The other two I think may be cleaned.  I don't think so. Good cartwheel in just those pics. ANACS is definitely undergraded, MS67? ANI? What is that? |

On second look, they probably are not cleaned but for sure are way overgraded, but that's what one would expect in a basement slab. Overall a good price for the lot. If it were me, I would crack out the ANACS and PCI coins.

DO NOT crack them! Especially the anacs. If that's an early good pci then no touchy either. I collect 81 morgans, it's by 100 birth year. If that one gors up on your trade list let me know. I don't have one in an og anacs  Edited by Cascade

Leave the ANACS in the holder. The others are candidates for crack out if the destination is a Dansco album. Otherwise leave them alone. The holder at least provides them shelter.

Your buy was good overall for the lot. Here are the grades that I would assign based on photos: 98 Morgan - AU 58 - coin could go MS as hard to tell if there is still an area on the cheek that does not show circulation rub. 82 -s MS 63 78 - MS 62 22 Peace - Could not grade because of out of focus on obverse. Concern with the dark area on neck as the neck can be the first place to show circulation rub on the Peace dollar. The reverse of the coin looks outstanding. |

You did fine. The PCI slab is one of their older green slabs when they were at their best.

I would not with the ANACS. Possible gold CAC. I agree don't crack the ANACS holdered coin. CAC will NOT sticker it they only sticker PCGS and NGC coins, unless something has changed recently at CAC? The PCI 1878-S looks good and may be a MS64 coin, not sure if it's worth cracking though, I like some of the PCI graded coins and the holders too. The middle two ANI slabs for sure junk the holders, they will only bring a bad taste to any knowledgable person or dealer you offer them for sale, if you intend to do that.

$28 a coin for MS or sliders? Good deal!

I think you did very well. I would not crack out the 1881 s or submit for a CAC. The obverse rim appears to be damaged at 2 and there is something going on at 10 o'clock.

The ANACS slab is from the Amos Press ownership, based on the seven digit serial # starting with 2, it's towards the end of the SWH (Small White Holders) era. By April 2000 - when the bar code becomes the longer version - the ANACS grading had become more 'market' grading than the technical grading of early ANACS. With gradeflation, it's probably today's MS62.
ANI is junk. Crack them out and they are as likely to be AU cleaned as MS6 anything. You didn't pay outlandishly for AU cleaned coins so don't feel bad.
PCI... again by the era of the these, grading was iffy.
10 digit s/n + two codes - 1991 to late 1999/early 2000 - the good greens
14 digit s/n + one code - late 1999/early 2000 to September 2001 - the not as good greens
9 digit s/n + one code - September 2001 to March 2002 - PCI owned by Leslie Shade - the not good greens
After this comes the solid gold border
Also be aware that there are "fake" good greens out there, these date from 2009 or 2010 through at least early 2013. The tell on these is that the green border line on the 1991-2002 version is actually micro-printed "PCI". On the fake good greens it's just mushy blobs instead of letters - obviously so with a loupe.
