<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3831244, member: 89393&quot;]I&#039;ll never get that picayune in this hobby. Thanks to posts from people like [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] and [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER], though, I&#039;ve learned to distinguish coins I should consider from those that have been futzed with. I bought another member&#039;s book on grading, but, while useful, it appeared much too pedantic (sorry, there, no offense intended) for my simple needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still looking for a 1904-S Morgan—about 15 months, now—but can&#039;t stomach the idea of paying thousands for a slabbed copy that often doesn&#039;t meet expectations for the asking price. I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s behind whether it was owned by Al Capone, or the people at the mint got drunk at a party on the day that copy was struck rendering it slightly odd and therefore worth hundreds more. I&#039;ll leave those kinds for the guys with the real big bucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
