I recently sent in 3 rolls of Morgan's. Do these two have a shot at MS65 in your opinion?

79 before zooming in I say Yes
82 eh, Let it be
Both are nice though
They're both nice coins, but I'm going to say leave them. After many submissions, they might become low-end 65s. There are a lot of marks hidden on the face on the 1879, and the 1882 doesn't have enough "pop" for a 65. In-hand viewing could change my mind, of course.

Both look pretty accurate to me.
I would say the grade is accurate.....If you do resubmit, come back and tell us the results. Cheers, RickO
Strike is not there on #1

Not a chance.
I like the color on that 82!
Collector, occasional seller
I think that @messydesk is spot on and I wouldn't spend the time or dollars to attempt regrading myself. If I were tempted it would be the 1879 as the price gap is bigger, however I think the cheek will hold it back.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I would say on a technical side they get into low 65 holders.
I’ve sent in over 100 coins for reconsideration over many years, with a relatively very high success rate (typically getting a plus added to a whole number). I’ve found it’s super tough getting an upgrade on Reconsideration of a plus coin to the next whole number. As a separate issue, if the coin has a CAC as a plus, you might not get it back if you are fortunate to get an upgrade to the next whole number, where if you just get an upgrade to a plus from the whole number, CAC will reapply their sticker, since plus grades are not treated differently by CAC than the whole number.

I think the 1882 has the best chance.
The 1879......not so much.

That 82 needs a serious dip to remove the nasty and is over graded as is imo.. The 79 possibly has a shot but fees cost you more than value so why bother?
