Unlike most other Morgans from the S mint, this date is not known for being well struck. Given that, I would say that it is conceivable that the...
This is one thing upon which you and I agree completely.
Well it would help if you could be more specific in regard to these grading experiments. Anyone would be foolish to even expect such an...
I said AU because it appears there may be minor wear on the coin, particularly the hair. But given the pics, one cannot be sure. And there are...
I rather think he's already cleaned it Hobo. You can compare your coin to those pictured - HERE - but it doesn't match up very well. Although...

Proof is a method of manufacture, coins struck from specially prepared planchets with specially prepared dies. And yes, normally they make a lot...
That's easy.Send your story along with the coin to Collector's Clearinghouse. (address is in every edition of Coin World) If it is what you think...
clembo - circulation coinage grading 67 is not something you just go out and find - they simply don't exist in any meaningful numbers. Yeah , I...
