did you look at the scratches on the side but it is an old coin so i can not blame you on that.

I think you are right because it is an old coin. But very nice design. How much did it cost ya.

Im new to the coin grading so dont blame me.

 

A piece of advice we can all use from time to time. It is sometimes better to read than respond. Learn what people that know the hobby well have to say, and learn from it. When you make statements without really understanding, you are not helping the person asking for help and it calls into question comments you make in the future. Guess the grade threads are different because they are used as a learning tool. Good Luck and Welcome to Coin Talk!

 

Thanks

 

What city do you live in? Perhaps the posters can recommend a mentor for you or a good coin shop.

 

Got this back from NGC. Part of me was hoping for a 63, but that scratch was just too much, so I think the 62+ is lucky. Even with the scratch it is very appealing.

I laugh out loud every time I read that haha

 

This thread JUST came up again in "Alerts" and I forgot that it was old and Mr. Mercury was a YN

 

I really like the fields on that coin Sean. To bad that luster graze is so prominent on Ms. Liberty. Will you buy or sell this one? To the MODS, I'm not interested in buying the coin, nor making an offer, I'm just interested in what Sean will do with the coin.

 

I can't seem to sell any of these, even though I should. It's my only 78 now, so I will keep it. It's also PL, so I might wait a little and sell it later. I have a lot of 82-84s now, wish I could be more disciplined and save up for a big boy coin. If I sold any of those except the ones I want to keep, I'd lose money with Ebay fees. But who knows, eventually I will see a superior coin, buy it, and be forced to sell some.

 

Not used to the + designation they've started using anymore. Me I still say a solid 62 pl

 

I don't think it will get above 61 with the cheek as it is. I have a 61 here but it wasn't a GSA

 

Don't get grade hung up. I think you did extremely well on this coin--it has tremendous eye appeal, except for the scratch. Look, all the GSA Morgans have some sort of surface damage--it is part of their heritage. They are generally not clean for their grade--it is rare to find a really beautiful one with both eye appeal and totally clean surfaces. You did very well.
