<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3364291, member: 84595"]Hi. You are correct. I'm reading this on 2-15-2019. I'm very serious and have to agree with Ike Skywalker. Coin Talk should be educational not critical. I have been collecting coins for 64 years and it is a learning experience. I hope one day you have many complete Morgan Dollar sets in various conditions and have the opportunity to see many top graded coins along with every grade from poor to the top condition rarities. In 64 years I have bought and sold tens of thousands of Morgan and Peace dollars, have 11 complete sets of Morgans without the 1895 (have seen 3 1895 Proofs in a nearby county) and 12 sets of Peace dollars with many extras. My suggestion is read the various Morgan and Peace dollar books on the market. Read about VAM's and study VamWorld.com. I have 6 different grading guide books written by various authorities on grading. I have coins graded by the ANA in the early 1970's and coins graded by many of the TPG's throughout the years. I just sent 12 of my 1893-S Morgan dollars to SEGS for encapsulation and subjective, suggestive grading by Larry Briggs. I find that SEGS graded stricter than many of the PCGS and NGC coins I have. GRADING is subjective and suggestive anyway by humans so I wanted the strongest capsule for my coins and if SEGS gets it right on grading, it's a plus. Keep collecting Morgan and Peace dollars. Never give up no matter what anyone says or suggests. But remember study and read. You will learn History, you will learn minting processes, you will learn about luster, you will learn about wear, You will learn from the best authorities. Happy Coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
