I think this cover my purchases in Baltimore. Feel free to give me some grades and opinions. All the grades have letters after them as a hint. All coins are PCGS. 1884-CC shame about the couple spots....but the coin has dies polish and mirrors. Mirrors: 1886-S VAM 2 S/S 1890-P 1880-S Mirrors: sorry for the out of focus on these, still working on a new technique.
Nice set, I'm gonna give this a go but keep in mind I'm not the greatest coin grader. 1880-S MS-65 1890 MS-65 1884-CC MS-66 1886-S MS-64
1. 1884 cc - ms64 dmpl 2. 1884 cc - ms66 3. 1886 s - ms64 4. 1890 - ms63 5. 1880 s - ms63 6. 1880 s - ms64 Sweet Morgans BTW. Every single oneof'em.
I think that's a perfect case study in how photography can effect the appearance of a coin. I guess the spots should have queued me in on the fact that the 84cc is the same coin, but other than that, those different photos make it look like two different coins. To wit: look at the way the bag marks behind her nose dissappear in the second photo.
I agree, I think it is a cool look but my set is imaged with the first look or the more cameo and black look. The mirror look is cool but hides a lot.
1884 CC - MS63DMPL 1886-S MS65DMPL (maybe just PL) 1890 MS64+PL 1880-S MS66PL Awesome Morgans, the '86-S Is my favorite of the bunch. I really like the obverse of the '80-S, but not too big on the toning on the reverse (still a great coin though).
Since the guesses are dried up here are the grades. 1884-CC PCGS 63DMPL 1890 PCGS 63PL 1880-S PCGS 64PL OGH 1886-S/S PCGS 64PL The 1884-CC is just amazing and will replace my current 63DMPL for that year. The 1890 I already had but turns out this one has cleaner fields and will be the keeper. The 1880-S was nice and is a VAM 12. The 1886-S/S is a tough date and a date I needed. I was happy to get one hole filled at the show.
