<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2394956, member: 1892&quot;]If you consider a Morgan, take to heart my mention of a raw example vs. a slabbed one. I feel your chances of buying a genuine example to be greatly enhanced by purchasing from a US dealer who tends to specialize in them, and your value for money should be considerably higher than a slabbed example.&nbsp; The early &#039;80&#039;s San Francisco coins, for example, are essentially not worth slabbing below MS65 due to their commonality in high grade. The same can be said of mid-1880&#039;s New Orleans issues, although their strikes tend to suffer by comparison. Neither are a &quot;red flag&quot; if found for sale raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>To illustrate, there are (to my knowledge) only 9 Morgan Dollars graded MS69 by PCGS. 8 of those 9 are either 1880-S or 1881-S. Just over 550 of their 610 MS68&#039;s are from 1879-1882 San Francisco mintages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
