<p>[QUOTE="MAKECENTS, post: 1888490, member: 29930"]Thanks for your post very good beginner info. I too specialize in Morgans. When I stray I usually always find myself buying Morgans in the end. There is so much to collect in the series and so many ways to collect. Vams, keys ,low balls, ms,pl,dmpl, mint mark, mint issues,proofs. I would say one thing which I have learned about grading them, learn the luster. Know what a natural lustrous coin looks like and it will help in grading ms, au ,xf coins. The split from au58 to ms60+ was always tough for me and now I can say the more you hold and study the better you will be at grading. Go to coin shops and pull out a nice 5x magnifier and rotate the coin under indirect light. The rotating of the coin will help focus on picking up problems with the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
