1885-CC - Yes
1880-S - No - Very common date, too many roller marks and marks in general.
1900-S - Yes - I changed this because of a mix up.
1890-S - No - Too much clatter in the fields.
1886-S - No - The fields look cloudy
1893-P - Yes - Really nice MS-64.

I've never tried CAC. Lucky for you guys cause I should have posted five coins that DID NOT make it and ask which ones did. Then sit back and watched the fun.
I'll pick the 85-CC, 1900-S, and 1893 received the bean.
EDIT: Just noticed the 85-CC is graded PL. While it is a 65, I don't know if it is "PL enough."

Does it have to be PL enough? Doesn't JA overlook the mirror designation?

Since there are no 1893 Gold CAC coins in the pop report, it might be tough to win this one!
Yes, I could research the dates pop reports a bit before answering, but I have been purposly not looking, and going with my call. When i dont look, I miss things like this, and also unless I know them, dates that have low pop tops.
The lines at a 45 degree angle on the cheek, which you can only see if you get really close to your computer because the image is over exposed, appear to be roller lines from when the coin was made at the mint. I don't know CAC would feel about that, even though they don't affect the coin's grade.

I think all but one passed. I don't think the 1880-S passed, based on the images, too much chatter and possibly the reverse was not deep enough.
This would be my guess too. I think the others all look like at least B coins for the grade.

You are correct. I mixed up the DPL with the 1881-S. I

All of them. If John called the 1893 PVC, I would not be surprised but I hope not.
The 1893 looks clean enough to be a 65, yet was only graded 64+. It seems to have a fuzzy and sanitized look to the color and luster. If that's netted to 64+ due to something not quite right, that's a reason to not get the CAC, even if no + sign. Just a guess. It sure is clean for a 64.
Thanks to all who participated in this post and a shout out to Todd Pollock of BluCCPhotos who provided the photos.
When I submitted these coins to CAC, I felt that all were average or above average for the grade and that several were a lock to pass.
1885-CC MS 65 PL--No
1880-S MS 65 DMPL--Yes
1900-S MS 65--No
1890-S MS 65--No
1886-S MS 64+--Yes
1893 MS 64--Yes
I was surprised by the results of the 1885-CC, 1880-S, and the 1900-S. The 1885-CC is a lovely coin with great contrast between the devices and fields. I talked with John Albanese about this coin and he felt that someone had intentionally damaged the coin on the obverse above the second star next to the right of 1885. This is still one of my favorite coins in my collection. The 1880-S passed, but it has average mirrors and too many dings for me. The 1900-S has few marks and a satiny finish and I felt sure this was a lock to pass. John felt this coin needed more luster to pass.
It tough to judge based on a photo, also the results make a strong argument to submit every coin because you will end up with more that passed and not the ones that you expected.

Correct, but the 1900-S has no designation
Just the 1900-s

The pics are confusing, because the grade is below the date and makes it appear like the grade belongs to the coin pictured below it.
Ditto...

I agree with @jtlee321. I think all but the 80-S passed.
Very nice group!

Heck if I know, I've never used CAC or bought one of their coins.
When do we get the answer, I want to see how badly I guessed.
