OK, That is just wrong. And so by the way is the grade that NGC gave this coin. I don't know why I bought this POS. I don't want this POS. This coin sucks. At this point, I consider it the worst coin in my collection, the worst coin I have ever purchased, and the worst graded coin I have ever seen by NGC. For those of you that got this right or guessed MS67, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Or you can share in the shame that I have for buying this POS coin.

Now here is the POS grade on this POS coin. FWIW, I grade this coin as an MS64 by NGC's standards and MSPOS by my standards.

 

Everybody is entitled to a bad day.

 

I guess there drinking more at the grading companys. When you look at hundreds of coins a day and if your coin is the last one to be graded there give your coin a higher grade because the booze got to them ,and they are burned out by looking at so many coins already anyway. The Morgan was overgraded by at least three grades to me I went with MS62 and I was drunk when i graded the coin

If you hate it so much you can give it to me...a POS toned Morgan is better than not having a toned Morgan at all.

Serious though, I am shocked that they gave this coin a MS66...I just don't see how they could do that, even on the loosest of grading days. That is really amazing to me. I felt my selection of MS64 was a little on the loose side, but WOW.

 

wow, that really moves my morgans into a better grade if that thing is a 66!

 

That's a 66? So the scale goes to 75 now? I figured it for an MS63 but since it has that toning assumed they went for a 65 like I said... I don't think it's worthy of a 65 but assumed that, well, you know, market grading and all.

MS66? Insanity.

 

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

I stick with my grade of 65.
