Thanks JPC...appreciated. Doing more surface examining, I think maybe it was dropped and/or just with a bunch of other (dirty) slabs...there is...
I posted it in my other thread, but I got an 1879-S MS-67 CAC Morgan Silver Dollar. Got some questions about the grade and slab, though:...
Here's a few more photos of the bottom of the slab:
Just Acquired (& Need Help): OK, I got my coin....lo and behold, it's not only an MS-67 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar, but it's also got CAC. :D...
"But Apollo, you just said there 'aint gonna be a rematch" -- Rocky Balboa, 7 minute mark of "Rocky II" :D
I think this thread has been great and not one for cheerleading. I learned and am learning alot from BOTH sides, even those whom I disagree with....
Ugg....it looks OK, but the ratings are not in 1-grade differences. So you have to guestimate from MS-65 to MS-66 as it's 1/2 way to their...
Understood....it's just that there were a few varieties and they eoncompassed a period of 12+ years. So when I saw "OGH" all the time referencing...
I do, that's great advice, and Thank You !!!:cigar:

Agreed...but the consensus is that grading standards have not been like the Speed Of Light -- constant. :D There were periods where things...
Here's something I'd be interested in hearing from some of you: 2 coins...identical or nearly identical....one graded from the early-2000's, the...
Makes sense on the surface, but what if the coin is top-quality ?
Make sense....though supposedly the standards were so stringent in the late-1980's that you'd value the desirability over a 1-grade move. In...
I was just checking Ebay and was curious as to what some people were asking for older holders from PCGS/NGC. Specifically, the Old Green Holders...
Damn, I wonder if I should have ordered this one instead of the 7th ANA guide....hope it has pics like this one.:banghead:
Great info, thanks Lehigh !! I am learning alot...though at times it seems like the more I learn, the less I know. My ANA book arrives tomorrow,...
Lehigh......OK, first I made a typo. I wrote: "....if they are both MS-65*, right ? The 2nd one has much darker/noticeable blotches on the face,...
