This may just be my dream coin. I won't own it but I can stare at the photos. Feel free to guess the grade and use the poll. And yes that is the...
That's fair. I like the titanium ones as well. I have the 2000 and 2001 in my collection (it's too bad there was a gap year in 2002 before the...
MS 64 I think the cheek hit is enough to keep it out of a 65 and the overall eye appeal is hurt by the dark toning (spots?) around the letters...
Just to clarify: the coin in the original post is not mine (and I’d agree that it shouldn’t be cracked as it’s already maxed out). The one I...
I guess I’m just not seeing it the same way. To me the original coin’s toning is nice and star worthy, but the transition doesn’t do enough to...
I’m also not certain what you meant by the first coin having a nicer pattern? It doesn’t display any end-roll, crescent/arc, textile, or any...
@physics-fan3.14 I appreciate the analysis and concede the obverse vs reverse point (even if I personally don’t agree with it). I’ll add that my...
And I am a bit biased towards my coin, but I’m willing to say the coins I have are overgraded too. I posted another 65 a while back that I owned....
I think the bottom one (reverse toned) is at least one point higher (and likely 1.5). There are less contact marks in the fields, the cheek is...
What I meant to say was that the color bump can be hard to account for if one doesn't mention the generation of holder. In my experiences the...
Here they are together...both 65..... [IMG] [IMG]
No break for me as it's not my coin. I'm still not fully over my technically superior and also nicely toned Morgan that got the same 65 grade. #2...
You make some great points and I appreciate your analysis! Having polls on GTG threads is something that we should start doing more (I haven't...
The color might not be market acceptable, but I liked it and it was in the junk bin at the coin store (if I recall I probably paid 4-5 times face...
Ok, so you were right. :D It graded MS 65 and I don't agree. It has the contact marks of a 63 and with a color bump should max out at 64....
Any reason that you don't like the ones with more than one color? I don't love all of them equally (I'm collecting the whole set), but I do find...
Why would you say something like that? ;):D
I like these modern coins: Austria 2015 Niobium (not colorized) Cosmology: [IMG] Kazakhstan 2006 Tantalum Space [IMG]
For me it's a bit too baggy (too much contact on the cheek and fields) for a 63 and I'd call it a 62. For a raw Unc Morgan, $25-$35 is a general...
Here's another interesting Morgan I saw (not mine). Please guess the grade. :) [ATTACH]
