<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 195876, member: 5233&quot;]CSI is not a grading company that I would have any faith in.&nbsp; This is the one that grades coins according to their own standards...not according to the Sheldon Scale.&nbsp; So, when they say MS67...that could mean anything.&nbsp; A lot of these lower grading companies greatly overgrade...so a 67 would probably be a 60-63 or so.&nbsp; However, since these guys completely ignore the Sheldon Scale, it could be anything (but, to their credit...at least they admit they ignore the Sheldon Scale-on their website, but not on the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume this is the coin you are looking at: </p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1883-O-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-Certified-MS67-CSI_W0QQitemZ110091076908QQihZ001QQcategoryZ39465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1883-O-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-Certified-MS67-CSI_W0QQitemZ110091076908QQihZ001QQcategoryZ39465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1883-O-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-Certified-MS67-CSI_W0QQitemZ110091076908QQihZ001QQcategoryZ39465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is not a rare date, you can get a nicely graded example for a pretty good price.&nbsp; Plus, this coin looks funny to me...I don&#039;t know if its just the picture, but the color seems odd.&nbsp; Its kind of a small photo, but it looks like it has been heavily dipped to me (I don&#039;t see much luster remaining) but perhaps it has been cleaned or something.&nbsp; This is a coin I would stay away from...I would avoid the grading company as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only grading companies I really would buy from is PCGS and NGC...they are the best, next on the list is ANACS.&nbsp; Of course, as everyone says...&quot;buy the coin, not the holder.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
