Lower. That isn't always the case, but it's not overly rare to resubmit those older slabs and get a grade bump. That is why people make a big deal about old "rattler" slabs. They tend to bump up more often than newer slabs. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   06-08-2009, 09:36 PM   #19 (permalink) ryanbrooks US Coin Collector     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Albuquerque Posts: 2,393 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by CamaroDMD Lower.

If some of you haven't already noticed, it also has a retained wire strike thru at about 9 o'clock on the obverse, which makes this a really interesting piece.   06-10-2009, 02:14 PM   #20 (permalink) Buffalo Bill Junior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 13 Pm sent   Page 2 of 2 < 1 2 Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
