I made 4 bucks today! Rainbow-toned Morgans, that is! What a haul! (Lots of pictures!)

Today was a good day . Apart from midterms ending, (making me a SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR ), I got some mail! Idiot I was, when the mail truck was 9 houses away, I left for the P.O. There, I picked up package number one... the two PCGS dollars. I'd been waiting for them, and WOO HOO! What colors! I love the 1887. Of course, when I got back home, there was the "Sorry we missed you" slip for the other package. With nothing better to do, I figured why not go back to the P.O.? I got there when my mailman got there (my house is the end of the line), and picked up the two NGC dollars. I'm happy today
1879 NGC MS63--fantastic lustre
1887 NGC MS62--someone put a gouge in Miss Liberty's cheek Oh, well. Holdered reverse-out. The color's a little better shown in the second reverse picture.
1883-O PCGS MS64... my first mislabeled slab... called 1883. Oh, well... can't say I care
1887 PCGS MS64... the money coin! This is absolutely my favorite of the bunch. Exceptional lustre beneath the toning, and on the reverse... beautiful color, as well A steal! Plus, the tops of the letters on the reverse are connected with light die breaks--must have been near the end of this die's life. Also, there is a clash of the back of Miss Liberty's head just inside the wreath to the right of the eagle's right wing (didn't show up too well in the picture). Neato! I needed to take a few pictures to be sure everything was seen... I'm getting some more lights soon, so this is soon to be no longer necessary
The only problem with this coin is a little haze at the bottom left of the reverse. It's in a green-label holder... anyone think it could hit 65?

I think the last one is like an MS64.7 or so from what I can see so I don't think it will upgrade, but it does have a shot....................at the very least you got a PQ 64
42/92
I love those toned Morgans.

Considering those fall under my major and minor I will have to agree with you Jeremy. (although calculus is pretty simple)
As far as the 1887 is concerned, go for a 65! It looks pretty clean.
