I hear ya! I laugh at what some sellers of raw Buffalo's describe as MS; most severely over grade. On most raw coins I will never offer more...
I will only buy Buffaloes with a full horn, but I'm a horny kind of guy!
I'll say no on the 1879-S Morgan, mainly due to the deep mark on the cheek. Now all of you can say bean now that I took the pressure off!

I'd call it a variety since they were intentionally made that way. I thought I was a variety until my dad told me I was an error. Still not...
Love the gloves! Times have changed.

So far the numbers are interesting. There have been 27 coins submitted with the star designation. The total votes have been: YES - 77, NO - 111;...
I just purchased the 1955 Franklin to complete my birth year proof set. It did get a star from NGC. IMO it was marginal; the obverse is...
I'll do the reveal this evening to let any stragglers take their shot.
If they did that when I was going to college I would have been labeled another species.
