That mark on the cheek could be a factor in grade from a TPG. I would think 64-65 isn't out of line for this one. About $275-$470.
No expert, so experts correct me. It's just a way to learn by trying to grade. Looks like it's an GSA Morgan, cc 1882-1884 GSA are common. Usually a ms62-64....worth around 200-250 I think. Thoughts?
For a reasonable value range, go to ebay and search completed listings for white, non-graded GSA 1882-CC Morgans.
I think it woluld make a 65 which way ups the value. worth a shot at grading. they leave them in the GSA holder.
I would say the mark on the cheek will keep it from getting a 65, although otherwise it looks pretty good... I'll go 64~
I agree. It is a very nice coin and I think the rub mark is nominal. It is a 65. I was going to say 64 but i changed my mind.
If you submitted to NGC, you would have to use the Early Bird tier if it is the only coin you're submitting. This costs $30 with an estimted 12 working day turnaround. There is an additional $8 handling fee plus the shipping and insurance, so the whole thing would cost $60, give or take. NGC has a less expensive tier, Economy at $17 with an estimated 21 working day turnaround, but you have to submit a minimum of 5 coins. With NGC, you can elect to have the coin graded in the original government case or have it removed and placed in a standard NGC slab with the provenance noted on the insert. Many people preefer to have them graded in the OGP, but the only drawback to this is that the NGC guarantee does not apply. It's a decision you have to make. I can't comment on the fees for PCGS or ANACS. The only reason I mention ANACS is because they attribute all VAM's (for an extra fee of course), whereas both NGC and PCGS attribute only from a specific list of VAM's. The alternative to submitting them yourself which would require paying a membership fee for either NGC or PCGS would be to find a dealer near you who submits to one or both and piggyback your submission on his. Naturally, the dealer would probably charge a fee for this service. However, if you're a member of the ANA, you can submit to NGC without paying an NGC membership fee. Chris
Actually, this one is worth the grading expense. However, only NGC currently grades the GSA Morgans and leaves them in the GSA holder, so send it to them.
