<p>[QUOTE=&quot;micbraun, post: 24880278, member: 54036&quot;]I‘d buy a couple of common year Morgan dollars in VF, XF, AU, low MS, choice MS and gem MS - preferrably all certified by the same grading company.&nbsp; I‘d also get a book which explains how to grade US coins, e.g. the official ANA grading standards for US coins (7th edition). Now you can look at the coins in hand and see if the descriptions in the book are matching. Note that an AU58 is usually a much nicer coin than most low MS examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaning? Search online for pictures of certified Morgan dollars which are either cleaned, harshly cleaned or have other issues. You should notice a lack of luster, hairlines, discoloration, dull surfaces or similar problems. In the beginning it may be hard, but after a while it becomes obvious…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
