GTG: Peace, Morgan, and Lincoln

Details what, everyone? Cleaned? Damaged? BTW, it got a straight grade. They all did.

I thought this was the VAM 6B...?

 

The Peace Dollar is 66 all day.

The Morgan probably made 65 easily, 66 at a stretch. It's an interesting coin, in the VAM-6 family, I *think* VAM-6B with the double clash. Look for the clashed "n's" next to the neck - 6VNA is a later die state with them worn off and the die starting to sink. If the n's are there it's 6B.

I don't really think the Lincoln is original. The border between "bright" and "dark" has the appearance of flaking plating in too many places.

 

To me the color is way off giving it the improper cleaned look

 

The Lincoln cent just has that look, like it was spray painted gold and then it circulated about a month and the gold paint at the highest points has rubbed off. To me it is a low AU, AU50 - AU53 if it's not UNC. If it is UNC then I could not see it going above MS61.

 

Peace 66
Morgan 65+
Lincoln 61 rb not a series I ever buy tho so it's a pure guess

Well at least i was close on the lincoln. Other two must have been graded on a monday, when he had a hangover

 

I actually agree with your grade guesses. Dead on.

 

Ludicrous undergrades, or your images are deceptive. And your images are excellent. No wonder they both got Gold Beans.

And I still don't like the Lincoln. The delineations are too sharp, especially at the cheekbone and beard. Doesn't look "worn," it looks "flaked."

 

The images are accurate on the dollars. I'm not hiding anything and I agree they are both MS65 or MS64. That Peace Dollar is in a newish holder, too. Perhaps from 2 years ago. The Lincoln was apparently good enough to not only CAC, but gold CAC! It has the luster and color in hand of a MS coin, but too many marks. I actually thought it was undergraded at AU55.

 

My only worry about the Peace Dollar were the fine lines across the obverse; they're on the coin, not the slab, so I'd have believed 65 for it as a result. And I've seen far worse than that Morgan in a 65 slab.

 

Seriously? Wow.

Even in my infantile knowledge of grading, I would have snatched up that Morgan and the Peace in a heartbeat. I hope they were priced at those grades?

Even if not, you bought some *very* nice coins!

 

The Morgan I bought off eBay for $62 and sent it to CAC myself. The Peace dollar I paid $200 for. It was already gold CAC'd but I couldn't pull my money out fast enough. The Lincoln I bought for $21 and sent to CAC myself. Hard to believe, but I got 2 gold CAC's in one order!

 

You ain't lyin.' I'd have elbowed you out of the way for it.

On top of everything else, a Peace Dollar with toning that pleasing is a rare bird. You'll do all right on them all.

 

That's a heavy bag IMO....even with the CAC sticker, which completely blows my mind.

 

Damn. Somebody was robbed on that peace dollar! At $200 you're darn lucky you saw it first
