Grades back, TV's provided - a Capped Bust Half GTG exercise

My grades posted yesterday from the submission I made in OKC, and the TV's showed up sometime today.
All of these coins were sent raw. They were all straight graded and cracked out prior to being submitted.
All received the correct grades this time around (in my opinion, of course), so in that respect, I was very happy. I really like it when the grade (plus or minus a single grade level) and the holder is right, as it makes me feel like things fit correctly. In this case, I think the value increased as well, enough to make the submission worthwhile.
You can guess what they are now, and for a little bit more of a challenge, what they WERE prior.
A hint there. One went down, one stayed the same and three went up. The largest change was three grades.
The TV's on these are decent, so I'll use them for all of the coins.

The 1809 was in a previous fairly new prong PCGS holder (series 586xxxxx)
The 1826 was in a no prong NGC (3122xxx-xxx)
The 1828 was in a no prong NGC (3129xxx-xxx)
The 1830 was in a prong NGC (4704xxx-xxx)
The 1837 was in a no prong six digit NGC (684xxx-xxx)
.
I'll fill you in on the results, and what they were on Sunday (10/5) this week.

Thanks for a REALLY challenging GTG. You have some excellent looking coins. Great looking fields. Top eye appeal. The die cracks on the 37 are quite interesting as already mentioned. Here goes:

Very challenging! I'm going to do this in a little different way, since I think my grades will not mirror PCGS's. I'll grade them how I think they should grade, and how I think PCGS will grade.
For context, I know PCGS has been trending tight at the current moment.
1809:
My grade: AU53.
PCGS estimate: AU55.
1826:
My grade: AU58. Very tough coin to grade.
PCGS estimate: MS62. Wild guess on this, I feel it could go either way. The reverse is all there IMO.
1828:
My grade: AU55+. Nice for the grade IMO.
PCGS estimate: AU55.
1830:
My grade: AU55. Beautiful color, which I gave a bump to. IMO, wear trends towards 53 but overall look is that of 55.
PCGS estimate: AU53.
1837:
My grade: MS63. I think this one might have jumped from 58.
PCGS estimate: MS63.
