Your poll having only 3 choices is biasing people's responses. I do like it though. I can't choose between 63 and 64 given the pics, so I'll...
Could be MS64, could be AU58. Can't tell from pictures. 78-S is not a rare coin, so if you want one in 64, there are plenty available from which...
Not a chance. AU58 or cleaned. The hairlines look fairly random, but I can't tell for sure. O mint Morgans were well struck from 79-81, then...
I find myself in agreement with the thread title, and yet look forward to seeing what gets posted.
I agree that 81-S is a good year for a Morgan dollar type coin. Also look at 80-S. The luster characteristic is a little different in that the...
I'd slab it. If it could grade 63 or higher (looks like it could), you're talking a pretty big jump in value from 62 that would easily offset the...
XF40, concerned about color and green crud.
64? I suppose I could guess 63-66, but since that's 90% of the population of 82-S, it wouldn't be a very risky guess.
I agree on all accounts. I'd have no problem seeing an MS63 strap on this coin, and wouldn't be surprised to see MS64, but I'm grading on vibes...
Save your time, money, and gas. This is not a rare coin, it won't sell for under spot at auction (if real), and that's before the buyer's fee....
Standard grading from a photo disclaimers notwithstanding, I've seen GSA CCs that look like that on the obverse graded 64. This looks like a...
There are a lot of coins that sort of fit the VAM 5 description. The date on this one is too far to the left to fall into that category, though,...
45. Very nice coin, luster of an AU, but too much wear.
Cleaned AU
Put me in the 30 camp.
I see a normal BU coin. What makes you think it is cleaned? Don't go strictly by color, as the white balance doesn't look accurate. 63RD, maybe?
Got my order in within a couple minutes of the green flag dropping. Browser hung up on the checkout page, but worked fine after I restarted it.
No real way of telling when it was made. Could have been as early as 1892, of course, but the two coins probably sold for about $5 for the pair...
If you're referring to the vertical bands of seemingly reflective areas on the reverse, these come from the feed fingers of the press gently...
I just had a LDS 21-D VAM 1N unicorn D (retained cud) cross my desk a little while ago. Very cool coin. They're out there.
