<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 2817292, member: 9474&quot;]This is a continuation on my raw submissions to PCGS or Part II as I like to call it.&nbsp; Here is the link to my original post - <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-morgan-re-grading-challenge-part-i.292763/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-morgan-re-grading-challenge-part-i.292763/">The Morgan Re-Grading Challenge - Part I</a>, for the background story which I will not go into here.&nbsp; I will say that I was much more nervous about this submission batch because most of these were purchased raw. I purchase my coins as if they would grade MS63-64.&nbsp; As you will see by the results, I was quite pleased.&nbsp; In my last posting the columns got all messed up, but the first column will be the date of the coin, the second column will be the original grade and grader or raw if purchased as such and the third column is what PCGS graded the coins.&nbsp; Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>1880/79S - Raw - MS65+</p><p>1887 - PCGS MS64+ - MS66</p><p>1887/6 - NGC MS63 - MS63</p><p>1887-O - PCGS MS63 - MS63</p><p>1887-S - PCGS MS64 - MS64+</p><p>1888 - RAW - MS63</p><p>1888-O - RAW - MS64+</p><p>1888-O Hot Lips - This was my very first coin that my Dad gave me. Was not aware that it was the Hot Lips variety until many years later.&nbsp; I originally sent it off to ANACS because I had a free grading coupon and it came back VF35 details - graffiti. This was total non-sense.&nbsp; There was no graffiti on the coin.&nbsp; Fortunately, PCGS agreed and it was holdered in a VF35 holder! Needless to say I felt vindicated and was really pleased.</p><p>1888-S - PCGS MS63 - MS63</p><p>1889 - RAW - MS63</p><p>1889-O - RAW - MS63+</p><p>1889-S - RAW - MS63</p><p>1890 - PCGS MS64 - MS63 </p><p>1890-CC - RAW Cleaned - Came back UNC Details cleaned - took a chance</p><p>1890-O - PCGS MS64 - MS64</p><p>1890-S - RAW - MS63</p><p>1891 - PCGS MS63 - MS63</p><p>1891-CC - RAW - Came back UNC details cleaned.

Oh well.</p><p>1893-CC - ICG MS63 - MS62 - This was the one that I was most disappointed with as I felt that it could get a + grade or even a PL.&nbsp; I may crack out and resubmit. </p><p>1894-O - RAW - AU55</p><p>1894-S - RAW - MS62 - I bought both these coins as a pair as AU coins so I was pleased with the outcome especially on the S.&nbsp; I paid AU50 prices for them.</p><p>1896 - NGC MS65 - MS65</p><p>1896-O - PCGS AU58 - AU55 - I was disappointed here. </p><p>1897 - PCGS MS64 - MS65</p><p>1897-O - NGC AU58 - AU58</p><p>1897-S - PCGS MS63 - MS64</p><p>1898 - ICG MS65 - MS65</p><p>1898-O - RAW - MS64</p><p>1898-S - RAW - MS62DMPL - My only DMPL or PL out of nearly 80 coins submitted.&nbsp; </p><p>1899 - Old ANA holder MS64 - MS66 - This is my favorite Morgan because of the blazing colors on both the obverse and reverse.&nbsp; Absolutely stunning.</p><p>1899O - RAW - MS63</p><p>1899-S - PCGS MS64 - MS64</p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from my big hits on the CC&#039;s, I am very pleased with the outcome of this batch.&nbsp; PCGS got nearly all their previously graded coins right and even the competitors.&nbsp; Thanks for looking.&nbsp; Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
