Do you need higher quality ones?

Well, the better the quality, the more accurate we can be. I wouldn't go out and hire a professional. Just something around the sizes of those scans, at the bare minimum, so we can judge the looks of those surfaces better. If you can go over those sizes without sacrificing the crispness of the pics, that'd be even better. Sometimes that's hard, though, as there's a 100K size-limit on the pics in these threads. Just do the best you can, understanding it's important that we be able to see those surfaces and get an idea of how they reflect.

Alright, is it okay to share a link to the uncompressed versions on my google docs?

Hambone, those are still scans. We need pics with a camera, I'm saying. Otherwise we really can't be of much help on your questions.

From the scans, these look to be AU-55 territory. The 1921 Morgan dollar is fairly common and worth just a bit over melt value. Definitely not worth having graded. The 1921 Peace dollars, however, are scarce and if this is a problem free example - tough to tell from scans - could be worth $130 or more. |

Peace dollar is showing quite a bit of luster on the picture. I think it could be MS-62 to MS-63 with weak strike on the obverse hair. Good traces of luster on the Morgan too but I think I'll stick with AU-55 for it looking forward to seeing some other folks opinions

The pics are much better than the scans! As noted above, the '21 Morgan is a common date and is fine in the 2x2. It looks uncirculated and maybe MS64 or so. The '21 Peace is a key date. The details are the Peace dollar look close to MS but it is likely AU55 or AU58. If problem-free, it is worth the cost of certification. Both of your coins might have been polished at some point. The surfaces don't look quite right in the images. |

Surfaces on the Peace dollar look OK to me Morgan looks like it might have over-dipped I think it's one of those borderline AU/MS pieces one sees in dealer cases could go either way I'm going AU on it just to be safe |

Nice Peace dollar, most suffer from weak strikes, and I bet it hits MS-62, possibly 63... And it is definately worth getting slabbed... |

Thanks guys, I'm not so good at grading yet.

I suspect both coins would come back as cleaned, but it might be worth a shot on the Peace dollar. Nice coin either way. |

Hambone, I can't add anything to what's already been said, so I'll just reinforce that that Peace should grade, nicely. That weak center-strike in the hair is well-known on those, and, as such, is by no means a detriment to it grading mint state. Good luck!
