66

 

just registered with great collection, hopefully I'll be making some great deals.

 

What the heck. . . I’ll jump in at 65. Great coin @jtlee321!

 

MS65+.

 

I normally dont go try to search for GtG coins. I surprisingly found this one

I believe you made a good sound purchase

Ive patiently been waiting for juuuust the right '82S for my short set.

As mentioned your photos are much better

 

MS 65+

 

I'll say 65+
Nice coin!

 

So you guys pretty much nailed it. It's either you know what I buy or you are a lot more conservative with grade estimates then the people over at the PCGS Boards. The majority over there guessed MS-66 to 66+. In hand I would grade it at about that. It has spectacular luster, with nice concave fields. It's not a semi-PL, but it is flashy. It is very mark free for a 65. I'd say it was a victim of the grade tightening over at PCGS recently.

This one will remain in my collection for quite sometime. It will take a field trip to Jersey of course and see what JA thinks of her, LOL. All in all, I am very happy with this coin. Heritage did a great job of shipping it quickly. It only cost $121.85 shipped, that's a better price than I can find around here at the local B&M's for any MS-65 common date Morgan. I look forward to shopping more at Heritage in the future.

 

Nice. I was at 65 and thought it a strong 65. Agreed on pcgs being stricter. Ngc too lately. I have no complaints about that as long as they stay consistent which they haven’t so many times

 

I think half of you graded this already. I posted this coin in the original case!

 

Possibly, but it's also a victim of it's date/MM. Early date S mint Morgan's are famous for their strike, luster and eye appeal. Because of this, the TPGs are often tougher on these dates verses others. My guess is. this coin is a solid 66 from PCGS of it wasn't an early S date Morgan.

 

So, how consistent were we? Did we guess the same grade both times?

 

Yes, pretty consistent.

 

@jtlee321 , nice score. I think I saw that coin at the HA auction. I was a point high, but I think the coin deserves it.
