Paralyze, this one is deserving of a cac review. From what I can see from the images, green bean for sure with a real shot at a gold one. Absolutely worth the trip, as a gold beaned rattler would be a home run. While it doesn't change the coin, it certainly changes its value. Awesome pickup!

I have not. It should be here or tomorrow. I am really starting to try to sell off some "problem" coins and pick up higher quality pieces, which is why I've been buying more Bust halves and quarters lately and early copper. This coin was kind of an outsider (I'm trying to downsize Morgans, not add to them) but couldn't resist.

I was going to submit a whole mess of coins to PCGS at the upcoming TNA show (May 31-June 1) but that falls on business end-of-month and I can't miss work to attend a coin show. I have surgery coming up on June 10th and once I recover from that I will try to get it sent off to PCGS but I am not sure it justifies a resubmit with the rattler premium on a pretty but common-date Morgan.

If it came back as a 65 or 65 CAC I'd probably be up about 3-3.5x what I spent on it, a 66 is not gonna happen IMO as PCGS and NGC are really tightening up grading the last few months. I'm not a CAC member and can't submit coins to them so I'd have to go over to Frisco and let Lucas send it off for me from his shop.

If the coin looks as strong in hand as the images portray, a 64 in a rattler with a gold bean is far rarer and thus more valuable than the same coin graded 65 with a green bean.

Got it in hand today, it's really strong and IMO an easy 65. There are a couple of distracting marks on the reverse but the obverse is nearly flawless.
