Where did you find an MS-70 Morgan? One of those would be news to everyone, including the TPG's. :)
I'm thinking so. :) Hopefully reporting it will help, for once.
Well, you got your avatar coin, so it isn't like I'll ever stop being jealous of you. :)
Speaking of Lincolns, this just in from @carboni7e. Die cracks, chips, color I've no idea how to depict respectfully yet, and an object lesson in...
It sat in the For Sale Forum here for two weeks before I even contacted him about it, and ten days more before I had the cash to buy it... :)
I simply didn't care about the grade. Although with this color, even a 1904-O in MS64 would likely have been out of my budget. :) [ATTACH]
The same could be said of Morgans. :)
22A1 was the only use of that obverse in the series, right? 12B (the next step) plainly has the date in a different position.

My theory is it's the places of hardest scuffing, where the artificial darkener did not fully take. The first question I had for the coin is, how...
Except for the last few, which they're going to market at additional cost as "Final Releases." Excuse me while I go vomit.
You plainly don't understand EAC, then. For EAC'ers, TPG's and "market" grading are a language they don't speak and don't care to learn. EAC...
This lovely little piece just in from @ddddd. Guesses as to grade and VAM? I shot it with "normal" technique and an El Nikkor 75mm, with no real...
This is worse than the "cash for gold" thieves we universally scorn. Face value for Morgans? I couldn't live with myself afterward.
The worst of it is, I've a feeling this one was an unlisted RPM - Variety Vista doesn't have one like it and the MM looks plainly repunched.
Morgans are for cash flow and variety geeks. :D
I'm generally derisive of Moderns but you - among others - have taught me where and when to find genuine Condition Rarities which easily meet my...
