MS-62. I think the glare from the holder makes some of the lines of the Roman numeral III look weaker than they really are. Nice coin. I used...

I'd pass on the 1891-CC Morgan Spitting Eagle. To me that's a bit too high for a "details-cleaned" grade. If that trade dollar is the real McCoy...
The Upper Canada token shows King George IV, strangely, it was issued 2 years after he died. Upper Canada was the region immediately north of the...
You stole it. That coin is at least a $45 to $50 coin as you said, and maybe closer to $60 in some price guides. Heck, yeah, go back and see...
