IT’S HERE! MY 1893-S MORGAN, THE KEY DATE IS IN MY HANDS

Congrats - and I do not think it looks cleaned in the pictures. Are you going to crack it out for the album?

The reason for the question is because I had a common date morgan come back as cleaned MS details. Took it to the local shop - and was told they screwed up, crack it out and resend it in. It was not worth a second grading fee - but I did crack it out. And a few years later took it back to the shop and my dad still made some money off the coin. So for this coin - in an album with a bunch of nice morgans might even make you a little money in the coming years. Assuming you ever sell. Of course this rare date will probably even appreciate in the holder.

 

no I’m going to leave it in the slab as that at least proves it’s genuine. Anyone that looks at it hand-in-hand can see. There’s no lines from cleaning that it was just a quick dip. I could crack it out and put it on the window sill where it gets sunlight and after a few months, I could resubmit it and get a better straight grade. The dealer I bought it from in California also sent me the fake coin and no charge. It’s not the estimate but it is the right date 1893 so I may just plug that into the hole because I know I’ve got the real one.

 

I like that idea - I always hated seeing those empty holes in my large cent albums. I had the coins but they were graded. Heck - even some of the fakes were expensive for the 1793 and 1804 large cents.

 

Congrats to you! It’s beautiful!

 

Congratulations, it's a nice feeling achieving a goal.

 

If I have an album or a folder those empty slots are very annoying to me. I have a compulsion to fill them but I apply common sense to what aim doing.

 

Yes it is and either the Morgan’s it took a few years. I went through the 1500 plus Morgan’s that I own and plugged the holes in the four Whitman’s folders. Then I bought the remainder which was less than 7 coins. Took a few years due to the higher costs while I was still buying for other reasons.

 

Thank you

 

Congratulations, my Friend! Major milestone for a Morgan dollar collector.

I don't collect Morgans and know little about them, but I do know this is THE coin in the set. Well done.

 

Thank you. It is by far the key date.

 

Congrats for the long journey now at an end.

 

Thank you. I’m still working on completing a few other sets. I haven’t found the right 1927-S Peace Dollar. It needs to be PCGS graded in MS 64 or higher with a blue label and it needs to be bright white. I’m not going to overpay for it, but they have gone up in price.
