I am not a Morgan collector, but I do have a couple dozen or so. This one came from one of those wood framed wall displays. It certainly has a lot less bag marks than my other MS ones. A few blazers with some real nice eye appeal, although a little baggy:
Gbroke, do you have any coins that are just "ordinary" looking? Is every single one of your coins gorgeous?
Yeah, that one is pretty fugly! Not much eye appeal there! Good date, but not an attractive specimen.
I recently purchased my first two Morgans raw from the local coin shop recently. The first one is an 1890 from the dealer's junk bin. Paid $27. I would estimate it at VF. The second one is a 1997S. I paid $59 for it and I grade it about XF+ to AU.
Looks great! :thumb: See this link::yes: http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=846359
