1882-S MS66 PL Morgan

I just picked up this 1882-S MS66 PL Morgan graded by NGC in an old holder and was thinking about submitting it to CAC. What are your thoughts? Think it would get the green bean?

Yes, it should. I think it is a gorgeous coin.

 

It's a nice clean coin. I think it'll CAC.

 

I agree with the 66 but don't feel it will get a bean. Pretty coin.

 

CAC is basically a money grab IMO. Save your money for another nice coin.

 

The CAC coins do seem to bring a little more and there aren't many proof like CAC coins in this grade, so I thought it might be worth it.

 

Looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks!

 

It's a lovely coin, but I would say that it is at the lower end of 66 coins. I wouldn't expect that it would get the bean.

 

Very nice coin. Can't say one way or the other about CAC.

 

Oh Lord!! The "hairlines" are probably scratches on the slab. Also, in case one does not know, Morgans do get contact marks from other Morgans in mint bags. I see no hairlines on this coin. It is appropriately graded in my opinion.

 

I see what he's talking about...but they are not visible in all the photos. My guess is, they are on the case and not the coin. It'd be hard to tell for sure without seeing the coin in hand. I see them in pics 3 and 4 along the lower jaw and cheek. I do not see them at all in pics 1 and 2.

I think the coin will CAC.

 

So you agree that this is not a "damaged" coin, and definitely a gem Morgan that has considerable eye appeal, and probably deserving of a CAC sticker, and appropriately graded? I was wondering if I needed a new prescription for my glasses.

 

Yes...that is what I think (not the part about the glasses). I think the marks Doug is seeing is either on the holder or being made to look much worse due to the lighting. If that was not the case, I would think they would be visible in all photos.

 

That was what I thought, and said. I think it is probably has hairline scratches on the holder, as many slabs get, particularly if they are in contact with other slabs. The glasses are another story--due for a prescription soon. lol

 

They also can get contact from being wiped with a cloth...just like the coin itself.

 

Of course they can. I wipe off my slabs occasionally, especially the older ones. However, I do use auto wax to take off the scratches.(before someone gets crazy about this--I polish the slabs lightly, not the coins).

 

I am denying that. That coin has NO hairlines that are discernible from those photographs. If you see marks, they are typical Morgan contact marks. The photos are not that great in terms of contrast.
