Since I don't buy many high end raw coins, I've decided to pick coins to try to regrade with my free grading certificates. All will go in in their current PCGS holders.
1857 FE (SL) Cent MS64 (Very clean, nice but not booming luster)
1893 Indian PR64RD (I don't see what holds this to 64)
1862 Half Dime MS63 (Nice toning, semi-prooflike, low marks)
1875-S Twenty Cent Piece MS63 (Nice color... most of these look like dogs in 63 holders... this is not)
1838 Reeded Edge Bust Half AU58 (Great luster, pure MS reverse, I've seen much greater rub in 63 holders)
1799 Draped Bust Dollar VF25 (Nice for a 25 with original surfaces... even a 30 would be a nice bump)
1977 Ike MS65 (Very Clean, satiny, lacks the typical left over planchet marks)

1875-S Twenty Cent Piece MS63 20% (This looks like S over S....one vertically higher than the other.... kind of a large rectangular blob with the top right and bottom left serifs clearly visible, and minor indents on the upper right side and lower left side.
If I get the PR Indian, the FE, Bust Half or Twenty Center, it will be very worth while!
There is an eight coin going, but I am shooting for a downgrade. If it downgrades, it can be nice for the grade I I should be reimbursed several hundred dollars. If it stays the same it will be low end for the grade.
