Only 2 of 4 crossed but I'm excited

As I've posted recently, I've been fortunate with 3 different submission and can now report a fourth.
Only 2 crossed but the 2 that didn't were shots in the dark. The discounted $10 fee for failures made those a cheap gamble.
1805 G$ 5 NGC-63 made it into PCGS MS-63
1856-S G$20 ANA 58/Pcgs 58
the 2 that didn't
1918/7-S SLQ Igcs-58 DNC (looking for a 58 was a little too optimistic)
1805 10 cent ANA 62 DNC (hairlined although not badly was also a stretch)
Reason for not being disappointed was the important coin did cross
A 1805 $5 lists for 19,500 in MS62 but jumps to $38,500 in MS63 For the $19,000 different the Premium Guarantee is $385
The $ 20 55/58 spread is $5,500/$7,500 fee $75
The 2 that failed (no surprise) drop $2,000 each if their were to cross at one lower grade
The overdate should but the 1805 DBD may eventually end up in a 58 holder (hairlines are very light that ANA missed them)
I know we all like pictures and I spent 3-4 hours yesterday into late evening and was not successful
In a day or so I'll post a couple and with the members who really know how to get pics may be able to give me some advice.
I realize that a Nikon Coolpix L830 is a low end camera (I think my iPhone did just as well) but I hate to duplicate another error with the wrong expensive camera.
I was impressed with the Dino-Light that was demonstrated at a show. It looked easy enough for someone who never could get good pictures but that seemed to be panned on the forum.

I usually open these threads and someones 1881-S Morgan crossed from N63 to P63. An 1805 $5 in MS is a different story!

Steve, The coin was returned today but as I've mention in several posts I have not been able to get good images
Took 20 shots but these are the only two worth sending, they do show the color that made me buy it even though it was a duplicate for my type set
After all that, I can't load the file since it's larger than 50K and don't know how to reduce file size

That 1805 is incredible. I need to get myself one of those one day.
