Coins back from PCGS. Guess the grades! (Grades Posted)

Posted my comments and grades below.

Ok, so my camera has been broken for many months. Please forgive me for scanning them, the scans introduced artifacts, junk, milky spots and muted toning (on the half). But, should still be fun to guess the grades. I was able to call two of them, well 3 really but I was hoping for the lottery on that one and learned my lesson. However, one totally caught me by surprise and certainly taught me another lesson. These "lessons" are getting expensive!image Ok, here they are.

1887S $5 MS61 - Called it
1891CC $5 Gen Scratch - I figured this might happen but was in denial and hoping it would squeak through. It's not that bad. What do you think?
1906D 10$ AU58 - Called it
1871 Seated Half Gen Cleaned - Totally missed this. Pretty frustrated about it. What do you guys think?

    I do not know gold and won't pretend to. The '71 though is a series I have been studying, but I am still quite new to. It looks like it is in the 35-40 range.

    I wish I had better pix for you. I have a feeling you guys will be as suprised on a couple of the grades as I was.

    Bummer about the two Gennies.

    The dark around the devices and lettering on the 1871 does seem to indicate a cleaning and then re-toning. image
