<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1455732, member: 37839"]Please post pictures, as I find it hard to believe that NGC was that wrong in blowing the grade of a Morgan as "details." when it is really MS. They generally get that one right--sometimes they might over or under grade, but "improperly cleaned?" That is a pretty easy call for a TPG. If your 1899 were truly MS (and from what you say, I have some doubts), then it would be worth $250-400, depending on grade, eye appeal, etc. I have two MS 1899 coins and that is a tough date--the prices are fairly high for them. If it is cleaned, then you got what you paid for it--$55 seems proper for a details coin of that date.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a doubt. Sorry to be so direct, but NGC is a pretty good company at determining cleaned coins, and if they say "cleaned-details," chances are that they are right. You got the coin on E-bay and never saw it, so you can't examine it closely under magnification to rule out an improperly cleaned obverse. Sorry, but probably true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
