Bryan, Question About Morgans ?

NGS,SGS,PNGS,National Numismatic Certification,INB,NGCC (which is very deceptive because they just added a C to NGC's name)and many others are not a real Third Party Grading Company, it is just a ebay seller slapping his inventory into cases and printing out stickers (which evidently he isn't very good at doing since he named this coin a Peace dollar) to make it look like it was actually graded by a company when he is just trying to hype his coins up. I am not good at grading (especially with scans which this looks like) but that definately doesn't look like a MS-66 to me. If I was a new collector and couldnt grade well (like I am) I would stick with either PCGS,NGC or ANACS . You can actually find some real good deals on ANACS coins if you look and then you know they were actually graded by a respectable company. All of them ebay sellers that slab their inventory into generic slabs and through a sticker on them is scum in my book because many new collectors are drug in by their deceptive practice thinking they actually are getting a great deal on a coin that is worth BIG money and then they find a forum and start to learn and theyn they start asking questions questions about their killer deal and we have to tell them they are actually paying way over what the coin is actually worth

I actually started buying blinded, I didnt really care for slabbed coins at first (I think mainly because I didnt understand what it was). I bought all my morgans raw and I would probably be doing the same thing today if I hadn't found that one VAM-83 on ebay one day (which was something I had never seen or really didnt know what VAM meant) and I had to have it for some reason, I won it and then I compared it to my raw morgans and I was like whoa now this thing is much better than what I have been buying. I still didnt understand the TPG stuff so I bought one PCI and one NTC coin while I was still buying blind (I didnt even know there was a place to discuss coins on the internet)and when I looked at the coins I had bought in PCGS or NGC slabs I was very disapointed in the other two, so I resold them on ebay and just started buying from them two and I still may take a chance on a raw coin every now and then but I will never spend my money on one of them other guys coins again Unless it is just a specacular coin and I really think without a doubt that it deserves the grade

If you believe the basic fact that there are only four (or maybe five) trustworthy Third-Party Grading services out there, and that is the absolute truth, then you must ask yourself:

"If this coin is worth $16,500, why is it not in a slab from PCGS/NGC/ANACS/SEGS/PCI, and why did it only sell for $150?" The inescapable conclusion is that the coin isn't worth $16,500, and PCGS wouldn't call it MS66.
