Congrats on a nice purchase!
I didn't want to bump the old thread but wanted to share the news I found out. This 1886 nicely toned Morgan seemed optimistically graded to me...
MS 66
I'll guess MS 68
MS 65 ....looks to have nice luster and is relatively clean; the cheek is decent; there is some chatter in the left obverse field (to the left of...
PCI has had many iterations with countless different owners (I believe the number is in the double digits). Some were good while others were...
It was a TPG started by David Lawrence Rare Coins in April 2008 after they bought out the assets from PCI. It only lasted until August 2010. They...
They call these "mechanical errors" ...someone at NGC messed up when printing the label or mixed it up with another label. It's not rare but also...
As far as cracking, I've done it with several. All the examples below were cracked for my type set album. The 1913 was the only non-details...
I'm not sure how many there were or how many remain. I know a few people know these well but even then it would likely be hard to put a number....
With many of the modern commemoratives, raw in original packaging and MS/PF 69 prices tend to be nearly identical. The market only adds a premium...

66 BN …pretty color on a cool coin
66 RB …this one falls in between #1 (my favorite of the three) and #2 but I think the grade is the same as #2…again nice color and fairly clean...
66 RB …I like coin #1 a tad better; this one is still very nice. The spots might have kept it out of a 67
Sorry to see; that is pretty poor of NGC. I’ve had “conservation” suggested on two of my subs at NGC but declined both times (neither coin had...
67 RB …pleasing color, lustrous, and clean looking surfaces
That seller has a few Morgans and other coins where he buys them and then lists the coin for 10x-100x. I'm not sure what the goal is as they never...
I'm ok with 66, 66+, or 67 on the toner. The last one is also fine as a 66-67 but the first is by far the weakest.
Some toners have quadrupled in the last 6 years. In this case, there has not been a sale, so it's just the asking price that went up. A no reserve...
