I hit the jackpot in terms of value, plus all 3 coins graded, and each one got upgraded by 1 point (submitted raw).
For your viewing pleasure (spent some time re-imaging the coins today)...and you can guess the grade if you want, I'll post grades later
1 came from PCGS holder, one came from NGC holder, and one came from ICG holder...

one has to wonder if volume is down to the point...
graders are sleeping on cots in the corner until a cart is pushed in the room

There is an "S" hiding over there by the tail tip
I am going MS65 across the board. That 26-S looks Sweet but hard to get a 65, not to mention higher than that. Also, by simple deduction, you most likely would not have sent an MS65 26-S in under economy, so I am guessing a 64 went up to 65 on that baby.

As fast as things are, it is looking like a record quarter for number of coin submissions.
I like the 1923 the best.
I am anxious too see the grades.

- Love the super fast turnaround, makes me want to submit more coins (beats waiting 4-6 weeks).
- 85 Morgan was NGC 62, 23 Peace was PCGS 63, 26-S Peace was ICG 62
While I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth (all 3 toned dollars graded, and upgraded by 1 point, a feat on to itself)...I have no idea why the 23 didn't 65 and 26-S didn't at least 64. But maybe that's the downside of economy service...less experienced graders? The 85 Morgan has several (and some large) carbon spots on the back so I can't imagine it grading more than a 63, but that's an "obverse only" kind of coin, very ugly/pretty in hand (depending on where you sit on the toner spectrum).
So all in all...other than the 26-S, which becomes very expense in a 65 holder I'll just keep these as is. No need to spend extra money on grading fees, just happy they're inside a PCGS holder (and toned, always a 50/50 crap shoot for Quest Color). BTW, the 26-S is an amazing coin in hand and looks every bit 65 (just not very struck up like some of the more common dates).
Thanks for taking an interest...no disappointment on my part regarding the grades

PCGS publishes grading stats on their website. Very informative.

Yes. I am well aware. I track the numbers daily and have for years. Keep in mind, they were trying to get coins out the door as yesterday was quarter end and they were trying to meet numbers. The 30 day coin cert rate is at a 1 year+ high of over 247K coins.
I have recently opened up a position in CLCT. It yields 7% at the current stock price. The just completed June quarter will be a record; record number of coins, cards, and revenues. The stock if off about 30% from the year high.
