<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1207065, member: 13650&quot;]Did you get a red book yet?&nbsp; I can understand your excitement to jump in the game but you&#039;ll at least want to do some reading in the red book first.&nbsp; There&#039;s a good read at the beginning of the book to get you up to speed a bit.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then there&#039;s mintages for all US coins as well.&nbsp; You&#039;ll find that none of those Morgans are rare.&nbsp; You could buy as many as you wanted in that shape, every day, and not make much of a dent in the population.&nbsp; &nbsp; They made 6 million of the 82-O.&nbsp; That&#039;s not rare.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most wouldn&#039;t even call that a low mintage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Assuming it&#039;s genuine to begin with, it looks like the 82-O could be a MS-63, maybe pass as a 64.&nbsp;&nbsp; Look at some 66&#039;s in top tier holders like NGC and PCGS.&nbsp;&nbsp; You won&#039;t see scuff marks like that in the fields or all over the cheek.&nbsp; It does have great luster.&nbsp;&nbsp; $50 is probably right around where it should be.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most likely a fair price for what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anybody takes SGS slabs seriously.&nbsp; You can&#039;t.&nbsp; &nbsp; The ANA set standards that many people think NGC and PCGS are struggling to keep up with themselves.&nbsp; &nbsp; SGS gives out unrealistically high, practically unachievable grades like candy.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you can ignore the label, grade the coin in the slab for what it is (or close) and pay based on that, then I wouldn&#039;t be afraid to buy them.&nbsp; &nbsp; But there isn&#039;t much point when you could pretty much buy the same coin in a top TPG slab for the same price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Sometimes there might be a SGS bargain out there just from people ignoring the SGS slab though!&nbsp;&nbsp; We&#039;ve seen that happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
