The proliferation of information regarding varieties (VAMs) are what attracted me to Morgans. I find die varieties, clashes and all that to be...
The pictures in the slab were taken in natural light with a Panasonic Lumix - a decent, but certainly not new camera. The original pictures I...
It has a lot more luster than shows in either picture - something in between the first photos and the picture in the slab - where to me it looks...
Me thinks that guessing grades from pictures is a pretty tough business. I recently sent in 8 raw CC Morgans - I figured that about 1/2 of the...
Graded full last month - AU53

So Starbucks will still take two of your 1889 CC Morgan Dollars to pay for a cup of coffee- right?
My favorite Morgan - I love those crazy feathers! NGC MS61
