If I do bigger ones it shows the UIN and grade.

I am on a MAC and I don't know how to edit pics

Blimey a 1934 proof crown would be worth £fortunes I imagine!

Although i am only using CGS prices the standard and proof graded 85 are the same.

Not a lot of difference in prices for ones graded below.

Although they have graded 4 proofs against 45.

I give more weight to the obverse. Pictures really hard to judge detail and can't really separate as per above. The orb below cross has an inverted "T" by memory on it that should be detailed on a fully struck up example. The bottom pic seems to show some edge wear or handling?? A big deal for me is also flower stamen detail and separation, but this is more a strike than a wear issue IMO.

 

The biggest deal on obverse is G5's cheek, brow edge and mustache detail/wear/weakness to the right...

I have seen many wreaths in slabs (P&N) that grade "64" or even 5 that I would drop to 62 range based on issues in these areas. Can't say I've seen enough wreaths, let alone '34s to guess LCGS grades though.

Here is how to do it on the MAC, click and open your picture, on the toolbar you'll see the tools tab, click on that and then there you can crop and adjust the size, bearing in mind you can only upload 500kb

No. I have a grade 85 Proof and it is the same exact value as the 85 Currency

The links don't work for me, so a guess using the initial images. In CGS-speak, 80, 75 & 70. All appear to have some wear on the roses, so it is likely to be a spread around EF. The first is decidedly better than the last two. Those numbers should equate to Good EF, EF and aEF in proper grading terms.
