Remember these are just the grades ^ Values will be alot higher on some of them if they are real

 

Both of these are around 35-40 IMO. see the different cleaning styles implemented on the two? It's pretty evident someone experimented with cleaning this whole set

 

93S- past cleaning. Probably a VF20 or thereabouts Get it graded as this is a key date.

93CC- obviously harshly cleaned- 30-35 details but the cleaning is so harsh I may have been too generous. Definitely worth sending in though IMO.

Get yourself a Redbook so you can at least see which coins are less common. The prices inside are less dependable but the other info is invaluable. What are you all planning to do with them? Collect? Sell? If collecting you may just want to get a nice album to keep them in. If you are selling then grading will help to fetch top dollar. (More near book prices) If you sell them ungraded you can expect at least a 40% reduction from book price, and that's only if selling individual coins. If you try to sell the set as one unit you will get boned big time. Hope that helps!

 

Thats a good question silentnviolent, i guess if any of the coins were of tremendous value, the temptation to sell them would be alot greater, but that plan right now is just to enjoy them. I guess the grading idea was just to help remove any doubt from my dad and uncles' heads about the authenticity and value of these coins.

 

they all past the magnet test, thanks for suggestion. Quick and painless way to remove some doubt.

 

I'll also add, we bought a redbook, but without some knowledge of grading, it's too varied to really get a sense. The grade on some coins means the difference between $500,000.00 and $50.00 (possible exagerattion).

 

This is the best book for Morgans:



Many consider this bible on Morgan dollars, and Q. David Bowers is tops in his field.
