GTG Olathe (NY Bank) hoard Treasury bag 1885p morgan

Ok This one made my night, was the only one of the 3 auctions I wanted that I won.. Under list price so I'm happy lol but I got a pretty one this time a nice 85p to go with my 85o... It's nice having morgans to shop for again, even if I still haven't found a 92 I'm happy with for the date set...
Add in it's another "hoard" I now have a piece of for my hoard collection lol
anyhoo.. putting up the pole so you can make your guesses
here are the sellers and NGCs pics (NGC dark pics as usual)

MS 63

 

MS-63

 

I would say 63 but I'm gonna believe in this coin and say it got a 64!

 

63.

 

I would give it a 63 but I think NGC may have given it a 64

 

Same here. I see a ms63. But NGC gave it a 64 because of how frosty the coin is.

 

i'm thinking 63, though i've seen similar in 4 and 5 holders.

 

Just a 63

 

Could it be Prooflike, with poor lighting covering up that fact? I am gonna change my call to 63 PL. I see cameo in the surfaces.

 

I have one of these somewhere with a green bean! Different year though

 

MS-65....fields look clean, except obverse left. But others here are far better at grading Morgans than I am.

 

a little early but since most of you hit it right on the head I guess I should reveal.. and while I won't know until it's in hand, the NGC pics do make it look more then a lil PL while the sellers pics show it frosty as can be... Will post "proper" pics once she's in hand

 

From that picture, your pocket was picked. That coin is PL.

 

hehe I think you mean I picked the sellers pocket.. and yeah I'm leaning towards PL but I got her for under list (List being 100 in 63) but you ad PL and she still not an overly expensive date (150ish with pl) I might have found nicer coin but not for the price i paid and not with the hoard pedigree so I'm quite happy with her hehe

 

I really think the left obverse field is what killed it. It is a 63 like this. They carefully removed these from that SDB. I think they sat the boxes down and took the coins out one by one to avoid marking them anymore. There is an article online i found somewhere one time about it. The family didn't disclose who they were or who owned this hoard. Here is my 1887 P MS64 CAC from this hoard. I won mine for about 60 something a couple years ago on ebay auction. I sent it to JA for its bean.

 

Theres an article on coin world. I just searched it out. I would post a link but people scared to click them

 

After a bit more reading and searching myself I have found the the Olathe hoard is not the New York Bank hoard, but rather the Kansas Bank Hoard, which consisted of 25 sealed 1k treasury bags or 25000 morgans and peace dollars in total. that's what I've assembled from bit and piece like this at ngc-apmex and other sites (google not very helpful here lol)
apmex says...

25 sealed bags of silver dollars where found at a bank in olathe Kansas in 2009, the bank kept them in reserve to cover deposits as required by law but prefered to keep real silver instead of cash.

 

NY Bank Hoard was a Manhattan resident who stored them at a local bank, right ?

I think those have their own label, too.

 

I was at 63 before I saw the reveal. Nice and frosty but too much left field and cheek chatter for higher. The reverse is beautiful though
