I figured this one could be its own thread. Part of my recent ICG sub had a colorful American Samoa Proof Quarter. ICG gave it a PR 69+ grade (the...
Here are some photos of the Morgans that were confirmed authentic: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I just looked it up now. It looks like it should be a grade higher but I'm not sold on the Full Bell Lines (mine does not deserve the designation...
And the answer is .... MS 66 (which I think is fair) [ATTACH]
Will let this run a bit longer so get your guesses in :)
Please guess the grade on this Franklin. No cheating either but checking your answer after guessing is fine. :D [IMG] [IMG]
Very interesting and well written! Thanks for sharing!
Exactly on the 4/15 expected date the email arrived with grades and that the order has been shipped! Now that is impressive given my experiences...
It's probably the photo, but like others, I'm seeing altered/unusual surfaces. If the surfaces are ok, then it might be a slider (either 58 or...
A real error would be valuable. This one looks off (like the alibaba fakes) but I will wait for those with more experience to offer their...

That's interesting; something I had not seen before today.
I was looking it up after my guess and was surprised to see MS 61. Zooming in, I saw two areas that appeared to have scratches that might be a...
MS 63 Closed 3 …the photo does make the coin look “sharp” enough to be a proof (but I don’t have much experience with these so that could be wrong...
I'm going conservative at MS 64 ....looks like a clean cheek and nice fields but the luster potentially held it back from gem
I am thinking it is also something the mint did to cause this. I just looked at several Peace Dollars at auction and the photos looked good...
I have seen that type of toning on Peace Dollars before and it is considered "original" or "market acceptable" by the grading companies. I am not...
It would be nice to hear from someone that knows Peace Dollars better but I have also heard about the planchets being different from Morgans. That...
You're on a streak! Nice find!
