<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C G Memminger, post: 2677406, member: 71506&quot;]I bought a Morgan some years ago in an off-slab with a crazy MS-69.&nbsp; Coin appeared to free of any derogatories, and looked like a 65 with an outside shot at 66.&nbsp; I paid low UNC money for it, then Sent it to California..came back 65.&nbsp; Was worth it, as catching the 5, as with many Morgans, means a significant jump in value.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there was the coin I did not crack, after speaking to legendary John Albanese.&nbsp; EBay purchase of 1891-CC in PCGS 64+ with green bean.&nbsp; Check your sheets to see huge jump between 4 and 5 for this coin.&nbsp; I was familiar with the bean, but wanted to go to the source.&nbsp; Did not expect JA to answer phone...but...found him to be most gracious and willing to edumacate me.&nbsp; Can&#039;t recall exactly what he said, but it was clear he did not think cracking was a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
