The Gods of PCGS have poured their grace on my submission

First a brief history: Two to three years ago when I restarted coin collecting, I bought raw Morgans off Ebay before I learned to grade and needless to say, got burned bad. About $4,000 worth bad. Thanks dmplrainbow for most of the crap coins. And my first three submissions to PCGS were dismal failures, 90% bodybagged. Then I stumbled wearily here and learned the error of my ways. So lessons learned, I moved on...
And got bit hard by the Morgan color bug. These are mostly what I've been collecting in the last year and a half. My collection grew to almost 40 coins. So I sent some to Teletrade, sold a few on Ebay, and spent hours upon hours, and then more hours (using newly-acquired knowledge) deciding which of my best-looking NGC, ANACS and ICG coins to try to cross to PCGS holders. I did this because PCGS coins bring higher sales and because colored Morgans look great in PCGS holders.
Below are the results of my recent submission, 15 coins, 13 attractively toned and two untoned. The untoned ones are the 1879-s MS64 PL and the Indian cent.
1860 MS61 Indian PB ANACS = PCGS MS62
1930 MS64 PCI Lincoln = artificial color
1951 PR67 ICG Jeffrson = PCGS PR67
1879 ms64PL ANACS Morgan = PCGS MS64PL (the rest listed below are Morgans)
1880-s ms63 NGC = PCGS 63
1882-s ms63 NGC = PCGS 63
1882-S ms64 NGC = PCGS 65
1883-o ms63 NGC = PCGS 64
1884-o ms64 ICG = PCGS 64
1884-O ms63 ANACS = PCGS 63
1885-O ms63 NGC = PCGS 63
1887 ms65 NGC = PCGS 65
1887 ms63 NGC = PCGS 63
1904-O ms63 NGC = PCGS 64
1904-O ANACS ms63 = PCGS 64
So of the 15, 14 crossed and 5 upgraded, 2 from ANACS and 3 from NGC.

GRATS! Great job.
<< <i>1930 MS64 PCI Lincoln = artificial color >>
So, does this one in particular look at all "questionable" to you?
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
The coins were submitted IN their holders, via the crossover service. I was pleasantly surprised; I was only partially confident in my choices, as I'm still learning, but because 13 out of 15 were toners I submitted in the holders. I thought that if at least 10 got put into PCGS holders I'd be happy with that, but boy was I happy that only one didn't make it, and that 5 got upgraded! I'll post some pics in a few minutes of some of them (in their original holders).
