[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 7631771, member: 5233"]One of my goals has always been to assemble a graded set of Morgan Dollars. Cost and just generally being overwhelmed as stopped me from starting seriously collecting my favorite series. I think it's time to start taking that seriously. I think the first place to start is by examining my raw collection and seeing if there are any coins in there "worthy" of being in such a collection. Coins I might want to one day have graded rather than buying another example. Here is one such coin. A common date 1881-S. I know, the 1881-S is widely available with stunning examples and this is not that fantastic...but this coin is very special to me. This is the very first Morgan I ever bought. I was probably 12 or 13 years old and this is the coin that made me fall in love with Morgan's. In my opinion, this coin is nice but has some noticeable flaws. Most obvious is the marks on the cheek. It has nice mirror fields and some frosting...but it's not enough to make it PL (I didn't do a great job capturing it in the photos). It's certainly PL-like. I would like your opinion on grade. I have a grade in my head...but I want to see what you guys think. [USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER], I'd love your opinion [B]Please note, I am not asking you to GTG. This coin is raw. So, I have no grade to reveal. I just want your opinions.[/B] [B] [img]https://i.imgur.com/BVIhnqo.jpg[/img][/B][/QUOTE]
