<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 4648272, member: 17557&quot;]The rest of the coins in the post were obviously cleaned to me, but I absolutely would not have been the wiser on this Morgan. Whatever you did...I&#039;m just going to go ahead and never buy coins from you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh gosh that is right horse-hockey! I really hope that is a misquote/mischaracterization of some sort because I have no idea what data--even anecdotal--could lead anyone to that conclusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>It should obviously be noted that with some series that opinion is absolutely true, e.g. Capped Bust Halves, Dahlonega- and Charlotte-minted gold, etc. But Morgans?! That&#039;s laughable.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hey [USER=89213]@Inspector43[/USER], I don&#039;t know if an old thread I wrote would be of much use to you, but here it is: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/exhibit-grading-the-morgan-dollar.115123/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/exhibit-grading-the-morgan-dollar.115123/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/exhibit-grading-the-morgan-dollar.115123/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I wrote this before PCGS Photograde was even a thing. It&#039;s similar in concept, but with descriptions of what to be looking for in each grade. It&#039;s not perfect, and some of my examples are questionable, but then again the same thing could be said with Photograde!</p><p><br /></p><p>Alrighty, so with those three coins you posted there, they all look subject to an older cleaning and should have &quot;details&quot; grades. I agree with your assessment of the 1900-O at AU-50 details. The 1900-P appears to have more details in the hair and breast feathers than the 1900-O, and though your photos are on the overexposed side, it does show some semblance of luster--I&#039;m cool with calling the 1900-P AU-55 details. My initial impression on the 1900-S was a VF-20, but sometimes VF-20 and VF-25 can be like splitting hairs, so I&#039;m cool with calling it a VF-25 details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
