Will they get a bean in your opinion?
I am hoping for a gold bean on the 1903. It is immaculate.
The 1900-O is really clean also a gold bean is 50/50 in my opinion.
I purchased these from a collector who didnt know what cac is so I know they have not been submitted.
I will post results once received.

    I'll guess green on both. Purely a guess. They look good!

    Both are nice coins, I think both would merit a green!

    Green bean; MS64 gold would be a major leap, there was no doubt something hindering it from the gem grade originally. Gem to MS66, another leap, not so large but unlikely to get the gold; not enough of a "wow" factor.

    Both would get a green, a slight chance on the 1903 to get gold

    While both coins look nice I can’t ascertain anything from those pics.

    Many happy BST transactions

    I understand what you are saying. I would take better images but they are submitted.
    They are super clean though. Very few hits and no hairlines.
    It will be interesting to see.
    Some of these OGH's were very conservatively graded. I think this pair falls under that category.
    I can honestly say these are two of the nicest Morgans I have bought in an OGH.
    Ill post images once I get them back.

    I like them both, and both look clean and well graded.
    I'm excited for you, and can't wait to hear the results.
    However, all b/c they are in older slabs doesn't guarantee a bean, and only based on scans above my gut says neither gets a bean, I hope I'm dead wrong.

    Best of luck, looking forward to your results. For the record I see a green and a red sticker.

    Hard to determine from the pics but I'll guess the 03 gets a Green and the 00-O doesn't bean.
    Please let us know.

    Just curious why you see a red sticker. I want to learn what I dont know.

    What do you mean when you say not enough of a "wow" factor?
    I am not disagreeing with you. I just want to see what you see. To me the 1900-O is super frosty especially around the devices. You can see it in the image around Liberties head. It also has no hits just a few grazes. The cheeks is smooth and clean.

    As others pointed out images are hard to make this judgment from.

    Is there a scratch or slide marks on the reverse of the '03. On left wing.
    Would that matter?

    Definetly not. I carefully looked these over for problems. There are none.
    These two Morgans are beautiful.

    The white areas, above the cap, in front of the mouth/nose, on the rev wreath and across the breast. These may be nothing, may just be lighting reflections, or may be something, often if JA spots something like PVC he will use a round red sticker with PVC or whatever is applicable. I hope I'm wrong, and I likely am, but those concern me from the photos.

    @coinbuf I think that frost is beautiful. Its one of the reasons I bought the coin.
