AU-53? There seem to be a LOT of marks on that coin, but the actual wear seems minimal.
That Washington does not look plated. Prooflike coins started to become common in the early 90's due to a change in mint technology - they began...
Missed this one because I was too busy partying ;) But I would have guessed 58, and agree that this is an exceptional coin. Very nice,...
Whenever I try to decide if I should send a coin in, I have to weigh the costs. How much did I spend on the coin, and is it worth the $30 to send...
I was really hoping this was a joke thread. I thought to myself, "No way can this be real." But no, it's real:...
Based on some of the things the mint puts out, I wouldn't be surprised to see him behind the line!
I think you might have posted this in the wrong thread. This is your morgan in a bad slab thread ;)

I'm not sure how the Korean mint does/did things (I know that's your focus). The US mint used the nitric acid pickling method up until 1970....
Some of the original packaging is quite attractive and a fantastic presentation. I wouldn't ever think of taking it out of a package like this....
I wouldn't submit that coin unless I was convinced it would grade MS-67FS. And with that damage on the steps, it won't grade FS. I'd guess based...
This is very, very true. However, I still use guides and auction archives to guess what the other person might be willing to pay.
Yes, I agree that it would be VF. I use the PCGS Photograde app, here: https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Morgan/Grades Based on the surface...
I don't even know what you are talking about. Are these bullion pieces or medals or something?
I think I've posted this one before. This is something I'm very proud of: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
