    I bid on this as an intended upgrade. Here is my other one.

    Uncirculated Morgans in that mint and year are hard to come by. With every grade up, the price grows astronomically. That's not a bad one, aside from a damaged rim, but I believe you upgraded several notches.

    This coin looks so much better in hand than the auction photos show. I took these photos with my phone.

    Finally found an 1899 Morgan that hasn't been cleaned! It's got some issues for certain, but still a decent-enough coin that shouldn't necessarily need to be upgraded down the line. 20241108_164641.jpg 20241108_164706.jpg

    I just completed my mini Morgan Silver Dollar collection of ALL key dates and ALL Carson City business releases in circulated (a few VERY circulated) grades. The 1893-S pic'd here was my final piece, purchased from my local brick front PNG dealer. I bit the bullet and traded (sold) an 80's 1 oz gold bullion piece + cash to fill the last hole in my Morgan collection. My limited budget forced me to lower grades for the 1893 S Poor/Fair/Good range and it was very difficult, over a long search period and loosing two auctions by seconds to find something somewhat attractive with a compromise for some detail (some Fair and below were practically flat and detail-less) despite being CAC sticker'd and compromising on something that may not have been ridiculously cleaned. A leading FAIR contender was almost worn flat, detail and date faint-at-best but original surface and more expensive due to a CAC. If I was gonna pay THIS much for a coin I compromised for detail and some possible past cleaning. 1D1893SG4ICGo.JPG 1D1893SG4ICGr.JPG

    Thanks. It’s one of the better looking 79-O’s I’ve seen in a soapbox.
