<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Klunky, post: 332831, member: 12106&quot;]Hi.&nbsp; This is my first post to this forum.&nbsp; I lurked here for a while and finally registered a few weeks ago.&nbsp; What a great website.&nbsp; </p><p>I&#039;m finally posting because I think I have a question worth asking.&nbsp; I was at my parents&#039; house last night and my wife started sorting through some old jewelry that belonged to my great-grandmother.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t paying much attention until she pulled out a Mogan dollar.&nbsp; It had a hole drilled at the top for a necklace...you guessed it...right around where the mint mark would be.&nbsp; Being away from home, I didn&#039;t have my redbook with me, so when I saw the 1893 date, I didn&#039;t think much of it.&nbsp; I have maybe 50-60 Morgans, but most are common dates.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until this morning that I bothered to look up the value for the &#039;93 dollars.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is my question.&nbsp; If I send it to NGC or PCGS, is there any chance they&#039;d be able to tell which mint it came from without a mark?&nbsp; Are there distinct enough die varieties to be able to tell from other clues on the coin?&nbsp; One more thing worth mentioning...the hole may be a bit to the left of center, and I don&#039;t see any hint of a mint mark which made me think maybe there was nothing there to begin with.&nbsp; Who knows.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to snap some pics later.&nbsp; Now, I just need to drive over there and get it, so I can compare it to some of my Morgans.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t pay really close attention last night since I didn&#039;t know how valuable it was.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS--I&#039;ve been collecting coins off and on since I was 6, so please don&#039;t think I&#039;m going to post a single question and bail.&nbsp; I&#039;m actively collecting again and here to stay.&nbsp; Thanks in advance for any and all advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
