GSA Morgans back from NGC!

@jpcienkus requested these, so here is my batch of GSA Morgans back from NGC (aside from the infamous 1878) Overall I am pretty happy with the grades, the exception being an 1884 I thought was PL.

We have talked before. For what it is worth, I missed the + but I didn't see any coin even close to PL.

 

Yes, I thought it was PL from a photo, I was wrong. People do some wonderful tricks with photos.

What does "missed the +" mean

 

Well that should soften the blow then. It looks like you won more than you lost.

 

That's life! The seller of the 1878 was actually stand up about it, so I didn't really lose much there. There are good people out there!

 

Thought it was a 65.

 

I don't think the last 85CC should get a 64+.

Chris

 

Yeah, those two were surprises. For the 85, I think a lot of the marks you see are from the planchet. For the 82, the cheek is super clean. I take horrible photos, as has been pointed out to me.

Edit: Or you guys are right, it could be "grade creep", the hotly debated issue.

 

Nicely done Sean. Are you holding on to these or do you plan to sell them?

 

Nope! Those are not planchet marks on the cheek. This coin should be a straight 64 AT BEST. I think you've got it confused with the 84CC, MS64+. Those look like marks on the planchet.

Chris

 

Thanks! I'm holding most of them until I find an upgrade, but I will probably sell the 1882 MS65 and the 1878. I would sell the other duplicates but I don't want to take too big of a hit. If there's any you're interested in PM me. If I can avoid the 13% Ebay hit I can probably give a good price.

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those are planchet marks.

I should have added your question to my answer. I agreed w/all the grades except I missed the 65+ and thought is was just a 65.

 

They are. There are more on the 64+.

 

I'm referring to the two deep, wide & parallel marks, not the thin, fine lines. It is the two wide marks that would keep it from getting a 64+.

Chris

 

nice results, congrats

 

Nice crop!!!

 

That could be true, except that's what it was graded. I do believe, however, that those marks were on the planchet before the coin was pressed. Perhaps this is what NGC also saw. This is only my opinion, and could be wrong. I do however think I got lucky with the 81.

Edit: I take that back, the fields and reverse bailed out the 81

 

Thanks guys
