I'd say all MS-63? I'm pretty bad at grading Morgans though.

66
64+
64 (The lower cheek on the '88 is a little dark, so a 63 would not surprise me - if some marks are hiding)
All Great Coins!

1879-S = MS66 with a possible PL designation
1882-O = MS65
1888-P = MS64
Some very nice Morgans, cant say I am familar with that holder? Not PCGS, ANACS, ICG, SEGS or even NGC?

I'm impressed with the photos. What did you use for lighting and camera equipment.

Prethen, I use a T2i, Tamron 272E, and cheap $10 Ikea LED lights diffused. Copy stand is a must as well, and I shoot my images through my laptop, not my camera.   |

Oh, wow  . First coin might just make MS66. Second coin is MS64, and the third is probably MS64, but has a shot at MS65. |

Fade, when you post the grades, you should include what you think they grade as well.

I have no patience and nobody else is guessing, soooo....  These are Hannes Tulving slabs. He's a major bullion dealer who self-slabbed higher end but inexpensive stuff he had for sale for a couple years. They are generally undergraded. Before I give you my grades, I want to note that several of the "scratches" you can see in these images are on the "slabs" themselves. They're nearing 20 years old now, and aren't exactly high-quality material. My grades would be as follows; 65+. This year comes nice, so that holds it back from a 66. 64. Very high end, maybe a +. Would never get a 5 due to reverse chatter, but the strike is pretty dang solid for an '82-O. 64 pre-dip, slim, slim, shot 65 after dip. One of you noted the cheek seems "dark". That is not due to my lighting setup, that's exactly how it looks in hand. Great luster, but the cheek area almost seems a bit recessed than the rest of the face. Peculiar, and something I've rarely seen before. Sometimes it's okay to buy third world slabs. These coins cost me $50 each. |
