Hello,
most of you got it right on the 1914 it is graded MS64 and the luster on this one is amazing! it was a regular Hand select.
Now in regards to the 1913 I agree with most of you that it is an MS63 but strange enough it was graded as an MS64.I'm thinking I should resubmit it for a lower grade.

I honestly don't see the point in resubmitting for a lower grade.

When the time comes to sell and you're feeling 'guilty' of the higher grade, just sell it for an ms63 price. Your buyer will be extremely happy.

Win-win situation.

Moe - I don't think you're obliged to do anything of the sort. If you were to have said that the 1914 was graded NGC MS63, despite our beliefs that it should be a MS64, no one is going to pay you a cent more if you were to call it undergraded. Just sell it as is, NGC calls it a MS64, which for anyone buying the holder is all that matters, and for anyone who is buying the coins, they'll assess the coin and likely come to the conclusion it is a MS63. Don't go out of your way to get less for the coin than you could otherwise.

Probably because the 13 has stronger mint luster around edges on obv and rev.. It seems (some else has mentioned this before) that this attribute plays a large role in gold coin grading.

I use an indirect light, on Automatic mode using Super Macro setting for images at 2cm away. It isn't the best, but they come out alright.

It's darker on one side. Until I get a better set-up, it will have to do. Here's an example... probably belongs ina different forum topic...
