Ah, but *what* 1886 Morgan? At the time, mintmark's were rarely even noticed by collectors. It could be a proof 1886 (p) or one of the semi-key...
Another reason might be that they need to go to a bank and get additional funds (but want to avoid 2 trips to the bank). I voted 4 hours, but...
This got bumped up on my feed recently due to some comment likes. Thought I'd bump it in the thread due to the excellent discussion about...
I'm aware. The mint made presentation sets as early as the 1804 sets, but I'm curious how proofs were packaged, marketed, & made available to...
Any thoughts on grade?
Thanks. I thought that looked like some kind of clashed or repunched die, but with the general wear wasn't sure it was PMD or not. I'll look for...

Book value on these is surprisingly high. With 2 holes punched & a major edge ding, I suspect that this is a less desirable piece than most, but...
Dime sized, Edward VII effigy on obverse with no legend. Reverse reads "ONE / CENT / 1902". ~17mm diameter (dime sized) and either heavily...
Well, I certainly wasn't planning on crossing it over or anything. I think the grade is accurate. And I was able to buy it at an AU55 price point....
It's common to find faked slabs that use correct codes. A forger just has to search auctions or listings to find a coin that will match what...

Anyone else? Revealing soon...

Picked this out of a dealer's bulk Morgans yesterday. I liked the reverse die break (Star to ONe). But, something is strange about the coin. No...
