<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 8536360, member: 4920&quot;]You mean on an 1895 Morgan Dollar with a removed mint mark that had the life beaten off it. You need to get it graded. As is, about all one can say is, you should probably get your money back. You need a TPG on it so everyone in your market, provided there even is one, can see where it stands. You know going in it&#039;s not going to straight-grade, but that&#039;s, of course, not the point. This is an altered coin. Let the market graders tell you about your market. Supposing, just at the worst end, they wouldn&#039;t touch this thing with a 10&#039; pole, that their label on it would be that utterly repulsive to them. You would at least have that documentation on your market for it. At a step up, it slabs &quot;Genuine Details,&quot; &quot;Erased Mint Mark,&quot; or otherwise &quot;Altered and Cleaned.&quot; You&#039;ve at least an honest market defined for it. If you&#039;re serious about valuing it, that&#039;s how I think I&#039;d proceed. If any coin deserves an opinion from a TPG, I think this one does. Lest, in my opinion, at least, you&#039;re pulling numbers out of a hat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
