I don't think you overpaid for the 1881, it's worth $50 in ms-60, and that's for a raw coin. Certified coin and four grades higher, you definitely didn't overpay.
Same deal with the other coin.

The 81 is about right and it does look the grade... The '86 looks Ok, if it is an 63 its not an 'A' coin

I think you did just fine. You'll be able to get your investment back, and maybe a little more in the future.

 the prices you paid were fair. Are these the old small white ANACS? |

I find it interesting that the ANACS MS-63 is in better condition than the PCGS MS-64. Shows you that PCGS is not the strictest, most consistent grafing service like the market hype says it is. This also shows just how useless the TPG's are. |

They look accurately graded, nice for the grade and fairly priced. You chose nicely struck examples. Good examples of "Buy the coin and not the holder."
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

No, new yellow holders. I apologize. I misread the post. I thought the 1881 S was certified by PCGS.  I still thing the MS-63 looks nicer than the MS-64. |

I see a donut of abrasions around the cheek of the 63. Subtle, but there.

I don't think you overpaid unless you are a dealer.
