I bought this one this way. However, anyone submitting a coin to one of the major TPGs (PCGS, NGC, Anacs, or ICG) can request for the coin to be...
61 PL looks to be harsh from the photos; I expect worse bag marks for a 61.
I was going to guess MS 62 PL
AU 58 used to be a good value grade with plenty of nice examples when there was less market grading (some of those nice AU 58s have been bumped up...
...or not :p This was an interesting thread as basically everyone went with MS 64. I think that is a fair grade, considering the color (market...
Maybe we should give it another day or two...:D
MS 64
I have not seen the type of market grading you find at PCGS or NGC with Anacs but I have also seen only a small number of higher end color toners...
Here is a new thread and a new chance to guess the grade on a newly acquired coin. I tried to use "new" as sparingly as possible and hopefully add...
A very nice example that has plenty of character! And a great tie-in to your experience as well!
Same here....although I could give a ddddd sticker of approval at that grade if that makes @mrweaseluv any happier :D
For now Trade Dollars are still the only chopped coins that PCGS will straight grade (not so with other world coins that have chops). I don't...
MS 62 ....the cheek and fields to the left of the cheek suggest to me that 62 is the max for this one. If they gave it a 61, I wouldn't question...
Part of online buying is knowing what to look for in a photo. There are sellers on eBay that juice their photos (to enhance the color) and one...
In the 10 years that I have gone to shows, I have not found any amazing examples comparable to these that were priced low. Most of the time I have...
I have seen NGC slabs say "Private Countermark" (as the example below that I copied from online). However, with something that is not well...
I began to closely follow toned Morgans around 2015 and the premiums have been on a mostly upward trajectory. Mid-2020 is when I saw a decent...
One observation I have made is that the number of dealers with at least one toner in their case has increased over the years. I started going to...
AU 53 ...I see wear and a lack of luster to get it into the high AU range, so went with a lower AU grade
Any speculation of toner premiums going to zero are premature-at least from my vantage point (there was a thread on the PCGS forum where this was...
