Grades for Morgan dollars.

I think this thread has lost any resemblance to a good thread in the last pages, so lets quit with the childish insults and remarks. Think before you reply, I seriously doubt many of you would push into someone face and make such remarks. Thanks , 40,000 members appreciate it. Jim

THank you for your intelligent remarks. I will think of something else that is less damaging> Just my opinion. I am sensitive to the grading process.

 

It looks MS-67+ to MS-68 to me...

Comparing this coin to an MS-69 ASE, the grade seems off.

Or, am I not allowed to compare a modern with a classic? lol

Grades are supposed to be standardized, right?

Maybe PL strikes are given a little more leeway with marks just as on proof strikes (?).

Pics from the 'net.







When comparing Morgans, PCGS gave this one an MS-68 PL:

 

This has been a wild ride, reading from the beginning.. It's a beautiful coin, with tiny faults, clearly seen in the videos. Those are apparently not visible on 80" screens. I have learned a lot from the links to the VAM Forum, and others. I'm not interested in idle banter, or trashing TPG's, that have advanced the hobby in so many ways. Clearly, to me, this should be the last post on the subject, because no one who wants to learn has been disappointed, and no one who can't learn will be satisfied. As the Newsies say, "Let's put it to bed."

 

Are you the buyer or seller of this coin? It almost reads now like both have spoken in this thread.

 

They were made a 100 years apart.....

 

Oh, I guess I didn't read the part in the grading information where the year of a coin was actually considered. Just in case I overlooked that fine print;

comparing this coin to the 1880S MS68 PL shown on this page, the MS67 to the left of it in Photograde, and any other MS68 or MS69 coin in a credible slab, the grade is off.

 

There is a reason birds don't generally fly upside-down and it has to with fouled feathers not being suitable to flight.

 

Won't even pretend to be surprised that you don't know different series are graded differently. You would learn that in a grading a class which you clearly need

 

I really don't "need" any such thing and my momma didn't raise an extraordinary fool.

Not related to this thread at all unless by an incredible stretch of imagination or vision.

 

I realize you were just making a bad joke, but no.
Birds don't fly upside down for the same reason any organism in the wild doesn't . To prevent being killed by a predator or gravity assisted sudden stop. If you were to be thrown off of a tall building , you would fight to put your appendages between you and the ground, even though either way, you will probably be dead at the end. It is the same for cats, insects, amphibians, reptiles, any organism with vision. The brain and the associated sense receptors, with otoliths in skin bladders of fish to otoliths in human ears try to prevents upside-down orientation of the organism.

 

You should see what the startled egrets leave on the creek bank and then tell me they could fly with that mess in their feathers. ;-)
