I did as expected on two and better on the other two. My grades are in () and are followed by comments about the coin. 
Invoice Number 3222850.
LINE # CERT # COIN DATE DENOMINATION VARIETY COUNTRY GRADE
1 21953386 1880-S S$1 USA MS65 (MS65) Purchased as an MS64 from the local shop. Paid $45.00 for it.
2 21953387 1977-D $1 USA MS66 (MS65/66) Purchased in a $7.00 mint set. New coin to update my registry from a 65 to a 66!
3 21953388 1923 S$1 USA MS64 (MS64) Bought as an MS64, but the coin has a small die chip or break on the lip of Liberty. Neat coin.
4 21953389 1888-O S$1 USA MS63 (MS61/62 with possible BB) Coin is VAM 9 Top 100. I cherried this coin out of my local dealer's Morgan box. It was in a 2X2 marked as MS60 and $25.00. According to my recent Top 100 price list, this coin is a $90.00 coin. I know...nothing special, but I like it.
I thought it was a bit baggy and there was a small rim nick that I thought may bag it. The nick looked like it was natural to me, so that is why I tried it.
Cheers, Richard.

Post some pics if you have them -- I can't grade Ikes to save my life, so would like to know what a recently graded 66 looks like.

I did not take "before" pictures, but I will be happy to post some when I get them back (hopefully by the end of this week).
