VF-20 for the first one and F-10 (maybe F-12) for the second would be my guess. Nice nicks!

Thanks everyone! Quote:
Maybe acid date What are you seeing that makes you think acid treated? I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it been messed with. I have spent a couple of days looking at acid treated buffs on ebay... those that are sold as acid treated both acid treated dates and acid treatment of the whole coin. If I'm missing something please help me learn and point it out to me. Thanks again, Blair |

Thanks Nickelguy! Thanks Mark! They may not be the best examples but they will nicely fill the whole until I can afford better examples.
Thanks again,
Blair

Blair , on the whole date area of the 16-S ,it looks like that area is lighter than the rest of the coin . I'm not saying this is definitely an acid date just my half ''armed'' opinion .  |

I don't think the 16 is acid treated either. I think it's 'lighter' because of the light hitting the higher part and reflecting off of the shelf of which the date sits on IMHO

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
