Came across two Morgan dollars that I want to have graded.
I tried my best to capture as much detail as I could using my phone. I will be getting a microscope camera for my computer soon. Thanks for any help

IMO - don't waste your money getting them graded as they no where near MS quality. Just put them in some "Black Ring" Air Tite holders. They will display nicely in those holders and you will save your self some money - probably enough to buy another silver dollar.

These look xf-40 to me. Worth $40 each. In a slab... still worth $40 each.
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."

1888 oval O is a top100 VAM variety and this one appears to be a VAM-17 but still not worth the grading fees in my opinion. Enjoy it in the wild and like mentioned above, spend the grading fees on another Morgan instead.

Tough grading, but consistent. Someday when I can post pics and do it correctly, I'll be anxious to hear what's said. The hi-resolution may be a problem. In purge mode now. Learning all the time. Thanks.
