    I’ll guess 65 and 66 but I could see the first in a 66 holder as well to be honest.

    Lovely coins, well done. :smile:

    Nice coins and really nice photos. Did you shoot these?

    I'm going with 66 and 66+. The reverses are knockouts!

  • ParadisefoundParadisefound Posts: 8,588 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Congrats on your beautiful additions ...... I agree with @BryceM 66 & 66+ :)

  • StupidStupid Posts: 559 ✭✭✭

    Gorgeous dollars! I would guess 67 for both, with the 79-s maybe earning a plus.

  • USMarine6USMarine6 Posts: 1,952 ✭✭✭✭✭

    65+ 66

  • ike126ike126 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭✭✭

    66+ and 67

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree with the 66's.... Nice reverse detail on both coins... Cheers, RickO

    Not my photos but I agree they are excellent. I only wish I could take photos like this.

    Great Morgans!

    I'll guess 65 for both.

    65 and 66.

    The 80-s has quite a bit of cheek and neck chatter that I gave it an eye appeal and color bump from 64+ to 65. The 79-s is very sweet.

    @DMWest Both coins are really Beautiful Morgan Dollars! 😁👍

    I love the Aqua Blue/Green obverse toning on the 1880-S that looks like old NGC Holder toning, and the 1879-S Rim Toning that reminds me of old ANACS Holder toning.

    My grade guesses are:

    1879-S MS-66
    1880-S MS-65

    @MFeld Based on the👇following, maybe I should consider becoming a Professional Grader!! 😉👍

    Although I did guess wrong on the TPGS Grading Companies. 🤣 LOL

    Nice coins. I don't understand the gold sticker on the 80-S though; it looks like a nice 65 but I don't think it is undergraded.

    The 1880-S looks under-graded to me. - I think six of us graded it 66 or better.

    I know. The chatter on the neck and cheek stuck out to me and would bother me at higher grade levels especially for a "B" or "A" quality coin. It's the location and severity at the neck as opposed to the number of hits. I'm a weirdo I know. :)

    I over-graded the other coin, so I guess I’m a weirdo, too.😉

    I think the 79-s is easily a 67. It is in an older NGC holder, but the coin just pops.
