Morgan dollar and wear

I guess I missed the part where you mentioned wear on the reverse. Oh wait, you didn't mention that until later.

If your coin has wear it is not Mint State and should be graded AU or less.

(Other than cabinet wear) how does a coin have wear on only one side?

One of the best steaks I ever had there

 

That's what I am wondering anbd will post pics later.

 

I also suggest Bohanans when you are in town.

Nice hit for a 5-1 run.

 

Hmm does not ring a bell. It looks like it on the river walk. Must have mist it.

 

Second level above street in the theatre district. Very nice and a romantic dining destination if you have a special someone to impress.

 

No I'm married

 

Not so. One of the great numismatic criminals of our day, John J. Ford is credited with inventing the phrase "cabinet friction" to explain how a Mint State coin could have wear on one side.

Myself, I question how any coin, passed from hand to hand for decades from one coin show to the next numismatic convention to this shop and that collector and the other dealer after the heirs sell out and it comes to a convention or a show or a shop... I mean, really, is any coin Mint State after leaving the Mint?

But, the world did not come to me for advice. So, we go with John Ford and have Mint State coins with wear on one side.

 

LOL! It's never too late to impress the Misses. :smile

 

OK, here is the deal. We win tonight and you win Monday night.

 

7th inning stretch time!

 

Not looking so good for the Yanks tonight, as of this writing...

 

ra oh

 

Oh well... I was hoping the Yanks could take it to the WS for the Boss this season, but I guess an era has truly faded in the Bronx.

Good luck Tejas!

 

My wife is out of town with the camera. When she gets back I Will post some pics. I would love to have you'alls opinion. I think it should grade better, but its interesting with the slight difference between Obv. & Rev.

By the way I had a good time last night going back and forth with Krispy. I expected a slap on the hand today from Doug.

 

do u know why they are stopping at 67?

i recently saw xf coin in ms holders

 

They way I read and understood it they were refering to fine line wear/scratches horizontal on the coins obverse/reverse caused by the plastic sleeves in Dansco type albums. When the coin was not fully inserted in the hole and the plastic sleeve is slid closed scratching or wear can occur. Which PCGS still considers acceptable for MS.

 

thought it was cool they used Ginger Ale instead of Champagne out of respect from Hamilton (in recovery)

 

Lesson #1, Grasshopper!

Never start a thread which requires photos if your baseball game is more important.
