acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:15 pm You are rite lighting does play a big role. Most of the coins do have a very nice luster in the light. Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:18 pm There is a Canadian grader called ICCS it is a respected Canadian Grading Service. And I have read when grading they do not take luster into consideration , which can make for a tough grade. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:23 pm As usual, I pretty much agree with Ozland. Quick thoughts: The '86-P rocks; I'd dearly like to know why the '85-P PCGS coin doesn't do 65. The reverse is stunning. Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:30 pm Thanks everyone I feel like I have invested well with these coins. And I did not have to pay a fortune to get them. All comments greatly appreciated Alan Report this Post to the Staff
Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:42 pm So what were the Grades ICCS assigned? MS 64?...for both? Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 10:54 pm The 1889 was from INGS at ms 66. And 1985 was from ACG at ms 63 The 1886 was not slabed. Report this Post to the Staff
Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 02/04/2011 11:22 pm Your coins perfectly illustrate that third party grading companies use their OWN grading standards. By way of comparison, PCGS pricing for the 1889-P in MS 63 is (U.S. currency) fifty-six dollars, in MS 64, eighty-five dollars, MS 65, three hundred seventy-five dollars and MS 66, one thousand three hundred fifty dollars.

acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 3:04 pm Thanks again to everyone for the advise. I am sorry for all the duplicate photos, but as I said this is all very new to me. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my Morgans Cheers to all Alan Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 8:33 pm I plan to follow this thread as I have a 1867 nickel that is completely missing the S in the phrase "In God We Trust." Yours and my coin are very similar in that they are both completely missing letters. I am curious as to whether the omitted text would qualify it to be an error or just a minting mishap. I am relatively new to this forum also and will attempt to post a photograph of my coin this evening. I hope I can get the detail enough so that others will be able to see the omitted S.

I up loaded photos of some of my other Morgans and made a real mess, for some reason the photos kept showing the same photo over and over again LOL. But now I think I have figured it out. Rookie mistake but who's counting LOL Would like to see your coin. Cheers Alan Report this Post to the Staff
Ozland Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 8:56 pm Strike through error coins (also known as filled die error coins) occur when a part of the coin die is clogged with grease and or a combination of foreign matter consisting of dirt, dust, saw dust, general debris or remnants of struck coins. This typically happens to the smaller letters and it is easier for these to fill with what looks likes grease smudge. These are considered mint errors. However, to have your coin listed as a mint error with a third party grading company, you must request and pay for the additional service. Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 02/07/2011 4:35 pm Hey Ozland Does grading add value to a mint error coin, or gust recognition And is it worth the cost and hassle of sending it to a TPG. Thanks Alan Report this Post to the Staff
