I bought 9 Morgan Dollars just today, in the raw, and they were all accurately graded and priced according to this weeks grey sheet! And, I bought them from my local dealer! I have bought many a high grade coin from him as unc's as he doesn't go into the grading game when he buys and sells raw coins. As I have said many times before the average collector is probably good up to about MS63 and after that, well, it takes a pretty trained eye and proper knowledge to start throwing those higher grades around. Many of the Morgans I now own would probably go MS63 to MS65, perhaps a few higher, but until I commit them to a leading grading service I will have to live with the uncirculated designation. I have been collecting 30 years and I am not comfortable trying to tell anyone a coins is MS65, MS66, MS68, ect.....so I take what I read on Ebay, for the most part, as an opinion of the seller, unless the coin is slabbed! And we all know how easy it is to over grade, especially when they are our own coins? I grade very conservatively, and have found it is better to be a grade low than a grade high! I have lived with that all these years and when I do sell any coins I don't hype them up with a bunch of numbers. Thats for the grading service to do! I can live with AG, G, F, VF, EF, AU and UNC. for now!
