On the original pics I had thought 64 and no higher due to the scratches from behind the mouth to the chin. And did they specify which Morgans got the 63 grades and which the UNC details? Or just 2 63's and 1 UNC damaged? Because going by that last photo you posted this could be one of the 63's... It looks pretty textbook 63 in those pics... Was one of the others possibly damaged?

if she though that there was even a chance that the coin was a 66 then she wouldn't have sold it to you. Exactly. If they thought that there was a shot they would have spent the 32 bucks to find out. It's a no brainer chance to take on a boarder line coin. The fact that a basement slabber said it was a 66 means nothing. For less than 3 bucks anyone can buy a slab and call it a 69 if they wanted too |

Nathan makes a good point. To the untrained eye, or one that has just gotten into collecting, a MS-63/64 may look like a 66 or 67. I know that when I first started I bought a G-6 Details 1891 Canada 5 Cent and paid a whole bunch because it was marked EF-40 on the holder.

None of the other Morgans were damaged, either.

Sorry if it sounded harsh, it's definitely a crappy experience but also a learning experience for the future. It sounded like you got the coin cheap so at least you have that going for you. With a lot of people it's a much more expensive lesson

That one does hurt. Then, you hinted at a much lower price in the other tread.
Best advice would be buy already slabbed coins at that price.
You could try and trade it back for something else and just say you fell in love with something else

Have your Mom march you into the coin shop like she's really t'ed off and demand they return your money that they took from a minor. Hey it might work.

But a common date and gambling on one point in that high-MS range while you have just started collecting? Dang... there is no way to put this mildly, it was a very stupid decision. A lesson learned, but a very expensive lesson. I didn't even have $400 to spend on one coin when I started collecting. |

$400... that is some tuition to pay, but we all pay it. Sorry about your bad luck, but that's what you get for dropping that kind of dough on a raw coin when you don't really know what you're doing.

Lol,  , as harsh as it may sound that's far too much to fork over not knowing 100% what your looking at/for... But again, from that last pic I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the 63's... Deep or not a 64/65-67 shouldn't have many marks. So again, did they specify which dates got what? Quote:
