F-15 details cleaned. As a key date it might get market graded a grade higher.

I see this as a good match for the VF-25 images and descriptions in the PCGS grading/counterfeit detection guide. As the key to the set I'd be surprised if it graded below VF-20. If it was cleaned, it doesn't seem that it was done too harshly. I've seen many Morgans with more obvious cleaning signs that made it into PCGS plastic.

Nice key, nice value! Wish I had one!

Well I might as well say. Halfabustisbetter and tights24 win. They gave it a F-15 (without details).
Still a nice key, I could never afford to buy a coin like this!

Very nice Robo. Worth over 4k !
Ahh... I was off on my guess. I must have been looking at the SGS grading guide.
So are you planning to keep it or sell it ? Looks like you have a few more key or better date coins in that inheritance. You should have those looked at too.

I have personally inspected and, with the help of RedBook, graded every coin in the collection. It was tedious. It's now my duty to divide the collection into fourths by estimated value. Any suggestions? My brothers and I decided to create 4 equal value sets and then pick numbers out of a hat to see who gets what. I thought it would be fun. Then after we pick we can trade if we want.

Unless your whole collection is worth over 16k (greysheet bid), it will be tough to divide it in fourths because you have 1 big value coin that you don't want to sell.

Have you checked the loose coins for varieties already? Don't forget those!

Oh, I knew it was in a PCGS slab, but I believe it's been cleaned at some point in its past, so the 'details' was more my own grade based on eye assessment. PCGS is loath to bodybag key date coins. A wonderful coin and collection!

Hmmm, with what I have been putting down for my grading maybe I should apply for a job with SGS
Rest in Peace

F-15 is awfully harsh considering the overall details, I'd go at least VF20/VF25, might want to have it regraded.

I agree with Shadow.
Considering the money difference between an F and VF for this coin, it might be a good idea to have ICG grade it or crack it out and send it to ANACS again in a couple of weeks.

Actually, I think anacs got this one right. I had a 93-s in an old pcgs holder graded F15 and it looked just like this coin (part of my reasoning for grading this one at F15). Still, it belongs in pcgs plastic and should cross easily at that grade.

Hi, I was just wondering is that 1893 S coin picture in this post the same as the one you posted in the following topic? I cannot make out the date on the other topic?

WOW! Can I have it? I would have said F15. Little too much wear for VF20. Beautiful coin!
