1894 Morgan Guess The Grade

No, you whiffed on it. But is that really true, their standard doesn't say anything about blundering nitwits?

Look, yakety-yack-yack, I know how it goes. But my point is, their standards are just yardsticks classifying existing, as you said, "measurable" wear. And they're not always blundering nitwits, but when those standards lead members like you to think, "AU58s **are** more perfect than MS65's,***by the ANA standard, as it is written***," they most certainly are. "As written." Don't take them literally, didn't I tell you that? But their courses are good, they're good for learning how to spot wear. And you heard that one from an old-time member.

That only affects the grade. It doesn't make it a damaged coin ... that would take over dipping et al.

 

But that is what gets me I have seen coins in holders with rim damage so that is why I was happy. Figured mine could have easily came back with that.

What would you grade it?

 

ms63

 

So you really don’t think the hits on the rim are completely horrible?

 

I bought a house when I sold my stamp collection and not sure what I get when I sell my coins. Like you I buy the best appearing coin available, not the grade, same as I did with stamps, quality eye appeal.

 

they are not horrible unless you re bucking for an AU58. They are considered a bigger problem than bad marks on the fields.

 

ANA grading standards have very little to do with current NGC or PCGS grading standards, so there is that as well to consider.

 

Getting through the crap that came after the reveal, that is one under-graded coin (but a good deal for the owner).
