<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 786818, member: 15199&quot;]Looking at the photo, I suspect it is in the MS63-64 range unless the reverse is a real hummer. As such it would not be worth re grading. I am a little curious why the shop wouldn&#039;t tell you what they informally thought the grade was. With your stated interest in starting a Morgan collection, here are some possibilities.&nbsp; 1. Use this as the first coin and keep it in the holder to remind you of the need for gaining knowledge and reference capability. Don&#039;t feel bad about this coin. If it gives you the drive to be very careful and to know what you are doing, the full price will actually be a small price to pay for the future. Check to see if there are any coin clubs nearby. They can give you&nbsp; advice, support, and maybe even some nice coins.&nbsp; 2. Break it out of the holder and sell it as is. You might only get $20, but it is out of your sight. 3. Break it out and put it in an album and tell no one of your deed.4. Take it in holder to a coin show and ask for offers. Tell them you realize it isn&#039;t close to a MS67.&nbsp; If I was sitting there and someone asked me what I would offer, I would decline to offer if I thought you thought it really was a MS-67 and worth several hundred.</p><p><br /></p><p>personally I would take door #1, as my first Morgan was almost 40 years ago and no slabbing company was available then so I bought an AU slider as a MS-63. I still have it as I like to remember the wonderful and interesting journey it led me. Good luck, stick around!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
