Carson Morgans

CC morgans of ANY CONDITION are not worth anything close to melt, they are exponentially higher. They are in a plaque I think they are UNC in a GSA holder.

Aside from NGC, ANACS also grades and attributes any VAM, with a Label on the GSA Holder

 

If you want full value out of the GSA, I would not send the to ANACS, I'd stick with NGC or PCGS.

 

$5?? Average Morgan Dollars like 1921, sell for >$20-$22 EACH!

Good deal! Carson City (any date) are getting rare. Especially in high grades some dates can be worth hundreds $$$ depending on the condition.

 

Contrary to your claims, CC Morgans of "any date" are not "getting rare". The coins are very popular, yes, but obtaining a generic CC example from circ to MS long has and long will be a near effortless exercise.

 

The point of my post was to emphasize that ANACS would attribute ANY VAM in a GSA Holder (that is recognized on VAMworld). PCGS and NGC only attribute the Major VAMs (Hit List 40; Top 50; Top 100). The VAM enthusiast looking for the "Minor" variety in a PCGS/NGC Graded GSA Holder would have to buy the coin on a hunch--if not advertised as such--and hope that what might look like clashing, etc. on photos turns out to be a recognised Variety.

 

Understand. As I'm not into the minor VAM's, I wouldn't care about it, but I know others do indeed care.

 

Not sure how well these pics are as I dont have the best of cameras. Not exactly sure what VAMs there are, but the back of the 1880cc has a big V through the eagle on the back.. also some scratches are from the gsa holder and not on the coin.

 

Iceman, I'd have to say MS60 or 61.

 

Either NGC or PCGS will set you back $20 a coin for grading then another $15 plus for attribution. If you are an ANA member, you can submit to NGC through them.

I would take advantage of the ICG $10 a coin grading special and they usually do attribution for free especially if significant, grader Randy Campbell wrote books on Morgans. The holders are a little chintzy but they will be a lot more marketable than raw.

 

MessyDesk (on the PCGS and NGC forums) offers variety attribution for $5 or so. I would check with him before shelling out money to grading services.

Or you could always use VAM world and try to figure out the VAM yourself.

 

This used to be the case, but PCGS jumped into the game realizing they're losing all that profit potential by refusing to grade through GSA plastic "on principle"

as seen here ... I don't know the exact date they started, though, it is recent since that example obviously has the newer gradient label

 

I don't like the fact PCGS puts them in another clear holder. Once graded, it will no longer fit in the OGP.

 

I agree!

Sorry for your loss. You came to the right place for help/knowledge and I am glad you kept your pieces.The thieves at the gold places are just trying to rob you a little bit as all CC material is pretty high demand/priced stuff.Don't give it away and please post photos here so we can drool,I'll get out my bib now.....

 

Also, that Oversize PCGS Holder will cost you $20 on top of all the other fees.

 

we had a we buy gold shop here that was like that. They said they didnt even like coins melted everything there buy prices were 700 under spot for gold and 12 under for silver. They even conned people into giving them gold for free. They would not test any jewelry in front of the customer they said to dangerous do to the acid being used which is total BS. Then they would say that the jewelry was fake and had a high lead content and should not be worn and they could dispose of it safely. One guy said ill sell my stuff on ebay they the girl said that it would take him 5-8 hrs just to do 1 listing and that that time doesnt include taking a photo. The good thing they left in the night so there gone now

 

ANACS will also certify the coins in the original GSA holder. They use a sticker method similar to NGC so theirs will also fit back into the original government boxes.

 

Honestly I'd either get them graded by ngc or pcgs or leave them raw in their gsa holders. The 1880 baggy a 61-2 but a bit better date. Personally I'd go with ngc as their a bit cheaper and more consistent and they've been doing gsa morgans in the package longer. Honestly anything other then ngc or pcgs your wasting your money as most people consider the coins the same as raw. Anacs ok but people don't pay the same money
