These two coins were graded by NGC. What is your grade for each coin? Coin 1 Coin 2 Edited by coinish

1: XF-40 2: XF-45 It would not normally be worth it to slab common-date Indian half eagles with this much wear. However, it's perfectly OK to buy them already certified!  |

ksammut nailed it. Now, considering those 2 grades, compare those coins to the third coin. How would you grade the third coin?  Edited by coinish

Night-Hawk, your estimate for Coin 1 was EF-45, and for Coin 2 it was AU-50.
Coin 3 is better than the 2 other coins, which were actually NGC AU-50 and NGC AU-53.
Would you agree that coin 3 has better details?

They were extremely generous on that second one IMHO.
That's a lot of wear and appears lusterless.

But would you agree that the third one has better details than the second one?

Even the TPG graders admit that grading these $5 Indians is all over the map.. (and that is in hand..) Obviously #3 is the better pic of all three, it has more contrast but it is just a pic. As mentioned in other threads, with this wear if it has luster it's a low AU, otherwise XF. Hopefully you have a chance to see them all in hand, they are all very close. The nicest one will jump up at you..  |

Definitely. Your probably looking at an AU55 coin or there about.
It's hard to grade this incused design from pics.
This is an estimate.
