Hi michael

 

1866 is a BS with PL disignation.

[James_OldeTowne]

Both are delightful, and surely the each grade MS-64 or better, right?

[L1ncolnF4n]

I was gonna say MS-64+ for both, and PL on the 1866 if it isn't a proof. A few little marks hold that from a 66 in my mind

[physics-fan3.14]

Wow, both of those are STUNNERS! (and more like what we expect you to post )

 

I would grade the 1858 MS-65*

And I'd call the 1866 MS-65 PL

 

I really, REALLY like the top one because of the beautiful toning, but I can appreciate the PL too!

What they said!

[toyonakataro]

Well, 1858 is graded MS67. It's also CAC stickered, so there's no room for argument, I take it? It's also approved by Mr Feld to boot

 

1866 is graded MS66 with PL disignation. As some members poited out, there are small hits/ lines here and there and I think it's not PQ for the grade. But PL coins tend to bring up minor hits/lines more obvious than non PL coins, you know. Mr.Feld offered me to buy it back in case I don't like it, but I decided to keep it because I like the overall eye appeal of this coin.
