How NOT to Cherry Pick~ I found this post on "How NOT to Cherry Pick~" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Coin Talk Thread of the...
I'd go along with MS-62. Good solid Morgan with the classic NGC Ring. :thumb: Take Care Ben
No, I just checked www.coinzip.com and started looking at the 1831s one after the other... :)
As has been discussed, a coin with a weak strike will grade lower in the MS grades. If the same planchet (prefection) were to have received a...
It kinda looks like a scratch to me.
Good answer and insight. Thanks :)
When the OP said "MS-62ish" on a weakly struck coin I automatically figured all the factors were ideal for perfection or near prefection --...
When each of us (and even if we grade just somewhat) look at a coin with purchase in mind do we notice the Technical aspects first or the Market...

Get a magnifying glass and look at the horizontal bars on the shield of the coins reverse. Count down four or five from the top, kinda on the...
Very nice coin Speedy. If I'm not mistaken you have quite a collection of Franklins. If you get a chance post them sometimes, I'd love to see...
Had a dental appointment. There are other's here who know the same (BHD) things, I think they're sandbagging, LOL... :D
F-15, Harshly Cleaned, O-110; center dot between crossbars 4&5, left shield corner is decidedly outside the Eagles body & Top Arrowhead - last A...
Most true, some coins (years/varieties) are know for having a weak strike, so just trying to get the 'best of the rest' is the avenue I've been...
