<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7686141, member: 37839"]Just to cover discussion we’ve had before—when it gets to ultra gem Morgans, they will still have bagmarks. Here is one of the finest 1882s Morgans around. It grades MS 68 CAC. It is NOT MY COIN. Note that in the face of being an ultra Morgan, selling in the $4000-5000 range, there are a few bagmarks, die striations, and frost breaks. It is just the nature of the beast. One can’t compare them to modern coins grading MS 68 or 69. Their storage methods just invited contact with other coins. This example, once in a celebrated collection, is one of the finest Morgans ever. I probably would have graded it 68+, due to the strike, amazing luster, and outrageous eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1319888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1319889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
