<p>[QUOTE="jimmy-bones, post: 1205603, member: 2794"]First off, thank you all. Just about all of you confirmed my original thoughts that the coin was undergraded; and if I ever plan on selling my raw coins, I'll be sure to offer them here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ...most of the grade estimates were more agressive than my standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC assigned a 62PL grade to this coin. When I purchased it in 2007, I though it was a dead ringer for a 63 DPL. Values for GSAs tend to jump quite a bit for DPL Morgans in GSA holders, and they even jump between grades, more so than non-GSA Morgans. This one IMO should at least see 63PL; and that price jump would more than cover the grading fee. Heck, I still think it could go DPL, based on the refelctive distance test. </p><p><br /></p><p>The blue coloring you are seeing, is really just my camera and lighting conditions. The marks on the face many of you referred to; I call frost breaks. There are bag marks and dings throughout, of course, but the frostbreaks surrounding them accentuate the bag marks and lessen the overall eye appeal. If you tilit this coin and look at it on an angle, you'd see what I mean. The frostbreaks are not "into" the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, If I review all grade estimates and throw my opinion in there; the probability of a higher grade is close to 100%. If I go this route, would it be beter to pull off the grade NGC assigned before sending it back to them? (That is, if they see the 62PL they previously assigned, will they even consider another?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
