Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3346 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 4:58 pm I'm considering this 1888-S Morgan. These are the seller's photos. Based on these pictures, is there any concern regarding authenticity? Thanks for taking a look. "Nummi rari mira sunt si sumptus." - Filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3346 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 10:47 pm I appreciate the comments. I'll see if it works out. Hopefully, it fits into the budget. "Nummi rari mira sunt si sumptus." - Filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 11:29 pm Authenticity is not a concern to me The reverse rim at U and directly opposite at E is far more of a concern to me Gradewise looks low MS, probably 61-62 range I'd hard pass just due to the reverse rim.

Do you suspect something more serious has happened to the coin? "Nummi rari mira sunt si sumptus." - Filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5725 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 07:45 am Looks like a decent coin. The rim dings look pretty minor to me. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 6:09 pm The fact that they are almost directly opposite is my main concern as though there may have been a mount there at one point (brooch style.) I would reserve judgment without in-hand inspection, but if bidding online from photos only, I don't think I'd be interested. If OP thinks it looks ok, then go for it. It's a nice coin in all other respects. Then again, I'm pretty picky when it comes to higher end stuff.
