The six coins listed below were part of a recent re-grade submission.
3 upgraded and 3 did not. (2 by a full point and 1 by a +)
Can you pick the 3 that upgraded and the current grade?
All grades listed are the original grades.

I'm not even going to play. I can't get past how utterly jealous I am right now
Always ready to display my ignorance!
1: Upgrade to MS-63 PL
2: Upgrade to MS-63 PL
3: Upgrade to MS-62+ PL
4: Stayed the same
5: Stayed the same
6: Stayed the same
Rational: An MS-62 should be a pretty beat up coin....and none of your 62's qualify! My difficulty is determining which only got the "+".
Exact opposite of Tommy!

No rational.
bob:)
i wanted to give #4 a plus also, but #6 won...REALLY NICE MORGANS!
The battle lines have been drawn!
Maybe after a few more guesses, there will be consensus that they all should have upgraded
Once I'm proven completely wrong, I'll just blame your pictures anyway. You can't win.
LOL, I actually did this not on purpose but it's what I did see! Funny how we see things differently....no two collectors are alike, that's for sure!

Without looking at what anyone else has said, I'll go that #3 and #4 got the full point, and #2 got the +.
I like 6 a lot....sweet coin...64+ and would be quite a score if they 65'd it. 4 is not bad. And I'm ok with 1.....upgrades for 1,4,6.
Don't really see 2,3,5 as upgrades. But I like 5 the best of those 3 that I'm guessing didn't upgrade.
I will post all of the grades later tonight.
In the mean time #1 upgraded a full point to 63 PL and #2 did not upgrade.
@TommyType You at least got one correct so far.
1,4,6 all upgrade

There were three other coins on the submission that didn't upgrade.
I really only had hopes for the 92-CC getting upgraded, but I wanted to get Trueviews and new plastic, so in they all went.
The 90-CC has a pretty good size mark on the cheek and the 93-CC has a pretty crappy strike.
Coin #7 1890-CC Tailbar 63 PL
Coin #8 1892-CC 64 PL
Coin #9 1893-CC 62 PL
4 and 6 updated and 5 plus. Wild guess for sure.

Well several of you got 2 of 3 coins correct, for which ones upgraded.
*** edit I put the rest of the message in a "spoiler" in case any other's what to guess.
I think @3keepSECRETif2rDEAD might have been the closest with #1 and #3 being exactly correct.
It also seems that the consensus for coin #6, should have upgraded by a least a +, but did not.
That was the one that I also thought should have at least +, or a shot at 65.
The ones that upgraded were:
Coin #1 1895-S 62 PL to 63 PL
Coin #3 1904-S 62 PL to 63 PL
Coin #4 1879-CC Capped Die 63 PL to 63+ PL
Thanks for those that guessed and the nice comments.
1 full
2 full
3 half
rest stayed.
Those are beautiful CC Morgans... I really like number 6.....Excellent coins in a great series.... Some of those would upgrade my set.....Cheers, RickO
Insanely nice Morgans there!

I'm going to claim "Victory!" for identifying 2 of the 3 upgrades. I can now hold my head high....until I totally muff the next GTG.
I think this guy agrees with you.

Coin #3 1904-S 62 PL --- MS63PL.
Coin #5 1891-O 64 PL --- MS65PL.
Coin #6 1879-CC 64 --- MS64+.
I think 1 and 4 should have went up 1 pt. and # 6 got the +, now I will look at the correct answers.
