GTG: Texas Pawn Shop Score

I was in Texas for the last few days for work and found a pawn shop with tons of coins priced very reasonably (except for the coppers, those prices were crazy). A nice old lady and her smokin hot daughter were running the place. I looked around for a bit but didn't see a whole lot that I couldn't live without until i came across a box of MS Morgan dollars that they were asking $30 each for. These were all pretty low MS and were all commons, but for $30 each, I figured I'd buy a few of them. I asked if they would take $25 each if i bought twenty pieces and they happily accepted my offer. I ended up buying twenty two pieces since that was all of the cash that I had on hand and they wouldn't accept plastic. These are three of what I bought; the first is the nicest in the bunch and the other two are pretty typical of the rest of the lot. Some of them need a dip, but are otherwise nice...especially at $25 each. I plan to send them a bank transfer for a couple of rolls, but she had about ten rolls and another hundred or so loose pieces stacked up in a box. I stop at pawn shops and coin shop whenever I take a trip but seldom ever come across a deal like this. These are raw, but I grade them MS-65, MS-64 (but needs a dip), and MS-62. What do grade them as, and if any of the VAM guys care to take a stab at identifying them, I'd appreciate it.

Nice scores! dont dip please!

 

double check that 1883 0... I forget which vam but it looks like a rpm variety.

 

Nice score!!

Based on the images, I think they are:

65 shot 66
65
63

 

Great looking dollars !

 

Wish I lived in Texas!

Well, maybe not anywhere near Houston...

 

64,64,63

 

You shoulda dropped a couple of those off here in B. R. on your way home, @Kirkuleez . I'm no expert, but I do know those are beauts.

 

It is very hard to grade by photos. Especially with tone.

That first 85 O might be a 58.

 

I promise not to overdip, but some have fingerprints and are just dusty from being left in an open box. It shouldn't change anything, but it will help preserve them.

 

Nah, it's just a strike weakness throwing you off, the luster is unbroken in hand.

 

Alright, post the results on here!

 

Acetone bath, not a dip!

 

Nice catch!

 

I can help you with this.

Just to lock it in

 

wait, I was just saying what grade they are not what PCGS graded them. I didn realize this was a GTG, but I'm probally right any way so lock me in

 

I need a few more Morgans.

 

I'll bring my haul up to you to pick through when I get in the rolls in if you like, I've always enjoyed meeting other CT members. I should have them some time next week and will be in BR in about three weeks.

 

They're raw now and will most likely stay that way. I was just getting grading opinions for the fun of it. I don't disagree with your assessment even though it's a little lower than mine on two of them, but I have the coins in hand. There's no right or wrong in grading, it is afterall, just an opinion. Even PCGS and NGC disagrees with each other (and themselves) all of the time.
