<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 6235034, member: 37839"]If you think they look the same, do not collect raw Morgans,until you learn the difference between cleaning, and bag marks. To my eye, there is a world of difference. Contact marks are superficial dings, whereas cleaning marks are multi directional, and one can actually see spots where metal has been eroded. Just one look at your coin, shows a well-cleaned, dull looking coin. My suggestion would be to purchase a few certified MS 61-63 CERTIFIED coins, if you want to buy Morgans. Pick inexpensive common dates, such as 1881s, 1880s etc that can be had cheaply and attractively. Once you have a few true MS coins, you will begin to recognize that look immediately in hand. Better to buy a couple of good quality, certified MS coins, than ones that have no more than melt value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
