Cherrypicking SGS slabs?

    Here's an interesting auction and I thought it worthy of my 900th post.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/1883-SILVER-MOR...ryZ39465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Although I don't like the "I'll leave feedback after you do policy" the dealer is straight forward to me.

    Nice big pics of an SGS MS68 coin that he estimates at 64-65 by PCGS. Real nice reverse but the obverse wouldn't get MS65 IMO but I am not a Morgan man.

    Wonder if he cherrypicked a nice coin from the vast supply of SGS garbage?

    Comments?

    I have to agree with this.
    Rim ding and too many hits on the obverse.
    The reverse is fantastic though.

    Nice strike for a P mint...PCGS 64 my bet, marks are just on the wrong places...cheek and right in front of the nose, worst possible places.
