MS-62. Maybe proof like.

 

Good eye again. I have too many 2As

Edit: I also have too many 2A posts

I looked at his info and it states he's 12. I did a spit take multiple times in this thread.

 

Me too.

 

@SuperDave I don't know if I can shave with it, but I can definitely brush my teeth with it.

 

I'm in at MS-61 DPL. It looks it. But she sure was roughed up before moving on to a better home. I hope you treat her like the lady she is.

 

LoL you are right at that. Nice coin. Yeah some scratches on the face, but it should be graded in MS and PL and like some say DMPL possibly

 

BINGO!!! You should apply for a TPGS job. Although we can not be totally positive it is a PL becaue you need to measure the depth of field. ALSO...since it is a better date, the graders are going to see really full mirrors before assigning that designation. Getting a DMPL is even harder on a better date.

What kind of opinion did you expect on a Morgan $ from a poster called Mr. Mercury. .. Mr. Walking Liberty is sitting here with me (1 AM on a Friday night - we ain't got no life!) and he thinks it grades VG.

 

Not interested in joining pcgs I learned to grade coins before there really were tpgs and I do well buying raw and sending them in

 

Me too, I was teasing but you obviously have the talent. I've heard that the TPGS can be like a Chinese Sweat Shop.

 

I heard the same. Why there so much turnover there. And inconsistency too

 

Never heard much about that. I believe the top guys at NGC have been there 5+ years to decades. That company seems to be hiring new talent and stealing old talent from PCGS - yes I may be biased.

We can say all the TPGS are inconsistent at times. Probably mostly due to market fluctuations - hot or cold. Lots goes on. Dealer A sends a batch to service W. Doesn't like results and complains. Gets no satisfaction so switches to service Y until the same thing happens to him over there and he goes back to Service W. TPGS have large budgets and continued pressure from the large submitters IMO has led to an "evolution" [more liberal] of standards. That opened the door for the "sticker" companies to put their approval to the slab and on, and on. Nevertheless, the TPGS are a boon to the hobby and offer protection for people who do not have your expertise.

 

I agree. And the biggest benefit I can see with tpg coins is being able to sell coins sight unseen from images. A slabbed coin much easier to sell to a buyer halfway across the country then a raw one. You have a guarantee of authenticity and grade

 

That is a silly grade

 

also silly

 

$15.00, I don't think so. Try buying a junk or cull silver dollar and you'll pay over $20.00. This is a nice looking dollar with a great back ground but it's scratched way too much for me.

 

coin in the OP looks lower end MS and maybe PL too. I know NGC will grade these and leave them in the GSA holders, will PCGS do that too?

 

Is the initial silly commentary really necessary? Just post the coin, which is actually quite nice, despite a fair amount of bag marks. I would say low level MS (61-62), with a possible designation as PL (impossible to say without seeing it in hand). It has beautiful mirrors and quite a bit of luster. So, it is a really nice coin, that took some hard bag hits, but that isn't unusual in GSA Morgans. See, even the Morgan snobs such as me recognize a nice looking coin, albeit a baggy one. However, that is the norm for GSA Morgans--getting a clean gem one is far less common than getting one that has taken a few deep hits, due to storage and encapsulation issues that were less than ideal. This one is definitely worth getting the NGC ribbon to see if it is, indeed, proof like.

 

Sorry I and a couple others were a little hard on you as I didn't realize you were a YN and just learning like we all did at your age . Hang in there and look up and read some threads on grading . I'm sure you'll have it down way before I did . Good luck on your collecting . Also like I said before any hits or bag marks can not make an MS coin grade lower than MS . The only way is if a hit is so deep and bad it may get a Details grade . Do you have a grading book ? The ANA 6th Edition is the best out there .
