I wouldn't give the first coin anymore than MS62, and it has (IMO) absolutemy no chance of making even MS64 from a good TPG. SGS might give it an MS70 though! ANACS got the second one spot on.

Well considering the first coin has better luster, less major marks and a better strike,why do you say ANACS got the second coin "spot on" and why do you say the first coin is MS-62 at best? If you could just post you reasoning for the grades I would appreciate it as we are all trying to learn here. Thanks!

The first IKE had a lot of hairlines and dings in it, keeping it from MS65 and BU. I say 62 because of the luster I see and the eye appeal (which, I agree is probably much different in hand). The second one has a bit of a better luster and a couple less hairlines.

Some people may disagree, this is simply my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion gbchaomaster, there was no special attention for these coins when they were minted as you know. So yes there are hairlines and dings in almost all of them before any were circulated. This does not keep a coin from being uncirculated or BU.
