I will guess 64 no bands on the Merc. Don't know Morgan's.
Yeah, blown up, the middle band looks 'iffy' for a full split..But, maybe with X-5, it'll fly?

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
I go Merc, MS64, No FB
1886, MS64
1898-O, MS64
1902-O Machine Damage
I hope I am terribly wrong or it will be a total waste of a 4 coin voucher. Since those are regular service, I usually try and send in coins that are worth more than $50 to $150.
I'll root for you and against me.
Dime-No idea
86-MS64+
98-O-MS63
02-O-MS63
1902-O Machine Damage
See scuffs, no machine damage. Weakly struck above ear and breast feathers. Still should 65 IMO.
Where are you seeing machine damage on the 1902-O?
I don't see anything but normal hits either.
1945-S Micro S-MS65 (no FB)
1886 Morgan- MS65
1898-O Morgan- MS65
1902-O Morgan- MS64
Looks like counting machine damage to me. I would not have sent it in anyway. If a common date morgan will not at least go 65, you are wasting your money. You can buy 64's already in the holder for 70 bucks, and they are guaranteed to grade!!! How much were the raw coins? If they are $40 bucks, you are underwater forever if they do not go 65.
I am used to seeing machine damage on some of the many Redfield's I own. Hope I am wrong.
I had been sitting on these Morgan's for a few months now, wanting to get them graded. I just don't like having a dealer submit them for me. I'd rather be able to track my submission and not wait around wondering what is going on.
merc- no idea. maybe 63
1886 $ - 64 cool die clash
1898 o - 64
1902 o - 63
Your pictures do show hits/hairlines well. However, its hard to asses the luster of the coins in the pictures. IMO, luster is pretty important to a coins grade. Its nice to see the luster roll across the fields.
Best of luck.
We all think our coins are a grade better than they are. Uncanny on how accurate that is. Especially when we first start submitting.
Your images seem overexposed and difficult to judge original luster. That is the only thing that will get these coins in 65 and above.
If you ask for opinions, be prepared to have thick skin. I tend to aim low since I can't fully judge the overall feel (Luster and eye appeal) of the coin in an image. It is human nature to use the best image of your coins also. So if you think 65, my money is on a 64. Now prove me wrong! I love it when I am since that means someone beat the game.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
1) It is impossible to grade those coins from those pictures, because of the way the photos were shot.
2) I do not see any machine damage on the 1902-O from the picture provide, so I bet it will grade just fine (not guessing a grade).
3) To those of you who are hammering the OP about whether or not they grade 65 or better, being under water and blah blah blah, it is not always about the money. Can't someone simply enjoy the hobby for what it is?
Good luck on the grades, I hope they all grade at or above your guesses.

I am just excited to get my first submissions to PCGS. The anticipation is exciting and almost unbearable. I will be posting the grades as soon as I find out.

Where do you see the counting machine damage - on one of the eagle's legs?

Again, there is no counting machine damage.
I do believe the Merc will go FB...Again, very attractive coins, so much nicer with no tarnish.
Cheers, RickO

My guesses
1945-S Micro S-MS65 (no FB)
1886 Morgan- MS65
1898-O Morgan- MS65
1902-O Morgan- MS64
My guesstimates were almost perfect! Are you happy with the grades? The bands on the merc are close but PCGS is pretty picky about giving out FB.

cool coins and thanks for the closure!
images and presentation, i give ya 90%. the color is not good for these beauties, the merc is kind of the exception; darn 99% fb mercs. captures the good luster and the friction that held back the grade.
i do poorly with unc merc imaging. embarrassingly so. toners, not so bad. blazing uncs, yikes. lol
getting ms65 morgans is a pretty good level to play at.
