Hey guys. A guy Ive done business with on other collectables has these 2 Morgans, a 78 and an 82, Im thinking of buying. Bosth GSA w original boxes. Hes saying theyre MS64. Now I know that without TPG its often a best educated guess on a grade, but Im trying to bargain and would like some other opinions. Im thinking 62/63 tops. I think the 82 looks a little better in hand but thats hard to translate. Anyway, what would yall think for grade and price? Thanks for lookin!!!!
The 1878 looks better struck, with better luster, and fewer marks (MS-63). I would give the 1882 a MS-62.
I am in the 61-62 camp. Very baggy, with nice luster. Certainly not higher than 62, given that the hits are in prominent places. The ‘82 is marginally better than the ‘78, but not a full grade different.
