I picked this up today at an estate auction yesterday. Although this Morgan has some great frost, the pictures seem to over-highlight it a little...
Here is a thread where I actually posted a picture of an ANI coin and asked everyone to guess the grade. The first pics are very big and take a...
I'd give it XF-45 and maybe even an AU-50 depending on luster. It's an O mint, so I'd give it a little credit for maybe being weakly struck....
Jim, I am no expert on cents, but I did consult the PCGS Counterfeit Detetcion Guide (pages 307-308). Here is what I gather from it: The...
I have been lulled into the MS trap as well Screwtape, so don't worry about that. This is the best place to come to and then educate yourself. I...
I am no where as good as the others, but here are my grades... 21-AU 55 96 - AU 55 97- XF 45 98- XF 40 85- AU 55 86- MS 63+ (looks nice)...
The $165 is the best price I have heard of. In the back of Coin World there are a few dealers who also advertise for bags of wheats, but have...
On the Peace -- overall VF-20. The right wing on the reverse is too flat (not enough feather detail) for a higher grade, although the obverse...
Is everyone saying it has been cleaned because the fields have very different colors? Also, an xf-45 IMO (not sure about the cleaning though).
A very nice cherry-pickable VG-10. Obverse VG-8, reverse F-12. If PCGS, probably overall VG-8. Not quite enough hair detail for F-12 on the...
Well done Roy. Not that this matters, but look at how sloppy the labels are on his "slabs". I mean, that looks like a label that was created...
Congrats...we have a winner!
For those who want smaller pics...here ya go... Smaller Front Smaller Back
Picked this up for $40 at a local auction. I had never heard of ANI until I did a search on this board. Guess how they graded this Morgan? I'll...
It's hard to tell from the pictures because of lighting, but the coin has fairly good luster. I thought that a harshly cleaned coin loses luster...
Thank you all for your comments. This has been a huge learning experience for me. I tend to be more of a collector than a speculator, so I will...
If you don't see an S, O or CC (located right above the D and O in DOLLAR) on the back of the morgans they are P.
Mandy, I take that these are all P minted? If so, there are retail and wholesale prices. The retail for 1881-p in AU-50 (equal to slightly...
I picked this up at a local auction. On the table (for some stupid reason) I thought it looked MS with a 6x magnifier, but when I got it home and...
Hello everyone. This is my first post. I have been lurking as a guest for a few weeks now and am really thankful for all the advice that is...
