GTG 1880 morgan "Binion Hoard"

Common date, but I thought It a very nice example, undergraded, slot was empty.. add in under list price and Binion Hoard so of course I bid and won
What would you grade it (as mentioned I think it undergraded)

MS-63

 

MS63 also....

 

MS61

 

MS 62 ....the cheek and fields to the left of the cheek suggest to me that 62 is the max for this one. If they gave it a 61, I wouldn't question it either. A 60 might be on the low end.

 

Interesting story about these coins..... Binion Hoard - Wikipedia

61

 

Looks 62-61 in those. They could bump it up for the progeny, probably did.

MS61, 62 if generous. Nice photos.

 

62

 

I'd like to see a 63, but the jabs right in the sweet spot 62-61.

 

62

 

My first impression was MS-62. Alot of scuffs in the field. Field in front of the face and the cheek are prime focal points for grading on these.

 

Well I see MS63-64 but maybe I'm a lil biased lol

 

A bit better brilliance to the piece in the whole slab pics, think about it. these were all passed thru commerce at one point or another.
I think 62 is as high as it goes.

 

But did you pay extra for the label?
Bunion Morgan slabs bring $70 plus dollars with just about any grade.
Said to be about 100,000 silver dollars slabbed by NGC in what they call higher grades 61&up most being Morgan dollars.

 

Same here....although I could give a ddddd sticker of approval at that grade if that makes @mrweaseluv any happier

 

as i said at the top, I paid just under list (ngc list being 85) for a 62 so add in the Binion label and the fact it is a fine looking coin even at 62 I couldn't resist
