Grade This!

Going to be adding some of my "better" coins to this thread over the coming weeks. If you have time, I would look to grade these coins.

1921 Morgan Dollar.

it never hurts to say please you know. as for grade im not too sure. there are a lot of marks (especially on the obverse) that i think might be on the holder rather then the coin but i just cant tell

 

It looks like it has been improperly cleaned. I see lots of hairlines and those gashes on Liberty's face may be interpreted as damage..............AU Details.

I agree with the AU details and cleaned.

 

I'd agree with the others, AU, possibly cleaned.

 

Agreeing that the coin has been harshly cleaned... Probaby borderlining MS-Details.

3 coins, so I will number them. I will number all for future reference, and to make it easier.


Lets start out with the nicest piece. 1834 Dime. This is my father's though. Found metal detecting. This is #1
It was very bright as most silver does coming out of the ground, but had developed tarnish as it sits in air.
I'm guessing EF-40, let's hear yours. Also, would it be worth having it slabbed by PCGS or ANACS?



1866 3 Cent Nickel. I'm guessing G-4. #2




1882 Morgan Dollar. I have no idea on this one. #3 It has NOT been cleaned.

 

#1 - AU details cleaned
#2 - G6/VG8
#3 - I would guess AU55/58, but it might make MS

 

I would have to say 1 was cleaned as well considering it was dug.. shame really as it looks like some great detail..........

 

The #1 coin was found with a detector, came out of the ground bright, as most silver coins do. The only cleaning done to it was with a soft brush under running water to knock dirt off. It has never been polished.

 

Perhaps but, that was probably all it took to give it a details grade as you can see the lines from cleaning it if I see what I think I see there...

 

What is the average value of #1?

 

Whatever an original "Fine" coin of the same date is listed for.

1921 Morgan - improperly cleaned
1834 Capped bust dime - improperly cleaned
1866 3CN - improperly cleaned
1882 Morgan - AU53/55
Lance.

 

By improperly cleaned on the capped bust dime. Do you mean by the toning, or the marks on the surface?

 

Coins #4 and #5.

#4 1958 Wheat Cent.


#5 1964 Lincoln Cent.

 

I would guess your 58 would go 64. However, your 64 is another picture of your 58!

 

The 1921 Morgan, 1834 capped bust dime and the 1866 3CN = details, improperly cleaned (it's fairly clear from the photos) and the 1882 is boarder line unc, could go AU58 or MS61, I wouldn't be surprised with either grade.
