Okay, I've restored the images for the 1880 Morgans. Please give me your grading opinion.
In terms of grading that coin, the graders are good at looking at the flat spots and differentiating between wear and the original planchet...
I only get the business strikes. And I buy them UNC at coin shows. So naturally I'm paying WAY over face for them. The P&D DC quarters cost me 50...
Even if nothing was wrong with that coin, it would have to grade MS-65 before it would be worth slabbing. And that coin won't go MS-65.
I would e-mail PCGS with that link. They have the money and connections to come down hard on something like that.
I have no problems with the VF opinion. But the boys at the TPGs might have heartburn over the dark toning. They are often of the the opinion that...
Besides the question of whether it's been cleaned or not, IMO it is not worth enough to merit slabbing. I use the 10% rule. The cost of slabbing...
Okay, I looked at the 1879 and the mark on the cheek. There's good news and bad news. First, the Bad News: It was definitely NOT caused by the...
Ahhhhh, yes. That's what I was hoping for. Five opinions. I can make some reasonable consensus out of that.
I'll wait another day or two before I restore the 1880 Morgans. That was the way I planned to keep from overdoing it. One year at a time (2-4...
Okay, I'll give it another try. The images have been restored to this thread. I would hopefully get 2-3 more opinions.
I've got the 1892-CC on my list for replacement. Also I have 3 more identified for upgrading. If I don't find anymore that need replacing, that...
But I definitely need to apologize for one omission by me. I forgot to thank the people who did render opinions. Thank you for taking the time.
And my second replacement coin arrived today. My 1891-S Morgan had worse problems than my 1881-S. And it's a slight upgrade. Old Obverse [IMG]...
I knew there was something like this. I didn't know the specifics AND I didn't know NGC and PCGS didn't agree. Anyway, I tried it and at best my...
Each thread only covered one year. Doing it coin-by-coin doesn't make much sense to me. That would mean 4 separate threads for most years.
My replacement 1881-S Morgan arrived yesterday. The one I had in my collection was a reasonable grade (AU details) but had too much damage....
I pulled them. Wasn't getting the number of grading opinions I was hoping for. Except for 1878, I think I was only getting one opinion for the...
Just got the replacement for my damaged 1881-S Morgan. It's only MS-63 BUT it's in an OGH AND the surfaces look very reflective. So my first...
WOW!!! That's humbling. Something you can be very proud of.
