Results of a 1/5 submission posted Friday. All my coins graded which has not been the case for a while. All were bought raw.
Real clean for a 62. Has some "cabinet friction" on the front of the face that warrants the grade.
Cool crusty 2 sided toner, ms63. 
Nice obverse toner that hits if you tilt it. Pretty much covered in pinkish rose except at the rims which are greenish. 64
Thought it had a good shot at 65 but the obverse strike must have been a bit weak as they are commonly found. Roll fresh luster. 64
First one of these, cool that you can get 150 year old raw coins which will respectably straight grade. Ms63
MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

Nice! I think the Buff could have going higher. I also like your image of the 1925!
Like the nickels! Great job!
What is going on with the date on the 1867?
The '24 is to die for!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
They are all very nice looking coins clarkbar04, good eye on all of them. Congrats on the straight grades.
There's a gaggle of repunched and misplaced dates in 1867 but I didn't bother with the attribution, since it's only for type.
I'd buy that 34 in 62 all day long. Nice coins!
That 1929 has a lot to like. 65 type luster for sure. 65 Type Stike, at least in my book. I suppose one could say there are some technical detractors: a weaker central obverse stike, a larger hit in the Buffalo Maine, a few spots. Still, that reverse strike is great for the date, and would carry a lot of weight in my opinion to lean towards a 65.

Wow! Great looking coins! Love those peace dollars.
The reverse of that Buff is really nice... too bad about the obverse.... Cheers, RickO

Looks to me like you have a good eye and did a great job choosing those raw!
Nice coins, well done.

Let’s take a look at some a your coins. They might need some fluffing
Hey are you by chance in PGH area? And just because your coin makes me want to vomit is no excuse to resort to name calling. lol
On just the subject of color/white coins - first consider the issue. Is it rare? If not, try to leave the color be, and move the coin at auction. Reds and greens are very desirable. Also, the Peace series does not often come with these colors. I understand that white coins are the norm and sell: I do see that aspect of your viewpoint.
Clarkbar, thank you for sharing submission results. None of us ever know what to expect with a submission.
All of the coins you posted are very interesting and indicate to me that you have great taste in coins. And sometimes great taste does not grade as well as we hoped. I have been actively considering downgrading my registry set to be my favorites and not just the most highly graded coins. To me not much difference between #4 and #5, but i will definitely be more impressed by my digital album.

I think that is a great way to go. I like eye appeal over grade. I have a couple of MS62s in my collection that I feel would be tough to upgrade. Here are a couple.
