I’ve got a problem 🤣.. Opinions on my NEWPS?

Just to clarify, my problem is a crippling addiction to coins. I took the (excellent) advice I got from these forums last time and lmk how I did?
Prices I paid:
1880-S MS64 DMPL PCGS OGH $456 some small hairlines in on reverse

1881-CC MS63 PCGS $660 (only issue I see is the rather “large” scuff on the obverse near the bottom, and the strike on the breast on reverse).

1890-CC AU58 PCGS all around looks nice for a 58. Bit of stuff near the “we”

Also for my last NEWP, I’m thinking it might be not a real coin… should I send it into PCGS? 😅

    Wow! Very nice pickup. Wish I had one myself. Oh and nice coins too.😂

    The last newp is clearly the best. MS-70.

    Nice CAC pickup(Coins And Cat) Also, the hairlines are more likely die lines. Good pickups.

    Getting them as certified was advantageous. A guy had a bunch of PL or possibly DPL Morgans at a flea market a while back, offered at sucker prices "if" they graded well which I very much doubted they would. Long wait times and optimistic grading is always a problem.

    Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. I’ll try to send him in for grading. Would our hosts grade him do you think?

    I learned my lesson buying raw lol. Tho I took a risk with Shadow, thought he was a easy MS-100

    One important thing to remember, cats have to scratch things. So keep something that they would rather scratch near your furniture. Oh and get her used to you handling her paws, that way she won't give you troubles when you need to trim the claws.

    The reverse of the 1880-s may have die polish lines- take a good look through a higher power loop to determine if the lines are raised- And I am referring to the area above the Eagle's head and in and around IN GOD WE TRUST. I suspect what you think are hairlines might be die polishing lines.

    These are nice examples

    They slabbed a cricket so I don’t see why not. Hopefully the grader won’t be allergic to cats like I am.
    Those look like nice coins, too. Nothing to sneeze at (unlike the cat).

    Nice coins. I'm a dog person. I dont hate cats, but I won't own one. Heres Charlie.

    I already got him used to me touching his paws. gave him his first (no one was injured!!) Nail cutting just now. I got a scratching post for him.
