Mods vs. Members contest

Alrighty guys! It's finally here! For my 2,000 post I will post this as it! Was hoping to wait awhile, but I couldn't wait much longer, this contest has me excited. The battle against mods and admins, against the members, where both sides will compete till the end, too see who ends up on top, that will be considered the "Coin King"! Will be awhile till we get to that. There are going to be a series of challenges for both sides, to narrow it down. Many challenges that will challenge the wit and intelligence of the mods and members both! These challenges will earn you points, and the top ten people who make it to 100 points first will go on to compete even further! When we get to there onely those ten can compete, but everyone else can cheer and everything and help out from the side lines. Members can help other members, and mods can help other mods, etc. If you want to work alone, that can be fine too. But they will fight till the end when one member or mod earns the right to be declared King of Coins, and the bragging rights that come with it. Hope whoever wins doesn't take that to far. Now there is a mystery prize to whoever wins, and if a mod wins, and they don't want the prize, then the runner up will get it. Does this sound fair to all? If not, let me know. Now onto the first challenge! It will be a grading challenge. Except the tough one on here is you have to name not only the grade of the coin, but also what else might be on the slab label also. Doesn't have to be in the correct order, but you do have to name all that is on the slab label. Does this make sense? If not, I will try to clarify further. The deadline for answers will be Nov. 25 at 8 pm eastern time. No entires after that will be permitted. There will also be other challenges to gain the to hundred points, and also bonus point threads and clues. Be on the alert. Everybody ready? Let's get on with the grading! Be careful, these are no walk in the park coins. These are toughies. Read posts below for pics.

I have great vision (thank God), but some of those pics will be a little difficult to use to assign a proper grade.
Granted everyone has the same thing to work with, but some will be lightly educated guesses.

Oh man, sorry guys! Can't believe I put up the wrong pics and sizes on some of those pics. I feel like a real idiot right now. Sorry guys, I am getting new pics up asap, just give me about 30 minutes to upload them to photobucket. Sorry guys, and I'll allow everyone that has posted guesses right now to edit there answers if they would like. Only this once though. Sorry guys.

Phoenix

 

I swear I've owned every exact coin pictured but here are my guesses without any comparing or reserach which would be cheating:
1- 1882-S Morgan MS 62 PL
2- 1879-S Morgan MS 65 (PL only on the front)
3- 1948 Franklin MS 64 (most are close to FBL but I can't see the FBL)
4- 1913 Lincoln MS 64 RB (dipped w/too many spots for me in 65 they often look like mattes but aren't toss up)
5- 1954 MS 65 (looks like maybe an S/D)
6- 1939 50C MS67
7- 1940 50C MS 65 you don't have the front picture of it so I'm grading the back?
8- 1936 1c PF 65 RED
9- 1880 5c PF 65 CAMEO

 

Pics have been edited and larger ones have been added to the post, so go back and check the other posts for the new pics all! And I corrrected the error on the 40 Walking Liberty, correct coin has been added. Sorry again for the confusion guys!

Phoenix

 

You probably have, these aren't my coins, researched them on the internet guys to prevent further confusion. Everyone that has posted some answers before this pocs are allowed to edit there posts now if they would like since there are new pics. But after that no more editing. Sorry again guys.
