First, welcome to the neighborhood, Kaycee! Let's put it this way. If your coin isn't a fake, then it was damaged very badly after it left the...
It looks like it has been "spooned"......PMD! Next time, try not to put the coin on a reflective surface like that plastic(?) lid, and be sure to...
Empty or full? Chris
Seriously? If you can't teach the raccoons how to properly handle coins, then you must take away their privileges. Leaving coins on your patio in...
Or, maybe it was due to his largesse. Chris
Of course you can! I didn't say anything about the value. Chris
Once a coin has been plated, it's condition is now reduced to zilch. Chris
Welcome to the neighborhood, Colton! Look at it this way......If you got pawned off from one person to another for 34 years, you would probably...
Taking a photo through a loupe doesn't help show reflectivity. The right side of the obverse does not appear to be PL to me. Like Mike said, it...
I can't answer that! All of my Morgans were certified (NGC, PCGS & old ANACS) so I can't compare them to raw coins. Chris
Well, I just reviewed the NGC requirements for these labels, and it seems that they are only available for the 2006 & 2011 coins. Hmm! Chris

I had quite a few '83-O toners, but I've sold nearly all of my Morgans. The 1896 just happened to be the last one for which I kept sales info and...
It probably happens more than you think! My advice? Any time you lose to a higher bidder for a "Gem Anything" put it on your search list...
It doesn't matter that you have owned it a long time or not. Some of the coins in the older slabs were graded accurately and some were not. If you...
The numismatic value of the 1883-O and the 1896 are about the same in comparable grades. When it comes to toning, it depends on how many people...
I believe Oregon Trail Savings was referring to the 1960's releases by the Treasury Department. Most of the Morgan dollars from New Orleans, San...
I believe the toning is NT. I've had a few graded by NGC that look very similar, one of which is shown below. This 1896 MS64 sold for $100 a...
If it was silver, it would be a proof with the San Francisco (S) mintmark. NOTE: There is also a clad proof from San Fran. Chris
Machine doubling. Chris
