...and man are they getting tight. The two 1860's, 1822, and 1956 I agree with, but I'll have to spend a lot of time studying the others, all at least 1 point less than I had guessed, a couple of them 2 points less. And I know I shouldn't be submitting modern crap but I wanted them to go in the registry set, someone has to play the game.
001 1860 G.BRITAIN TOOTHED BORDERS 1/4P MS 64 BN what I expected
002 1860 G.BRITAIN BEADED BORDERS 1/4P MS 64 BN what I expected
003 1901 G.BRITAIN BLACKENED AT MINT 1/4P MS 62 BN I really expected 63/64 on this one too
004 1822 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 65 BN This was a good one, I was thinking strong 64/shot 65
005 1896 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 63 RB I was thinking 64
006 1942 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 64 RD Thought it was a 65
007 1951 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 63 RB How could I be so wrong???
008 1956 G.BRITAIN 1/4P MS 65 RB What I expected
Now admittedly I had a large pile to go through before I sent these in, maybe it was eye strain by the time I got to the moderns, maybe a little to much of the medicinal Scotch, but I obviously have to think more when looking.
Well I should have added a pic, here's the 1822 Farthing.

As for color, I've given up trying to guess where PCGS will land
I agree lots of eye appeal on that one.
Do you think PCGS grading is getting tighter?
My recent submission, 1884 1/3 farthing was graded 62 I was thinking 63.
If you compare the obverse to the reverse you can see the obverse is high MS 60s the reverse IMO doesn't show wear but is a filled die. You can see the details on the leaves in the wreath etc.
Even accounting for a filled die I think it should of been higher then 62.
