Procedure name: Right cheilectomy with implant
Diagnosis: Right hallux rigidus
Basically, I cannot bend my right big toe. It is swollen and painful with a bone spur and no cartilage where bone is growing to try to heal the area.
35 minute operation and about 3 weeks out of work. Cannot wait to get this done!

| I always try to find the part of those cardboard flips with staples, that I can open. Then, very carefully, bend it very wide, and remove the coin straight up without touching any staples. That is my method but it does take a steady hand and practice. |

So my scale is calibrated accurately. I make 100% sure of that.
I weighed each of the 5 Morgan Dollars I received to check tolerance as they were all polished beyond belief (bullion lot).
Each came back at 26.73 grams or very close to it on the minus side. One however, came in at 26.77 grams.
What do you think? I know how much Chinese junk is out there but like I said, a supposed ethical dealer on eBay with very good feedback. First time I bought from this particular dealer. |

Looks original. Possible extremely light cleaning in the past. F12 here.
The commons seem to be going from 32-37 lately on the bay. Then of course you have to consider shipping costs and ebay taxes as well.
Why I prefer to buy at shows. |
