    Thinking of submitting a few toned coins and would rather not pay for a bag if at all possible.
    Do you think these would grade ok ?

    I see nothing wrong with them sir, but toned coins always are a crapshoot nowadays. However, yours are lightly toned, so I am betting that all would make it into slabs.

    Are you slabbing them to resell them or just for the warm fuzzy feeling it'll give you? If you're not reselling them, don't slab those that are not potentially worth more than $100 or you're just wasting your money I say.

    Nice coins! To minimize grading expenses you could run them through Great Collections or Teletrade's raw grading system. Once they get put in auction don't forget to place reserves! Better shot at straight grades through PCGS, IMO. NGC could call them artificial toning or altered surfaces.

    I think the 2 Morgans would make it through but the rest are kind of iffy.

    Only one Morgan there.. I took two pictures of each coin (except the nickel).. One with a flash to show luster, and then one with diffused light to show color. It still amazes me how the light will make a coin appear totally different. Just looking that the morgan, with flash all the hair lines are much easier to see, but you don't see the full color... with diffused you see the color, hardly any of the finer contact marks and hairlines.....

    I agree in principle with G. The Morgan stands the best chance.

    No. I don't think any will grade cleanly and even if they did it would be a waste of money, IMO.

    Maybe shoot them again and don't use a flash and don't diffuse the lighting?

    I'm with Lance all look like heat induced toning to me.
