    Yup! We'd need to see both sides of each coin. What kind of lighting are you using?

    Yes I realize this and thank you for letting me know, but I have been doing this for long enough for me to learn. Let me give you an example you see a 1893 Morgan not graded in "AU" for lets say 200 dollars, but then there is a 1893 Morgan graded for 300 in MS-60. Which would buy the Morgan that could be a MS or lower or the MS-60 coin, if your spending that much money on a single item, it better be good.

    I am using a mini LED light that attaches to my camera (around the lens) It works wonderfully! I'll get the backs tonight I'm heading home now.

    First off, OUCH! That insults me, but say what you will because that picture is real and I'm proud of it.

    Proud of what, stealing someone else's photo, claiming it as your own, pretending to be "insulted", and lying to the board? These good people have been trying to help you, and deserve better than to be pawns in some kids game.

    I found one on my laptop, this is the 1889 (top) one. I would also like to say that this is not a coin I'm sending in, it is merely being shown for the grade (example)

    Well say what you will and try to find pictures that are (surprisingly) similar to mine. I was merely trying to find help but I was accused of plagiarism! Good day to you and I wish it hasn't come to this ,but your blocked. By the way the "pawn in some kids game" was totally unnecessary, don't discriminate me due to my age! I hope OTHER good people continue to respond and give me some guidance to my grading problem.

    ;)... Any 1893 Morgan is big bucks in that condition. Looks like a 65+ coin to me. Even a P mint is $6k, 93-CC is $70K, 93-O $165K, 93-S $625K.. :D

    Oh no! Not MS 65 the coin in that pic is a little deceiving, I think it is more like a MS 60 maybe ( the back is really scratched up) that is why I need help grading it.

    I see how that can be an obvious flaw to someone who doesn't know any facts (no offense) but I posted 7 or 8 pictures online because I was happy of my purchase 2 years ago, so now can you see the easy mistake?

    You're outed, kid... anyone with eyes can see, with ABSOLUTE CERTANTY, the photos are one in the same. When first calling BS, I already knew where the photos came from, but didn't say anything to give you the opportunity to clarify... to show some class. But no... here you are AGAIN accusing someone of "discrimination" in a lame attempt to deflect away from the facts.

    Show some spine and at least apologize.

    Sorry for the confusion guys it feels like there are some sour collectors out there.

    The first incident was pure anger, this is a bad misconception that easily could have been diverted.

    Deceiving? the 1893 dollar you posted is a MS65+ coin.

    No, if you read the post it would clearly tell you the back is goofed up, honestly I don't know how to grade that stuff.

    It happens more than some seem to realize... there's a longer term member here who has a bad habit of "borrowing" photo's from a certain dealer, auto-correcting them, claiming a different TPG, and posting as if they're part of his collection. It's not just the young or new members, unfortunately.
