<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 121472, member: 5233&quot;]Hey guys, I have a couple coins that I would like some grade opinions on.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been in the coin loup for several years now and my grading ability has gotten a bit rusty (and it was never that good in the first place).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I would like an opinion on these 3 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a 1881-S Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; I know its a common date but it was the first Morgan I ever bought (I have about about 30 now) so its my favorite.&nbsp; It also has a hint of reflectiveness in it that makes it almost prooflike (just a little).&nbsp; I have often wondered if it was one of the early ones produced or something.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t doesn&#039;t appear to have been cleaned or dipped or anything from what I can tell.&nbsp; Anyway, I have always suspected it would grade about MS-60 but no better.&nbsp; Any thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/morgan1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/morgan2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a 1892-S Barber Dime.&nbsp; Its kind of funny, I don&#039;t remember ever buying this coin (although I did buy a partial collection for like $40 so it may have been hidding in their under the wrong slot).&nbsp; But, I always did tend to buy key and semikey coins in lower grades to make my collection a little more rarer even though the value doesn&#039;t increase a lot (its the only way for a young collector to get these coins-lol).&nbsp; Anyway, I&#039;m by no means an expert at grading Barber Dimes at all so I won&#039;t even guess with this one.&nbsp; What do you guys think.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/barber1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/Barber2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, this is my 1854 Type 2 $1 Gold Piece.&nbsp; My grandmother gave me a couple small tins of coins that her father had saved, they hadn&#039;t even been open since the 1930s or so.&nbsp; Inside where a bunch of common coins, but this one was wrapped inside a small piece of wax paper.&nbsp; I notice it does have some scratch marks on it (which are MUCH more obvious on the photos than the coin) and I have wondered if the coin was cleaned.&nbsp; It sort of looks like it might have been but with the coin being stored for so long I kind of doubt it.&nbsp; It has been scratched by something though, especially on the left side of the obverse.&nbsp; So, I have no idea how to grade the coin due to those marks.&nbsp; So, any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/gold1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/gold2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks and I hope the photos are good enough!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
