Last batch for now..... These coins are already slabbed, pit your grading skills against the "experts".....each other.....It may be tricky because these coins are scanned through plastic slabs, so keep in mind that scratches and white specks are on the holders, not the coins. If a coin is annotated as being scratched, I will tell you. You can decide if the coin is annotated as being cleaned or damaged. Yet another 1837 CBH, this one in PCGS   This 2008 commemorative (?) dollar is NGC (all marks and specks are on the slab)   And this 1805 Half is another one of those NCS with details, so letter grade only.   |

Overall grade for the 1837 CBH I would say VF-30. The wear on the reverse will keep it from going any higher.
From the images of the dollar it looks to be a mat proof. I'm going to say PR-63.
The DBD is a little difficult to grade. The obverse is VF-30, there appears to be a weak strike on the reverse along with the wear. I would give this coin an overall grade of VF-25.

i dont think that all marks and specks are on the slab, it is indeed on the coin (1). But you can see the difference in the second coin which does not offer any mark or specks.
warm wishes.

Weak strike can sometimes really knock the value of a coin.
I have a FDC Gem! 1917 Australian Florin. Such a coin with a perfect strike can catalogue around $5000, only mine isn't a perfect strike. Far from it. I bought the coin for $50.
It is very weakly stuck up in the high points of the design. The lower parts of the design are absolutely perfect. There are absolutely no other marks on the coin anywhere. The coin was purchased from a very well respected dealer, who has contributed to Australia's numismatic literature.
The coin was sold as a die trial to test the die pressure needed when setting up the coining press. It should have been discarded and remelted. It now resides in my errors collection.

I would have thought those black specks on the rev would have kept it to a 69 since a 70 is supposed to be immaculate.

Right you are Nod....right you are.....I had posted this disclaimer earlier along with the coin, but rather obscurely I imagine. My apologies. Quote:
