Grades posted in a lower post
I have a submission in encapsulation right now. Grades will hopefully pop here soon since it's been about a week in encapsulation.
These are most of the coins, feel free to make a grade guess what PCGS will grade them.
Sorry, the files are a little large.
I'll post results once the grades show up.

It's always nice to look at great looking coins. That 1950 half has unusually good contrast for the date. Good luck with the submission.

@ChrisH821 . I admire your coins and the breadth of your knowledge but won't embarass myself by guessing grades. James
Beautiful coins and great photos...the detail on that '59 cent is awesome. I too won't venture a grade guess but would be interested in what they do grade. Thanks for posting!

The 1921 Buffalo looks a bit stripped of luster - I sense a possible details grade but I hope I'm wrong. As mentioned, the 1950 Franklin has superior contrast to most examples of the date.

Some great coins Chris! I'll GTG for the heck of it.
1) 1952 50c - PR67
2) 1956 T2 50c - PR66CAM.
3) Iowa Commemorative - MS66
4) 1959 1c - PR67CAM
5) 1956 1c - PR67DCAM (appears as if it might be DDO FS-101, check that in hand for sure).
6) 1921 5c - MS63+
7) 1940 5c - PR66
8) 1941 5c - PR66
9) 1938 25c - PR66
10) 1950 50c - PR67
Well I have a couple of grades from an economy sub. Surprised that one posted before the regular one.
The 1956 50C: PR67CAM
The Iowa commem was graded Unc details- cleaned... that was a real surprise.

Did any of those come from me?
Yes, the cents and the 1952 and 1956 half did.

Sorry about the wait, this submission has been in quality check for a week, encapsulation was a couple weeks before that.
I have no idea what's going on with this particular submission, but my economy one went right through and is waiting for me at the post office.

Grades
Turns out the delay in releasing the grades was a $20 additional payment required.
Grades are as follows
1952 50C PR66. I guess they found the cellophane haze/toning unappealing, fair enough.
1956 50C PR67CA
1946 Iowa Unc Details- cleaned. I think there was something about the luster they didn't like, it has no hairlines.
1959 1C PR67CA
1956 1C PR67CA Was really hoping to see a DCAM on these but I won't complain
1921 5C MS64
1940 5C PR66
1941 5C PR65
Apparently I am bad at grading Proof Jefferson nickels. These are both nice, like, very nice, not sure what held them back. Maybe the splotch on the reverse of the 41, but the 40 I think should be better than 66.
1938 25C- PR67
1950 50C- PR67+ Huge! This was the cause of the $20 adjustment.
Honorable mentions not pictured above:
2X 1956 Type 1 halves- both PR68
1936 Satin 1C PR Details- Damaged. This was expected.
1929 5C MS65
1928-s $1 MS62

@ChrisH
The tone pattern on the nickels has always been a sort of "cap" that I've personally observed. No higher than 66, since there are so many attractive ones out there that get the 67 and 68 grades.
The 65 likely has some hairlines somewhere.
High end, very nice coins.
That's unfortunate because I'm 90% sure that's completely original, and they look phenomenal like this IMO.
