The lighting makes #1 appear to be a 63.
Thanks for sharing! I saw your BST trade and almost responded. I decided to hold onto the little gold I have left!

Very nice. Although the first one is 62 and second is 64.

Both are in NGC and PCGS 64 holders, respectively. The first one has no more marks on it than any other 64 I've seen or owned. It might be the lighting of the photo exaggerating something I don't see in hand. I might have experiment with different lighting. I traded an 1861 and 1868 PF64 Half Dimes plus an 1865 3CS PF64. |

Based on them being in MS-64 slabs this is a classic case of the images making the coins look worse than they are.

I for one have difficult time taking pictures of coin in slabs.
I agree that the 15-S is hard to grade from the lighting on the pictures.

The 1915-S is in a NGC holder I assume from your earlier statement.

It must have been your lighting.

I must humbly admit photographic failure. And, here I am trying to show off my coin photo skills. Okay, lesson learned. I was so excited to get the photos done and get the luster/color to show that I missed showing the obvious surface detail. I'll probably redo the 15-S sometime later. In hand the luster and color on that coin are killer. I don't see any obvious nicks on Liberty (but other eagle eyes out there might see something I missed). There's some scratchiness on the sun on the reverse, but the reverse has a lesser impact on the grade anyways.
I just noticed in my own photo above what looks like a nick in the knee area...I missed seeing that when having the coin in hand...but it's still good for the grade. And there appears to be some minor scratchiness in the fields. I think even MS65s have that stuff going on.
