I purchased a lot of ms65 old rattlers and received them today. I suspect they were all from one person's collection. I am very impressed with them. Here are a couple quick photos of two. Sorry the 1886 is not in focus, but you can see the quality.

Cool. Those 2 certainly look like 66s or better at first glance.
Any type coins or commemoratives?

I am not a VAM expert, however, I just finished examining them under a glass and to my knowledge I did not see anything that jumped out at me. Just a bunch of very nice coins for MS65 grade.
Congrats. Nice to get dibs on an old collection. Rattlers too.
Oh those look really nice!!!!!!!!
very nice
Cool! In the Rattler days, coins got punished for the brownish haze toning that the two coins above have. With some restoration, those coins have a shot at 66+-67, but not today!
Wow!! Nice score! That '79 looks like a 66 and the '86 should be a 67.
The 1886 "might" be a Vam 6B, If there is a letter transfer at the neck and the location of the 6 is higher than normal. The picture looks like a high 6 to me. The reason it may not be is because there are several that show similar diagnostics that are considered VNA(Not Assigned varieties). @messydesk can explain that better that better than I. Great looking Morgans!
Nice looking Morgans...If they are representative of the lot, you have a nice group. Cheers, RickO
Very nice.
Agree with the post above. Love the old Rattler holders.
Those look like very nice 65s.

We’re these offered at a show to you, online, or what?
I purchased these online (eBay). Seller has over 200,000 feedback so has been around a while. These were the only Morgans they had listed, but appeared to me to be one person's collection. All were old rattlers. So I took a chance.
How many coins in the lot?
Nice pick up!

Maybe they will sticker GOLD CAC?
Perhaps it is your photography, but the surfaces look a little spotty and/or hazy. As such, I would not geek out on them as MS65 coins

I have no idea. I like the coins and at this point will not go further. However, there is a CAC grader at Bozeman some 60 miles from here. I may explore the option. Thanks.
I agree, these were hurried up photos and nothing in my mind to get really excited about. They are nice, however, in my experience, cool it, they are nice but not ready for upgrade. Thanks for the comment. Anymore I do not think of any for upgrade anymore. For now I just try and enjoy the coins. I did return three of the coins for refund. So this shows I am not that just in to buying. But thanks for the comment.
