Wow, that is *dark* Too much wear for a 30, not enough wear for a 20. I'm going to go with the unusual grade of 25.
1946 - I'd call that a *very attractive* MS-64. 1906 - Very low AU. Definitely circulated, no question. Noticeable wear on all high points,...
Very nice! I was going to suggest that you search for an Italian type with a 20 reverse with much larger numerals and a more oval O... but it...
Riff has been pretty clear that a lot of his recent picks have come from bulk sales of unsorted world coins. The dealer literally doesn't have the...
Toning is uncommon on steel cents, but is possible. I agree with @cwart , however, they look like they have been treated. There is flattening on...
What I recommend, instead of going for the "highest" grade, is going for the "best grade for the money." Look at this chart for the 1885 Morgan...
Really, the choice is up to you: 1. A very high grade common date 2. A low grade key date 3. A mid-grade semi-key 4. A really nice toner 5. A...
AU in my opinion. Two key points to look at: notice the discoloration of the high points (such as the lettering on the reverse, and his cheek and...
If I was going to buy a Morgan for a type set, I'd absolutely get a DPL example. This is an uncommon example of a rather common coin, graded 65+...
Are these things that come up frequently enough to have a reasonable chance to obtain all of them? I'm not really familiar with any of them,...
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's just their policy. It's not violating any laws, but that seems to be what they do here.
AU-53? There seem to be a LOT of marks on that coin, but the actual wear seems minimal.
That Washington does not look plated. Prooflike coins started to become common in the early 90's due to a change in mint technology - they began...
Missed this one because I was too busy partying ;) But I would have guessed 58, and agree that this is an exceptional coin. Very nice,...
Whenever I try to decide if I should send a coin in, I have to weigh the costs. How much did I spend on the coin, and is it worth the $30 to send...
I was really hoping this was a joke thread. I thought to myself, "No way can this be real." But no, it's real:...
Based on some of the things the mint puts out, I wouldn't be surprised to see him behind the line!
I think you might have posted this in the wrong thread. This is your morgan in a bad slab thread ;)
Are you sure the coin is authentic? Obviously the slab is bad, but I've not seen too many bad slabs where the coin was good.
