Well I wouldn't go so far as to say that grading services are a sham, frankly I think they do a great job overall. For the novice collector, it...
Doesn't matter to me, eventually the coin will go into a proper holder or in an album. I do prefer to buy old PCGS slabs because their grading...
The 28 Peace dollar would be a nice choice for grading, but I would strongly suggest that you make a thread of the coins that you intend to submit...
Here is the best image that I have of a proof like. Notice how the devices are frosted while the fields are mirrored. Some DMPLs are really...

What is your intention by sending them off to be graded? Are you looking to sell them, or something else? I ask because grading is pretty pricey...

F-15 seems about right, however only mint state coins are eligible for the split bands designation should they deserve it. Personally, I feel...

I think that I like this one the most, an 1852 NGC PR-65 half cent. [ATTACH] Though i would say that my most sentimental coin is a common XF...
Ahh, now I'm starting to learn. Thanks Rick.
What about then L? It sort of looks like one of my proofs. [ATTACH]
Are there any particular diagnostics that you can point to that convinces you that the OPs coins are not proof? Showing me fairly poor images...
I ask again, what has you so convinced? Though it has been stated that the coins have rounded rims, hey look pretty square to me. I have proof...
