Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2098199, member: 73489"]Just Acquired (& Need Help): OK, I got my coin....lo and behold, it's not only an MS-67 1879-S Morgan Silver Dollar, but it's also got CAC. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Pictures attached, PLEASE chime in Morgan experts as I have a 5-day return if you think I overpaid or if it's (grossly) overgraded (I don't but I'm not a grading or MSD expert). 1 Big Problem: The coin has some damage to the lower part of the slab (I took some pics but it's tough to see).  My major fear would be that the coin and/or slab are counterfeit, but given it's an older green PCGS slab and also has CAC, I lean against that. However, if these things are sonically sealed and airtight I am wondering if that isn't the case and if maybe I should send it back to PCGS for repair (if possible).  I don't detect any bumps running my fingers along the bottom, the damage appears to be INTERNAL but I'm a bit wary.  Slab experts, help !! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Sorry to be a worrywart, but I never paid this much before in terms of premium for a coin so I'm a bit cautious.  I think it's a nice coin but the 'cloudy plastic fissures' scare me for either the counterfeit or air situation.[/QUOTE]
