Lehigh, Morgandude....any thoughts on what to look for in the 1882-S series ?

 

You have me totally confused, why would you want an AU58 1882-S Morgan Dollar?

 

If you want an 82S.... get a good one. Here’s mine. WWAYYY under your limit:

 

I just figured it would be cheap. Sometimes good coins in AU-58.

 

I see a 65 still being bid at $175 or so and a 67 CAC going for just under $800.

The 66 or 66+ splits them more or less ?

 

Nice old rattler's.

 

What is cheap? An excellent AU 58 is gonna cost you more than this one I just picked up for 50.

 

Pick, the 1882-S is so plentiful that I really don't need to look at AU-58, on second thought. But alot of coins that are very pricey in MS cheapen up alot when I goto AU-58.

For me, I wanted to spend a few hundred but I couldn't get MS65 for some of the Morgans I was looking at for certain years. So I either had to drop down to the low-60's...pay more....or goto AU-58.

 

Time to revive this thread! I know it is just a raw common date 1884-P, but I picked this up from my LCS over the weekend and took photos. I just went to VamWorld and spent some time and was able to come up with VAM 9 - Very Far Date EDS. It has all the die scratches in exactly the right places, including the one piercing the eye lid and the pitted eagle on the reverse that I think you can see in the picture.

 

Might be a better set of pics. Top of the red lines are the PUPs for the die scratches for the Vam 9. The foot of the 4 is slightly doubled. Only one of the die scratches on the reverse shows (top of red line), but the pitting in the eagle shows.

 

Picked this one up recently

 

Nice is it certified or raw?

 

GSA hoard. Encapsulated, not certified. I understand that they can now be certified without cracking the GSA holders.

 

Yes, they leave the GSA holder alone and put a blue ribbon with the grade around it.

If you put some close-up pics here, the Morgan experts can tell you what the likely grade will be and if it is worth it to submit to a TPG. Most of these GSAs are graded 62-63.
