I would have bid higher enwarb but I didn't want to spoil it for juzzy. That is a sweet looking Morgan would have hurt to list it  I have another 10 of these in the process of getting to Aus so I didn't want to get greedy. I was going to finish off my Franklin halves but when I got my first Morgan that was instantly put on the back burner  |

Im pretty chuffed with $48. I was just happy to get my money back. It is a very nice coin which is why I purchased it. Its a shame to get rid of it |

Wasn't me that got it. I only went up to $45. So some random third person was the winner.

Sorry you had to sell that. That is a NICE coin, pretty close to a 64 IMO. And put me on the side of those that criticize ICG and ANACS are total Kool Aide drinkers with blinders of the worst sort on.

Honestly, its cases like this why I love ICG slabs.
Sure they are sometimes over graded by a point or so. But a lot of times they can be spot on. A lot of dealers will automatically net value an ICG coin down 2 grades when buying, and then up one from there when selling. If the coin is accurately graded (or better yet, under graded) you can get a really nice score.
I've done this a handful of times.
IMO, ICG isn't too far away from being a contender. Even closer if PCGS and NGC doesn't get their act together.

Gorgeous coin BTW. Easy 63 IMO. without the cheek mark it would be a easy 64. I would pay 63 money for that coin all day long.  |

As with any slabbed coin regardless of the grading service one has to look at the coin and decide whether it makes the grade or not. ICG from my experience is fairly accurate most of the time just like PCGS and NGC. I bought a 1959 Franklin half dollar that ICG graded MS-65 and the owner didn't notice it had the Double Die Reverse. I cracked it out and sent it in to NGC for the error attribution and they graded it MS-65 also but said they didn't recognize the error so it wasn't attributed on the label. Ticked me off since PCGS does recognize the DDR for this date. I don't care for ANACS graded coins solely because I don't like the look of their slabs. I suppose I should pay more attention to the coins in them since it is possible to get a really nice accurately graded coin at a discount because of the holder then crack it out and sell it sans holder for the same grade.
