Stopped by our local flea market today and picked up this Morgan. Guess the Grade, Price, and VAM. (VAMing is still too hard for me [emoji4]). Also saw a 1904 O Morgan in a PNGS Slab, had a cert number. Any idea of company info? Internet was no help.
How can we guess the grade when it isn't graded? It's hard for me to tell since it is in the 2x2, but I don't see any luster on it. Chris
I did a GTG to compare my opinion with yours. There definitely is luster. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk
Consider any coin in one of these self slabs as a raw coin that would likely grade far below the lie on the label. OP coin is AU
So I got this coin for $45. First time with a Morgan in hand to Grade, how do I differentiate AU and MS? In hand my eye sees MS, but I am new at this so my grade might be off. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk
I can agree with AU but still feel the coin was cleaned. The lack of luster and the small dark spots make me think the coin was not stable after the cleaning.
I think the luster is muted by the 2 x 2. Hair curl over the ear looks perfect. Eagles breast well defined. I would give it at least ms 60.
It looks over-dipped in the first pictures. The next show a little more luster, but the cheek does make me wonder if it rode in somebody's pocket. Really need to see it in hand to be sure.
I would take it out of the holder, but I don't have any dollar 2x2 and I want to keep it safe. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk
