[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 26629616, member: 90692"]Found some info for you, but keep in mind that grading from pictures is woefully inadequate. Both are from the Philadelphia Mint and both are relatively common and easily procured, as in: not scarce or rare. Coin A looks about AU58/58+, Coin B has much nicer surfaces and may earn a “Proof-like” attribute by a TPG (NGC, PCGS, ANACS). PCGS has a AU58+ listed for about $80.00, and would not be worth the grading/authentication/encapsulation costs, nor would you get those costs back if you sold the coin, imo. Coin B, however, could earn a MS63PL designation because the surfaces are superior relative to Coin A. PCGS lists this as about $225.00, which is at the low end of the value range used to determine the worth of costs to grade, authenticate and encapsulate. Additional costs are shipping and insurance for the 2-way process. I hope this helps. This research I’m offering is how I would apply it to my own collection of over 150 Morgans and Peace dollars, so I hope you take it as a honest evaluation and aids you toward any decisions you make.
