MS61! On a 1929 Indian quarter eagle!
I bought it raw as an "about uncirculated," and I thought it looked pretty good. I would have been happy enough with an AU55, as long as it wasn't returned body-bagged as a counterfeit--which is a serious problem with this series.
I'm still waiting on five more--a regrade for a finished Morgan mini-set and four regular submissions. That was my CC special. (Collector's club, that is. Not Carson City.)

Unfortunately, some of my other submissions weren't so lucky. I got my four coins submission report back:
1907 Liberty Quarter Eagle: Genuine 92 (improperly cleaned)
1857 Gold $1, type I: body-bagged, "questionable authenticity"
1887s gold Liberty $5: XF45
1913 gold Indian $5: AU53
The Indians are faring well, while the Liberties are scoring lower, not scoring at all, or even worse, coming up possibly counterfeit. Again, where small gold is concerned, a reminder that it's worth making sure sellers have a return policy, and even GENUINE slabs are better than nothing, because they're effectively confirmed real.
Now I hope my Morgan regrade upgrades. It's a 64, old green holder, but it looks every bit as good as my MS66 next to it.
