Here are my best estimates. Not real good in the AU to low MS range so take with a grain of salt:
1 - MS63
2 - AU55
3 - AU55
4 - AU55
5 - AU55
6 - AU53
7 - AU55
8 - MS62
9 - AU53
10 - MS62
11 - MS63
12 - AU53
13 - AU55
14 - AU55
15 - AU53

I don't know if it is just me, but these Morgans look a little "off". Either the coins have been messed with or some photoshopping. Idkno? For instance, the second 89 appears to be a great strike with little wear and few hits or hairlines, but is a dull grey..I'm confussed. I would think you would still see some luster in an AU coin....?

That would be coin #7 I felt it had some minimal rub on the hair and the eagle feathers and as you note the photo shows little luster.
Might just be a bad photo...

I think every one of these coins except maybe #8, and #11 are AU. #8 and #11 might be uncirculated. but the most important grading area (the face) is shadowed so its hard to tell. I also think 2, 3, and 12 may be cleaned.

Concur 2,3, and 12 look cleaned and agreed on most of your AU assessments.
Where are you seeing wear in #1? Looked like a solid 63 to me.

Hmm I could be wrong then, 3 against 1. well anyway I noticed that the front part of the cheek near the nose has a dull lighter gray color than the rest of the cheek. Anyone else see this?

Yeah I see it. I think it might just be the lighting?

I believe these coins can only be graded in hand. Too many questions and the pics don't give up info easily.

I plan on bidding on the 1878-S, 1896, and 1897.
If I win one, I will take new pictures of the coin to determine a better grade.
Thanks everyone.

who was selling these coins rojo-86? if so I recommend staying away from them. I bought some and had to return them b.c they were cleaned and polished. he did refund me but nowhere did he state they were cleaned and the photos looked good
