That is a nice coin...do you have any photos?
Also is it graded??..if so by who??

Speedy

 

Nah, I dun have photos...and its PCI graded

 

Well if you ever get photos I would love to see it...PL Morgans are the best out there IMO

Speedy

 

It doesn't look that pl to me though...but I'll just go with it-its worth more that way

 

I also have a MS64 1881-S graded by ANA, and a 1878-S MS64 graded by PCI

 

Thats not the best way to look at it....PCI is known to overgrade coins and it always is wrong to go with a grade just becuase its worth more...
I have a ANACS F-15 1938-D Half dollar....but I don't think it grades F--it only grades VG...so what do you think is the best thing for me to do if I sell it...sell it at a F just to get more $$...or sell it as a VG because that is what it really is?

Here is a photo of a PL Morgan...this is not mine but is one I have seen---its graded MS65 PL by NGC

Speedy

 

what a beautiful coin, I have started a full book collection of XF+ Morgans..i have 15 or so...anybody know where i can get a book for em

My coin looks just about that

Not sure if they sell books for morgans anymore...they did in the 70s

 

I'm too lazy to scan backs

 

Sure they do...

Go to any dealers or a Good Book Store...they might have some coin albums...

Speedy

 

Dun losten too me, I don't know what I'm talking about

 

I agree...it doesn't look PL.....but the good thing is that the the coin in the PCI holder on the end (green lable) is from when PCI was new...they were better back them...as for the one in the gold lable slab (PCI) it might be overgraded and it might not--I would have to seen good detailed photos of both sites.

When you scan a coin it washes out the luster...and that is important in grading.

Speedy

 

Oh, I didn't know that either, I won't scan again

But what would you grade them from the pics?

 

As I said...to grade you have to have photos of both sides...

From this side they look nice...they are in the MS's from MS62-MS64...can't say anything else....

Speedy

 

The backs are problem free...'cept one has a black thing on it

 

Problem free....I dout that...I have never seen a Morgan dollar that didn't have a mark on it...bag marks and if they were Problem free NGC would have graded that much higher....

I would suggest that you get a copy of Photograde and the 5th edition of the ANA guide to grading...

Speedy

 

Well, then fairly clean (Just minor bag marks ect.)

 

Well I g2g now to watch a movie

 

Speedy,
I think you made him think that scanning his coins would hurt the luster of the coin, instead of the luster in the photo's of the coins.
