Chance of a straight grade with the smudged obverse?

Got this 1881 Carson City but has some terrible fingerprints on the obverse as well as what I believe to be a die crack on the reverse. Purchased this locally and had the seller meet me at the LCS to scan it on their sigma before buying it so before you waste your time claiming it’s fake, it’s not. I just wanted to see opinions on whether or not It would come back straight graded

1884 Carson City Morgan

Hello everyone, I’m new to coins and wondering if this is worth getting graded or not. Seems to be in very nice condition compared to the other two I have. What do you all think it’ll grade?
Thank you in advance!

1854 Seated Liberty S$1 grade/value?

Hello; I was wondering what everyone thinks this would grade and its value. I have a pretty strong offer from someone to buy it raw and just want to make sure it’s a fair offer. It had been in a very scratched up asa-accugrade holder as a straight XF-45. Thanks in advance!

Looking for second opinions! Grading and "details"

Hello! I'm looking to submit a few coins for the first time to NGC, but I'm on the fence about a few, as I'm slightly concerned they may get details grades. All three of these are copper coins in the MS range as far as I can tell, but a few may have problem spots, so I wanted to ask you all if you think there will be an issue.

1.) East India Company 1835 1/12 Anna - really nice and reddish brown, pretty sharp details, but I'm concerned that some miniscule wear on the rims could be an issue.

2.) New Zealand 1940 Halfpenny - same thing, very nice reddish brown, sharp details, but there is a small scuff (bag mark?) to the bottom right of the bust, which I could forsee being an issue.

3.) Sailana State 1/4 Anna - Honestly least concerned about this one, really nice coin, but I figured I would include it just for more opinions.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! :)

1963 Washington Quarter

I know this isn’t worth physically grading. I do want to learn how to ballpark grade things myself though, thank you. Has some luster to it.

1976 Bicentennial Quarter No Mint Mark

I don’t know much about coin collecting, but I’m told missing the little D is good?

1893-S Morgan Dollar found in father's collection in Chile - Need authentication help

Hello everyone,

I recently found this 1893-S Morgan Dollar in my late father's collection here in Chile, South America. He never told me how he obtained it and I am trying to determine if it could be authentic before sending it for professional PCGS/NGC grading.

I know the 1893-S is the key date of the Morgan series with only 100,000 minted, and I also know counterfeits are extremely common. That's exactly why I'm here first.

What concerns me and what I'd love expert opinions on:
- The coin appears in very high grade (almost uncirculated), which I know is extraordinarily rare for a genuine 1893-S
- The "S" mintmark is visible above "DO" in DOLLAR — does it look punched in or added?
- Any other red flags or positive signs you can spot from the photos?

I am not trying to sell anything — just trying to understand what I have before spending money on international shipping for certification from South America.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Question from a newbie.

I found in my change 3 modern Washington quarters.
Two have George facing to the right : but one has him facing left!
I've never paid attention to this until today.

Is this normal?

Thanks

US 1851 One Cent

Nicest specimen I've seen in person. Circulated, sure, but I am grateful for any insight. Thanks!
