Hello Newbie Here

to the community! The great thing about coin collecting is that there is so many niches. You can make the hobby into whatever you want. Take a look around and see what types of coins speak to you.

81S Morgans are usually really nicely struck - the mint was really dialed in that year.

Bstrauss3-

You're certainly right about that.

I have been buying these coins from my cousin who is getting them in payment for painting and landscaping.

He first took a roll, he said because I had been talking about how I should buy some silver because the price is down.

Well it seems the guy he is working for has plenty of these dollars because I have bought over ten rolls now.

My original intentions were to buy and hold. However he keeps bringing these rolls every couple of weeks or so and I have not been making very much money recently so I really don't want to convert all of my ready cash to silver.

Anyhow like I said I'm new to coin collecting so I'm just learning about grades and the like. I have been reading the information available at the pcgs and figured I would start going through these coins and keep the nicer looking ones and maybe sell off a roll of the inferior ones at the coin shop in the event that he keeps bringing them and I get pinched for cash.

I have been working my way through them and so far I have only found two that have minor flaws in them. The 8s did not get flattened out on top and you have to look with a loupe to be able to tell.

Any tips you guys could give me on "home grading" would be great guys. Thanks for reading.

Yep that's the one I had reffered to in my post.

I guess they really lay it out for you.

They even had the 1881s Morgan in the insructional video, lolzy

Lol. Yes I already understand the addictive nature of this hobby.

I feel a little like Daffy Duck in the (Not Allowed) episode. Shameful as it is to admit

That's yet another reason I joined this forum, for advice.

I have never sold anything on ebay before. It seemed like there where plenty of coins on ebay that were simply not selling.

I would rather have something set up to move a few in the event that I have to sell, but my intention is to hold onto as many as I can.

I would think that it would be difficult to sell coins on ebay without having any good reviews/ratings
