How would you rank my haul yesterday?

If you told me you paid 120 for a 78cc I would expect it to look like Billy the kid himself used it as Flint to start a bandit campsite fire, and not a possible proof with minimal wear. Also, as you can see, I already put it in a capsule, Because I know myself, but I’m going to ship it out tomorrow for grading.
As for the 28P, that’s the only coin I feel like I could’ve gotten for a better deal, but the quality is amazing. I’m just kind of upset with the toning, but I needed a 28P so why not?
Then for the cap bust, “54”….cmon now guys. It’s actually an 1824, they just can’t read, so obviously, YOINK!

The 78-CC looks like a polished fake.
I think you more or less got what you paid for. Too bad about the damage on the otherwise nice looking bust half.
Values aside, the photos flash me back to eBay search result pages.
The 1878-CC looks polished. The 1928 looks like it may have been cleaned based on what appears to be a patch of hairlines in the left obverse field. Also, it may not be genuine. Your coins are hard to evaluate with the pictures provided. If you send them in to be graded, you will probably be disappointed with the results.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

the bust half was once owned by speed racers brother !
In the future, remove coins from flips , so In focus pics can be done. Good luck. Peace Roy

I hope they're all real. "Striking the motherlode", lol.
The 78CC is polished so, if real, it will go in a details holder.
The photos of the other two aren't good enough to comment on.
I think disappointment awaits you when the coins come back from authentication & grading.
Looking forward to seeing your next haul in PCGS graded coins.
I am glad you found coins you like. I can't give grade specifics based on those pictures but if at the least you have authentic coins than you are somewhat ahead in some respects. Best of luck with you collecting. James
I have a feeling you’ll never make the mistake again buying a pile of problems after you get attacked with the upcoming grading fees for the body bags
recommend you do NOT submit to PCGS as most others are also saying. Besides the polish on the CC the 1824 has a graffiti X on the obverse and the Peace looks to have multiple scratches and marks as well.

If you're suggesting the 1878 CC is a possible proof I digress.

He’s praying his coins are real. At least he covered his nipples.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
It sounds like the seller did well.
While I am comfortable buying raw coins, I get very leery when I see 2X2’d items with “sale price” stickers or with distracting sharpie colorings and markings around the borders. I’m buying the coin not the holder.

As others have said the 78-CC is cleaned/polished. The 28P Peace is also cleaned at a minimum, and the 1824 Bust Half is VF Details due to the graffiti, but it has nice surfaces. You're not buried in them at least

I wouldn’t spend/waste my money having those problem coins graded.

I rank your haul one of your best to date. You will be happy with it until you try selling.
hope we dont hear "we got a weiner"
I wouldn't send them express or walk-through.
Just regular service. Please be sure not to under insure.

2 out of 3 is not bad but I think you were really trying to achieve the last one.

From your other posts I would say very much in line with the rest of your collection.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Why?
No offense intended but I think you should slow down some and pay more attention to problems then to what you think is a good deal. I think you got hosed on all three coins and are just helping a not so good sort of flea market dealer stay in business. Time will probably prove a disappointment in all three coins.
The kinder among us here refer to this as Tuition.
Yes, and how do you refer to it, Maywood?
You know what they say...
If you get a thrill from owning and learning about coins, that is what coin collecting is all about.
If you plan to resell, it pays to be picky on condition, because the market of buyers is normally picky on condition.
The more coins you look at, the better you'll get at seeing what potential problems a coin might have.
I hope you continue to enjoy the hobby and grow your collection.

Looks like a lot of dipped / cleaned details stuff. There is a reason they not in TPG holders.

Let me know how it goes when u shop them around the bourse.
I think most of us went through the "Tuition" phase of collecting.
I would suggest you take coins to a coin show and offer them for sale, then listen very closely to what the dealers say, ask a lot questions, then the responses your getting on this thread will make sense. For an experienced collector the problems with your coins can be spotted with a quick glance. Don't let it discourage you, just focus on learning.
