Are these Morgan's worth sending off for grading?

It's easy. When you upload a pic, you're given the choice between "thumbnail" and "full image." Just choose the latter; you've been choosing "thumbnail."

Well hell, now I feel like an idiot lol

 

Not at all. You'll be an idiot if you post thumbnails the next time, though.

 

LOL. trust me, lesson learned hahah

 

I'm no fan of thumbnails, but I don't get the overwrought aggression some seem to feel against them. Then again, I center-click stuff to open it in a new tab so often there aren't any ridges on the center wheel of my mouse any more.

 

Lol. Yeah I've had a couple grumps pretty much tell me if I want an answer or info etc, crop my pics and don't post thumbnails....

 

79 cc is a details coin for sure.... but it is vf to low xf details... still prolly worth 200 to 400 in slab

 

Good news to me! Thank you

 

This year/mint is known to look a little rough even in mint state. Often I look at some of the lower MS graded pieces on Heritage and scratch my head? Due to the rarity of this year/mint though, I would definitely submit this one to a TPG. I would weigh it first to confirm it's near the 26.73 g range. Second, don't sell it before you grade this one to ensure you aren't leaving money on the table (hey, no regrets is the way to go).

 

Good point. After everyone's input, it's probably best to send it and let PCGS tell me if it has been cleaned, scratched, etc. Hopefully I'll get some good news back, it's getting sent today after I weigh it. Thanks for the info!

 

Oh YES on the '84 S.

I would hope for an AU58.

I would say no on the '79 CC.

 

I would just send both off for grading. The cost-possible return reward is worth it, not to mention the peace of mind of having an answer.

 

If you are interested in selling both coins, authenticity is always an issue. If both are real and are graded, the last barrier of price, will be easier to determine. It is always about Certainty from both buyer/seller point of views.

 

if you're sending the 84-S in anyways (no brainer IMO), then I would send the 79 in along with it. You're already paying the shipping there and back so the only additional cost is the $20ish for the 79 grading fee. I would say it's worth the $20 to be authenticated even in a details slab.

 

Let us know the results please.

 

Thanks for the advice. AU 58 would be great, esp since I found it in a bag with about 25 other Morgan's. I think I agree, I'll just keep the '79 in a book with some others that aren't too great.

 

True. I reckon I'd rather actually know what it is than continue to question myself. And like you said, 20 or so more dollars, esp since neither coin cost me anything.

 

I sure will!

 

Can just speak personally but I would definitely pay way more than $20 more for that coin in a details slab vs, raw. If it was the only coin you were sending in I would pass but again if you're sending in the 84-S anyways, now is the time since you've already sunk the cost of shipping both ways.

 

I think that both coins should be submitted to one of the major certification services. But then I think that all coins worth more than $100 or so should be in slabs. That's just me, however.
