You'll notice some lines are missing. This was a shared submission, I am only posting my coins.
Here is the breakdown of the coins:
1879 - This is a pretty obverse bag toned coin. Bought it on eBay from another board member in a NGC 64 holder. Someone tried to say it was only a 62-3, but I was sure it would go 64.
1896-S, 1898-S - Bought these two from coinlieutenant on the BST board. I believe these were what he graded them. John has a good grading eye for Morgans.
1893-CC - This was given to me as a gift from a good friend. I posted an image of this coin here, and I nailed the grade as GD06.
1886-O, 1892-O, 1899-S, 1901-S, 1902, 1904, 1904-S - Bought these raw on eBay from Dale Williams (Collector USA). Their grade on the left, PCGS grade on the right:
1886-O XF40 - XF45
1892-O VF20 - VF35
1899-S VF25 - XF45
1901-S VG10 - VF25
1902 AU53 - AU55
1904 AU55 - AU50
1904-S VG08 - GD06
So out of seven raw coins I bought from Collector USA, five upgraded from their grades, and two barely missed. I'm not surprised, I've dealt with Collector USA for a long time and have always found their grading of raw coins to be very accurate, and a lot of times very conservative.

<< <i>Great grades, especially buying raw!

Thanks. Nothing like sending PCGS 11 Morgans and not getting one body bag!
<< <i>Thanks for sharing. Dale's been one of the few (only?) people from whom I've not been afraid to buy raw coins on eBay, and this reinforces my trust. >>
As of now, there are only three sellers who are not board members who I would buy raw coins from, and two of them haven't sold in some time. Dale is the only active eBay seller who I will trust to buy raw coins from.

Yes, that's him. They have always been very good with their grades of raw coins on eBay, and in fact will note coins with problems like cleaning. One of only a few who I will buy raw coins from sight unseen. I'm going to post pictures in a minute.
