1882CC and 1885CC Morgan dollars -- need advice

I have the following 1882CC and 1885CC Morgan dollars and want to sell them (probably on the BS&T forum).

Note that I do not have the original GSA boxes/COAs.

What would you suggest I do:
1. Send the dollars to NGC to get them graded (I understand that NGC will grade GSA dollars in their original GSA slabs) and then sell them.
2. Sell them in original GSA slabs, without NGS certification.

If you want to try and guess their grades, please do!

What do you think are fair offering prices for the coins as is? I might just get a consensus here and then offer them for sale on the BS&T forum).

    I would guess 62 at best on those. The cheeks look pretty scuffed up.

    They both look like average MS62/63 coins, personally I would not bother with the wait times and just sell as is, but that is your call.

    The spreads between grades are very small in the 61-63 range. You’d be better off just selling them as-is.

    I’d call the 85-CC 61 or 62 and the 82-CC 62 or 63.

    You'll probably end up losing money spending on grading fees compared to selling them as is.

    In this grade, there isn't much difference in price and these are sometimes traded as commodities.
    GSA cases are all the plastic that they need and these will be worth less if cracked out of those. Sell as is.
