<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 323670, member: 3726"]I think he suggested a local dealer so you could see some MS graded Morgans in hand. That is vastly different than trying to buy using pictures only. If you can get the dealer to show you a PCGS/NGC graded 64 morgan - you will notice the frostiness on the coin. You do not see that in the auction you missed on. Seeing coins in hand and talking to an expert will be very helpful - hopefully your local dealer will be as nice as mine. My dealer lined morgans graded and ungraded on the counter. You could then plainly see which ones were cleaned. He removed those - then we looked at each coin that was left. There was another cleaned one in the group - you could tell under the glass the frostiness just was not as good as the others. It was a very good learning experience for me and my father. By the way to me the coin in the aution looked like shiny silver without the mint frostiness - plus I thought I saw hairlines on it. The more you learn the less likely your are to make a mistake on ebay. Just my humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
