I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.


And rightfully so for the admission cost. I would call it MS67 even with the slight "cabinet friction".

MS66, a couple of scattered faint hairlines and a nick on the neck are the only flaws I can find on the entire coin, and I look at a LOT of Morgans...

PCGS grading gods have deemed this coin worthless. UNC cleaned. Upon receipt in hand again, I agree as there are a few scattered hairlines, but nothing more. It is a brilliant Morgan with almost no marks.

A good example of PCGS' cluelessness and arrogance. Pray tell, how could a "few hairlines" so conclusively clean a coin? Admittedly, the little toning on the coin to me seems rather recent and possibly indicative of a dip, but you don't brush a coin unless there's something to remove and to remove that something so completely (given the pristine surfaces) you'd leave rather more than a "few scattered hairlines."

A genuine hairlining from cleaning would have been obvious to you and anyone else. This is PCGS, knowing better than the rest of us whether they actually do or not.

Rant aside, it is not impossible that they decided the color - and/or lack thereof - indicated a non-contact chemical cleaning. In other words, dipping is only cool when they decide it is.

Around DOLLAR it looks like someone lightly used a Q-Tip. That's about it.

I'd resubmit to NGC or ANACS if PCGS won't do a complimentary regrade. PCGS blew it with this one, and I'd call and raise heck with them and demand a no-charge reconsideration.

What's really funny is that I submitted a cleaned and damaged 1831 Bust quarter, and it got a problem-free AU-50. Selling it paid for all the coins I submitted, plus the fees and shipping.

PCGS has been inconsistent lately. I sent in like 12 morgans were solid dmpl and only 3 were designated dmpl the rest pl. I'm sending the pl pieces to NGC which I don't want to do but PCGS completely screwed me on this submission.
