My re-grade submission (round #2) - 50 Morgans mostly DMPL

So I sent off another "secure" submission to be re-graded "regular service level".
They were booked in on 01/16/2017 and shipped 02/03/2017 - 15 business days, thanks PCGS

Most of these coins were purchased between 2004/2009.
28 coins were being submitted by me for the first time since I have owned them.
Of the 28, 4 upgraded by a + and 4 upgraded by a full point.
Out this group of 28, I knew that several wouldn't upgrade, but i just what get photos and a new holder that wasn't all scratched up.

The remaining 22 coins were previously submitted by me sometime during the last year, but I thought they still had upgrade potential so I submitted them again.
Of the 22, 7 upgraded by a + and 1 upgraded by a full point. Most of these upgrades were on the PL coins that I included on this submission. Still no upgrades in designation from PL to DMPL, but mixed in with DMPL's they must have stuck out as having excellent eye appeal and high end for the assigned grade.

The full point upgrades were:
1891-cc 62 DMPL to 63 DMPL
1896 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL (line#12)
1880 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL
1899 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL
1880/79-s 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL

Three coins are missing their Trueviews, so I shot off an email to see if they exist.
Shout out to Phil's group, they do excellent work! That's one of the main reasons I sent these off to be re-graded was to get decent photos.

    Nice grouping of Morgans. Line 12 appears to have made up for the whole submission. I have never played the regrade submission game...one of these days...maybe.

    So all 50 were in secure holders before the regrade?

    The coin with the biggest change based on PCGS price guide was line# 27
    1880 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL ($1600 to $5250)

    The 1896 on line# 12 went from 64 DMPL to 65 DMPL

    I had another 1896 on the submission that I thought would at least get a +
    It stayed the same at 65 DMPL

    The group of 28 were not in a secure holder.
    The other 22 were already in a secure holder.

    I assume they go through the sniffer, not sure if they re-sniff the 22 that were already in the secure holder

    Sweet set of coins, Holy Cow! Nice on the 1880! Looks right to me!

    @Wabbit2313

    Had a few OGH's on the submission... None upgraded.
    Thought these two had a chance, both 65 DMPL

    Drooling!

    The more you VAM..

    Don't get me started on those darn OGH DMPL coins. While I do have some nice ones, I also have and had some that would not even be PL today.

    I did just make an 1885 MS-66 in DM. I thought it had a shot at 66+, and CAC also liked it.

    Wow! Seems like quite a percentage received at least the + designation.

    Nice job, getting any 66 DMPL is quite an accomplishment.

    For as few coins they give out + grades to, I'm happy that I got them.
    I would have liked to have got a few more full point upgrades.
    The 1878 rev of 79, 1891-o and 1900-s are all pop 1 in their plus grades. Although there are many still graded higher.
