Looks like you did quite well with only one big disappointment in the 1938 that you hoped for gem and got 63; congrats on the grades and also for the win last year that awarded you the grading credits.

According to their website they sell these for $3.03 over spot so the price changes all the time, as I type this it shows this will cost over $26 as silver spot is down today to $22 and some change. Not cheap but a decent value given the markups on Morgan dollars today for less silver content. I don't follow spot prices that closely but I cannot recall spot at $20 recently, the $23.87 price you noted seems to be the price they would pay to buy one not their sell price.

I would call it AU from what looks like very light cabinet friction/rub (most notably on the forward leg and a couple of the skirt lines) and the hairlines in the fields, however grading proofs from photos is difficult at best. You have to be able to see in hand proof coins like this to see if what looks like rub may be only strike weakness or hairlines that may not be from cleaning.

Just a worn out coin that got stuck in a dryer.

That is a great coin and a really nice family heirloom. There is some luster evident in your photos so I'd call the coin as AU50 or XF45. At those grades the value is absolutely tied to the bullion value, but still a great coin to pass on to your family members when the time comes.

From the initial photos I was thinking a cud; from the new photos I am thinking it might be a retained lamination planchet defect or damage.

What you see on "OF" is either a die chip, a line on the plastic window of the 2X2, or damage, I cannot tell from your photos with the coin in a 2X2. Why anyone would even bother putting this into a 2X2 is really the question.

No need for additional photos, that coin screams fake.

Just a very worn out die, no value over face and not an error.

The PCGS full encapsulation program for GSA's is not brand new but still a fairly new product, so it is uncertain how the market values vs the established NGC format will play out. As you noted right now it does seem that NGC GSA's tend to sell slightly better and for a few dollars more, unknown if that will continue to be true. I have not seen one of the PCGS full GSA holders in hand; but from the photos if you are careful I doubt that you will have any issue removing the GSA and holder intact. Good luck with whatever direction you choose and I hope you get the upgrade if you do decide to submit to NGC.

Not an error coin, just a spender with some minor strike doubling and a huge fingerprint. If you work for the FBI you should be able to figure out who left that print.

Just a worn dinged up wheat cent.

I see a cent with minor strike doubling, some plating blisters, and loads of environmental damage.

Thank you for the edge photo, I will now change my doubtful to 100% sure you do not have a missing clad layer.

Looks like the earlobe took a hit, just PMD.

Doubtful, do you have a photo of the edge.

Hello and welcome to the forums. Why are you interested in having these coins graded? As you say you have just a handful of coins (and if your intent is to sell them) it might be of use to you to post what you have to submit (clear in focus cropped photos of both sides) to get some guidance on if any of your coins are valuable enough to warrant submitting. The submission process is not that difficult but different types of coins (ancient vs US) need to be on separate submission forms.

You must have the best eyesight of anyone on the entire planet if you can find anything thru all that damage. Will this be on your etsy for sale page soon?

Thank you sir, I'm not a big variety guy in terms of collecting but I agree with you that the S over horizontal S 1909 Lincoln is one of the more interesting varieties in the series.

From my standpoint I view all ASE's as bullion regardless of the finish. They are a beautiful coin and I have some but I have zero interest in collecting these as a series/set. I hear a lot of people that don't like series collecting because of the sameness of the coins, I usually think that is a rather limited view. However when it comes to ASE's I can somewhat relate to this concept. But to your question in the op, I am sure that some collectors do indeed like the burnished look.

There are a number of Kennedy half sets that already include all of those things. This set includes everything, MS, PF, varieties, SMS, accented hair, everything. Kennedy complete

As @gmarguli said it is not hard to find BU rolls of Morgan dollars, these are all put together rolls of common date dollars in low unc condition. If you just want one find a reputable dealer either local or on-line, do not be under the illusion that any of these are original or unsearched.

From your photos I would not be inclined to submit, but keep in mind that I am not a gambler. If you just want to test yourself and see it would not be very much of a financial outlay, so if you want to give it a go then sure why not. My guess is MS65 from your photos, be sure to give the coin a nice acetone bath to be sure any contaminates are off.

This has been happening for awhile, many non collectors bought up rolls thinking that these would be great investments. For those hard hit during the pandemic they attempted to sell them off only to find that they are worth face. In my business I see lots of coins and shortly after the economy shutdown I started to see many older state quarters that were in excellent condition begin to show up. Even this far into everything I still now and again see one that stands out as way better then you would expect for a quarter in circulation for 20 or so years.
