Thank you! I figured it would be an interesting thread and felt I needed to follow through after mentioning the term on one of @geekpryde great...
Got it; I think commercial sounds find. The term "Market graded" was probably not as prevalent back then.
Still 4-1
I can make a case for the 79-S being the best among these Morgans. It was also the least expensive. The lack of a star and it being NGC was part...
Thanks! In terms of taking a loss, it all depends on the price you paid and the market at the time you go to sell. What worked against me (and...
@Lehigh96 (ignoring the steps) what made you call it a 65 as opposed to a 66? Is it the "orange peel" surfaces (as kSigSteve calls it)?
MS 65 FS ...not quite up to a 66 but the five steps are there (unless you are that NGC grader) ....in terms of twist, I'm guessing you ended up...
It's "commercial" on these ACG slabs, meaning that it is a commercial grade. I don't think circulation makes sense for an UNC coin.
Everyone definitely has their preferences and the coin isn't terrible, especially if one did not pay as much as I did! However, the break in the...
I forgot about "commercial" completely :banghead: ....thanks to those that reminded me :)
I guessed MS 64 and Accugrade (your clue about the TPG gave it away to me) before the reveal. I think the luster looks good, so not sure why they...
It was a combination of the luster being a bit muted, the colors being somewhat muted, and me having seen (and owned) nicer examples of this date....
And we finish out with two more Morgans. This Morgan was a date that is less common for toners and it had a nice TrueView picture. As mentioned...
This is a bit of a special case. The loss was the entire cost, around $150, but that is due to me using it as a giveaway prize on an Instagram...
Probably the worst of my duds this year was the Morgan below. I watched this same coin sell for about $200 more than I paid and that sale was in a...
As alluded to in the top 10 thread, I did have some "duds" this year. These were coins sold in 2024 where I took a hit or at best broke even. Some...
@geekpryde I enjoyed this thread. It is good to prune and from what I see, I think you made the right calls on all of those coins.
4-1 in favor of Battle Creek ....any other votes?
@Vess1 that one looks special even from the photos and by your description, I believe it is lovely in hand!
It is nice when tax is eliminated for coins (although the above $1k threshold for tax-free does hurt the beginners and small buyers, of whom there...
