<p>[QUOTE="KeyHunter, post: 25793179, member: 122558"]I just completed my mini Morgan Silver Dollar collection of ALL key dates and ALL Carson City business releases in circulated (a few VERY circulated) grades. The 1893-S pic'd here was my final piece, purchased from my local brick front PNG dealer. I bit the bullet and traded (sold) an 80's 1 oz gold bullion piece + cash to fill the last hole in my Morgan collection. My limited budget forced me to lower grades for the 1893 S Poor/Fair/Good range and it was very difficult, over a long search period and loosing two auctions by seconds to find something somewhat attractive with a compromise for some detail (some Fair and below were practically flat and detail-less) despite being CAC sticker'd and compromising on something that may not have been ridiculously cleaned. A leading FAIR contender was almost worn flat, detail and date faint-at-best but original surface and more expensive due to a CAC. If I was gonna pay THIS much for a coin I compromised for detail and some possible past cleaning. [ATTACH=full]1646108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1646109[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
