<p>[QUOTE="banny, post: 142859, member: 4279"]this is a legitimate question guys,so please bear with me. i went on ngc's site and clicked on the eliasberg us collection. it shows examples of some rare and valuble coins.one is an 1891-cc morgan graded ms-68 pl. if you look at the photo of the coin,there are strange looking spots of what i can only describe as discoloration on both the obverse and reverse. i admit to being not real knowledgable about grading but i don't understand how a coin with these marks can grade that high. i know uncirculated does not always mean shiny and i know how coins can be wrongly cleaned to make them look new. i can't help thinking that if i submitted a common date morgan to ngc that looked like that it would be bodybagged. would like to learn more about grading but maybe i just don't have the knack. still enjoy coins nonetheless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
