I was between 64 and 65...gave it the benefit of doubt with a 65 since the obverse looked quite clean.
MS 62 can definitely be nice (although this one was downgraded to 62 by PCGS from an NGC 63 holder). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here is a better thread from Lehigh himself...
I don't think there is any issue to own one. It can serve a hole filler and an educational piece to study. The issue is trying to sell it as the...
MS 66 not FS....luster and obverse carry it to a 66 grade but there are just enough ticks on the steps (including some that break the steps under...

MS 65 ....trueview looks even cleaner and higher grade but they can hide some marks; there might be PL qualities to the coin as well (at least the...
Nice! I bid you much respect. :p
65 5FS ....the steps just make it (a few hits on the steps hurt the grade a bit but don't prevent the steps from being complete)....a hit on the...
66+ 5FS.... there is a scrape on the steps but not enough to prevent the designation and the coin looks better than a 66 but not quite enough to...
It was started by Larry Briggs in 1998. The grading can be hit or miss and the market doesn't really value the slabs above raw pricing (with some...

Most likely enhanced photos but possibly altered surfaces/whizzed. There are several sellers on eBay that take every Morgan with even a little...
It's a self slabbing job by the eBay seller (or someone the seller buys the coins from). There is little to no premium for it since it is fairly...
66 5FS is what I'd grade it but based on the order, I went with "other"...I think NGC might have given this one "Unc Details" like your last one...
The photo (especially the obverse) unfortunately implies that either the coin might have altered surfaces or (more likely) that the seller...
@Morgandude11 I looked at GC and noticed that coin has sold 4 times in the span of about 4 years (all in the 66+ holder)! 1) $1,096.88 (Dec 2018)...
3.0 holders are indeed not allowed to be cracked (or crack at the extreme risk of losing a solid premium), :p
It just keeps getting worse. I'm sorry. :(
@jtlee321 the crackout game is certainly a risky (and expensive endeavor). I went from never submitting a coin to trying my hand at several...
