I think the seller is a legitimate high profile dealer and not a scammer.
Even if all of the above is a given (which I don't think it is) that doesn't cover situations where the grade is legitimately in dispute. Along...
And in this case, assuming that it's genuine, I actually think it has a better chance to grade AU than it does VF.
The PCGS fees are dependent upon the speed with which you want the coins graded, the insured value per coin, etc. Here is their fee schedule:...
Whizzed coins generally have a very different appearance from coins that have been wiped, cleaned, etc. I didn't see anything in your images that...
It looks like An AU coin that has been cleaned, and which, as a result of the cleaning would not grade at a major grading company. But it does not...
Where are you seeing numbers like that? My guess is that you're either seeing 1) PCGS/NGC populations or 2) PCGS populations of a certain...

That's why I asked what your own value cut off is in determining whether you think it's worthwhile to have a coin graded. I'm still wondering?
If it's genuine, as long as it grades XF or better (which it should), to many people, it's certainly worth getting graded. What is your own value,...

MS60's typically look as if they have been badly mishandled. That coin is not nearly baggy enough to merit a grade that low. Here's an MS60: [IMG]
There are 1356 cameos and an additional 176 ultra cameos (compared to 5441 non-cameos) for the Proof Morgan Dollar series listed on the NGC Census...
"First couple of coins" sounds like a huge understatement to me. The large numbers of cameos extant indicate that it was a lot more than "first...
Based on the images, I probably would have guessed MS63RB. But NGC had the huge advantage of seeing the coin in-hand. I don't think a CAC...
Maybe the images are just distorting the appearance of the coin but my gut tells me it's counterfeit. I say that because, on the obverse, in...
I think you just lost your head. :eek:There is no way the coin is counterfeit. In fact, I have never seen a counterfeit Proof Morgan dollar. The...
Here's the closest match I couldl find for a recent auction sale: 1922 No D 1C Strong Reverse G4 ANACS. Die 2 FS-401....
