Good question. I kinda just took some pics and didn't look,, so it's an assortment.... I hope we don't get too much blowback from the tpg's,, a couple are 2nd tier, but I think the grades are close,,, not that I'm a professional grader. merc - ANACS 82cc - PCI gold label 94o - PCI green label ... I find the gold label's to be more conservatively graded. 89s - NGC
I'll say ef40 on the dime ms64 on the first morgan (and if I'm wrong don't slam me just learning this art of grading)
42 Merc VF-30 but I think it's a 25 1882-CC MS-64 Vam-2A but I think it's a 63 1894-O AU-55 1889-S MS-61
42 merc, vf 25 82 cc morgan-au-50 84-0 morgan au-58 89-s morgan ms62 what is it with that mm on the 89-s?
Round 1 recap: ANACS grades: 42/1D - VF35 - love the toning on this one. can't agrue with the grade. No one noted the potential for the overdate... although this particular one is very hard to pick up. PCI grades: 1882CC - MS64 - nice coin. maybe 63 1894O - AU50 - I thought we'd see some lower AU's for this one... ya'll think it's an upgrade candidate for pcgs or ngc,, or just posting overgrades due to the tpg ? NGC grades: 1889S - MS61 - I like the coin, expecially the reverse. Observations: Nicks and rubs on Morgans are "readily" apparent in the pictures,, no where near this apparent in hand and without a loop. I guess in hand they look more like the pictures before you click on them to get to the blown up versions.... I think you may be able to read the luster in the smaller pictures better than the blown up version,, but can read the technical points better in the blown up pics. Awards for this set of cents: Best - Raider & Lehigh - 1.5 > Strong starts Chip - 8.25 Others: BIGJPST- 4.0 RLM's - 3.0 Duke - 2.5 Leadfoot - 3.25 BadThad - 1.75 One to round 2...........
I think the '94-O is stronger then a AU50. Take a look at the first two auctions here: Search results for: 1894-O While imo there's a good chance it would upgrade, I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. The difference between grades isn't that much (Around $70), but it's up to you.
I did think about the overdate but that is the version that is hard to see in hand even. So I quickly passed on to grading it. I think I would have added the 5 points to hit it right on if I knew it was an overdate though. As for the Morgan, Yes I'd think it should be a 55 and would upgrdade but you never know
