Had a busy buying week. Bought 2 1878P raw long nock Morgans, but haven't received them yet. Not many possible VAMS in that shallow of a pool with 7 TF. Pretty certain I nailed both of those. But that will be a thread for later. Pilfered this one tonight. GTG. Not a poll, never did one before. 1901S I already have this coin in PCGS AU53. I saw this one and had to have it. What say ye?
very very nice and not easy on the wallet either in MS and this one IS MS I see no rub or wear in these pics but there are a fair number of bag dings I would call her 62/63 by todays standards but in that slab with those dings I would say the label reads MS60
I'll just say that one is getting cracked out. Let the professional guessing begin. PCGS graded this one I sent in last year. They gave this AU53.This was my benchmark.
I can't say for sure on the first coin just can't see it good enough. The second I can see at 53, but the first coin - nope. I can't tell if it 58 or what higher. I think the first coin should be between 58 to 63 depending on hits, luster a touch of wear any place on the coin.
I am at AU58 also, maybe a MS60. In that era MS61-MS63 was still quite baggy, and the coin was full of luster. Dull luster could get you into the MS grades, to no benefit of your pocketbook though at MS60. AU58 would be the sweet spot for this coin IMO.
I''ll give it till tomorrow to post the unspoilered photo. Maybe a few more will throw their guesses into the mix. It hasn't even shipped yet.
