Here's a sample of what I think is a good New Orleans Strike: [IMG] [IMG] It's slabbed as a (generous because of the strike) MS63PL....
How does it compare to this one? [IMG] [IMG] The one pictured, IMO, is probably XF+, not reaching AU. The luster is worn on the true...
There's a little spot on the obverse - that "J" shaped mark in front of the neck - which shows there's luster under whatever is on the rest. I'm...
I just acquired 1 '79S Morgan which arrived looking completely lifeless on the obverse. It's a uniform gray with only a couple places (one or two...
Caveat: I'm the barest rookie at this collecting stuff. Having said that, one reason I'm concentrating on Morgans for my first collection is my...
If they sell, we'll know why. :) Does anybody remember the story from years ago about the guy who put a lockbox below a night deposit slot, and...

The '85 is a Philadelphia coin, slabbed (NTC :( ) MS65DMPL. It's a genuine DMPL, reflects 8"+, but I dunno about 65. Of course I can't call...
I considered the "prooflike" stuff to be hyperbole, and didn't consider it when I decided what to bid. Here's an '83O I see as a weak strike:...
The rest of the details are admittedly sharp. I'm a sucker for clean cheekbones and this one's got 'em. :) Trouble is, the worn area on the...
Maybe, maybe not. That's (IMO) at the very top of the market for that coin. Nice strike, but the scan (scanners don't lie :) ) reveals marks on...
I recently snagged a Morgan on Ebay. Here's the pic, saved from the auction: [IMG] It is, in fact, in an NGC holder, graded MS64. However,...
I've been "accumulating" for thirty years. It's only become "collecting" for the last couple.
