Here are a couple Morgan Dollars I picked up at the PNNA show yesterday. I thought I would do a guess the grade and see what you all thought of them. Any comments are alway's appreciated.
A full show report will be coming after the reveal.

Some good guesses coming in. Nobody has managed to get both correct so far. I will reveal tomorrow.
The luster on the '85-O is there, but's it's one of those that has more of a satin finish rather than a booming semi-PL look to it.
Based on that useful hint I’m revising my grades to 66PL and 66.
Ok, it's reveal time.
The 1880-S was a head scratcher as to the lack of designation. It received no DMPL or PL designation. The obverse mirrors are amazing and would fit in nicely as an emergency signal mirror for a Boy Scout kit. The rest of the coin is very acceptable in my opinion for the assigned grade. One thing that really stood out and had me on the fence choosing between this and another similar coin is the reeding hit in front of the eagles face. The other coin just did not have the mirrors this one has. So this may go in for a designation review at some point. I'm wondering if it was part of a bulk submission and the graders just went right on past it.
This second coin the 1885-O is in one of my favorite holders, the old NGC no line fatty. When I saw this one, I knew it had to be mine and the price was almost too good.
Sweet! I remember years ago when I first visited one of the b&m s, the dealer had about one hundred Ngc fatty morgans in 64,65, and a few 66. I'll never forget passing on a bag toned common date 65 because $150 seemed like a lot for a coin. (Was GS then). I had to settle for 63* that day for half the price.
Now how about a show report
