I just got the grade on the Proof lincoln today reverse , obverse NGC graded it proof 63 RB. The half dime I actually got back a week or two ago It got body bagged obverse , reverse. I also sent in a 1982 no FG half it graded MS66, two 1996-w dimes one ms67 and one ms68, a 1885 morgan I cracked out of an old ANA ms65 slab it up-graded to MS66, also I had a few columbians graded 62- 63 one with some dark and colorful toning. 1839 dime graded AU58 and a few more coins with good grades. Overall I had two coins(the other a was a 3CS) body bagged out of 30 which I am pretty happy with since I knew the wildly toned ones are always susceptible to the body bag.

Silly me. NGC submission. Now I really want to see the Morgan.
NGC MS66
Not as much color as I expected; I don't know, when somebody describes a coin as "toned" in a general sense, I'm thinking the coin has some coverage. I would describe this a brilliant with "rim toning." Big difference. I hope that doesn't sound negative to you.
That's what I've come to expect from NGC graded Morgans. It looks like a nice coin, but, I think I would prefer to have it in my collection as a solid 65 - I admit the image isn't close enough for me to categorically declare the coin's grade. I also admit I am overly critical - that's why I would much prefer buying raw or from trusted folks who are not bound by the slab grade. It's also why I don't buy many coins per year, and slab even fewer.
What you think of your '96-W Roosie? You feel it really is a 68? I'm having a hard time adjusting to the low relief Roosevelt dime and Washington quarters. Maybe I'm just hung up on seeing "die polish lines, tooling and high relief." What can I say!?

- I only meant in my original post that the proof lincoln and the half dime were toned. You are right the 1885 $ only has rim toning. The 1996 W roosevelt is a coin I am really unfamiliar in these grades so I don't really have an opinion on it's grade except it appears flawless to me and it really stands out.
