From reports here and other places, their M.O. seems to be to auction items that have problems or are "less than they appear" over and over until...
It 'appears' to be genuine to me- the edge reeding looks good, most counterfeiters ignore that. As to grade... xf to au,depending on luster.
I'm thinking around VF30, based on the wear on the drapery,and the eagle's neck and the right wing. The obv. image is overexposed. I don't think...
LOL, yeah, almost always these turn out to be from way west of Carson City, but I think that even the raw ones for sale are genuine (appear to be,...
i could see someone hoarding this issue, it being the first year silver dollars were struck at Carson City. The pcgs graded xf one is especially...
I might see one every week or 2 when I run through the SLD listings, but 4?? Even the 2 raw examples look genuine to me. (I didn't count the 2...
Very nice looking! Fascinating history behind those, and you got it for a great price.

With this one from Dick Osburn, shortly after he bought it at Baltimore. My 1840-49 set is a mixed bag, some battered, some graded/slabbed, a...
One of my favorite designs, and in a nice grade-- congrats!
Looks nice and original!
My opinion, formed before reading the other posts, is that the coin has uncirculated details but very likely a cleaning. On the obverse, I see...
Some intriguing thoughts, Paddy. It's not in a GSA holder, it's PCGS. Interestingly, the first coins out of the CC mint, the 1870 CC seated...
Thanks, and I meant to invite others to GTG, too. I'll post the grade before I go to bed tonight.
While it may be an MS68, as Red Tiger says, the likelihood is very small. In those lofty grades from 66up, luster is King and it's very hard to...
I only own several Morgans, none of which I think are nice as type example, you know, the sort where you would look at it and say "Hmm, nice...
