First this is an unfair test as my photography skills are poor to say the least.
Here are three coins I graded and sent to PCGS these are actually the only three coins PCGS and I agree on.

All coins have at least some mint luster remaining.
The Point spread is 9 points on the three coins. Thats the only help you get.

This is not a contest but if some one gets all three spot on they will get an F12 1864 2 Cent from my collection.

Please give reasons for your grade assignment. Just posting a numeric grade does not really help those who are not familiar with this series. If you are guessing then please say so.
Hopefully this post will help those who are looking for this type coin .

Interesting topic. This is a series I have not even attempted to learn to grade. Maybe later tonight I'll get out my ANA grading standards book and give it a try. Wink

I knew I should've used the  Longnine Quantum Grading System (LNQGS) on them:

These coins are  neither uncirculated, nor are they  not uncirculated.
