GTG: 1900-O Morgan Dollar

63 perhaps, maybe, could be, oh hell I don't know. Hope its higher, thanks for sharing.

The Compugrade slabbed Morgan brought the price you see based on the slab and not the Vam. Any Compugrade Morgan is a $200 coin in the current market (and going up from there if it is an unusual grade or a pl/dmpl).

 

I figured so. With that info, it sounds like I have a lower-end VAM - likely supported with a nonexistent Greysheet on it. I'm kinda unsure why people would pay such a premium for a Compugrade slab but like the $119,000 PCGS slab, to each his own.

CDNs are $77/105 for a 63, only a few bucks more for 64 but the die cracks could bring the small bit.

 

The Compugrade slab is scarce (not too many out there) and it is a cool piece of history (an attempt to grade using computers back in the early 1990s). It is actually among my favorite of the oddball slabs.

 

I wonder if all they graded before closing was Morgans. I looked on Ebay and those are the only coins housed in those holders. Seems like part if why they went under was the lack of advancements in technology- nowadays, you could likely grade coins by computer and get away with it.

Either way, I think it'd be pretty cool to own one of them if I could get it at a fair price.

 

Might be too soon, but here's the big reveal:


@Mr. Numismatist, @KBBPLL, @Anthony Mazza - you all got it correct! According to standards from 27 to 35 years ago, that is. Without the nicks that Liberty is staring at, it could likely reach a 65 - nowadays the entire coin would likely get a 64.

There were a bunch of guesses for 64, though. Out of 13 total grade guesses, the average was 63.38.

Thanks for playing, everybody! Next time I pick up another Morgan like this, maybe another OGH for $0.09 over Greysheet, I'll post a GTG about it.

 

I may be in the minority here but i remember grading in the 1990's or so and they were too strict often times. I think the coins grade is a 64. If I bought it that is what i would call it and the owner is always right. james
