Post Your Morgan Dollars

Unquestionably. It is a very high eye appeal coin. How about sending it to NGC to see if it will cross as 65 PL star, specifying minimum 65 PL. I think it gets a star for eye appeal.

I had raised the point of "LAR" in PM; it scared me at first.

 

I knew that

 

Here are some of mine

 

My latest. Just misses being a $2000 coin by a hair, but not quite there.

 

I see that most of the 3rd party graders are weak these days. In the past they were more stricter or tighter in grading. From the picture of your coin doesn't look MS66+, but again it could be the pic . Other than that I LOVE Morgan Silver Dollar.

 

OH please. If any coin looks 66+, this one does. I would not have bought it if it didn't. It is so bright that it is hard to get a picture of it where it doesn't glare. It actually looks close to 67.

 

Look what I found under the rainbow! Love the colors

 

Very pretty!

Welcome to the neighborhood, Jackie!

Thanks Chris

 

Sexy girl! Neon green just about the most coveted color a Morgan can have. Nice pickup

 

Sorry to rain on your parade, but PCGS would probably grade that 66. Same goes for mine. Although, it is a very nice coin.

 

An 82s in 67 is around $800, not $2k

Gonna go for a bean?...

 

Sorry I wasn't trying to put you down or anything. Just a thought of mine. So what you pay for that coin ??

Welcome to CT, Jackie! Saunter over to Introductions and meet the lodge members.

 

Yeah, generally. If it were PL, it would be a 2k coin. It is close, but not quite. I really love your coin-- nice strike, and great eye appeal. I am going to try and bean mine.

 

This is where we run into the (large) difference between evaluating a coin from harsh digital imagery, and in-hand under softer lighting. It would break your eyes to spend as much time looking at coins under lighting suitable for camera work as under the lighting you'd normally use. It's two completely different sets of rules.

First, take everything on that coin which looks "black," and forget it exists. A digital camera "sees" minor differences in surface finish which you wouldn't notice in-hand as glaring differences in reflectivity, and they're completely overexaggerated in the resulting image.

Morgandude's coin has two marks on it - the vertical and horizontal ones behind the mouth - and nothing else. The mark under the M in AMERICA might be visible to the naked eye, but only maybe. That, and near-PL fields, makes for an easy 66+. If those marks were anywhere else but on the cheek, it's 67+ or better.

 

Ah ha. I want even thinking about PL. Those images threw me off. Solid for the grade though which is why I suggested the bean
