Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/23/2006 8:17 pm I don't know what to say, just look at this thing NTC claims is a MS-63DMPL. I know you cant expect much from NTC but......well I can't say it because its a family forum http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...e=osi_widget Report this Post to the Staff

Don't get me wrong, I'm not standing up for NTC.I have never bought a coin "graded" by NTC and probably never will unless I can get it for melt price.I'm just saying there's some outrageously weak struck "O" Morgans out there graded in the MS range.

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 12/24/2006 7:31 pm Metalman (Rick) is the expert on weak strike Mint State O Morgans. I wouldn't trust NTC to get a grade right even if it had been in business a century. It certainly lends support to the concept of Federal regulation of the TPG industry.

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 12/26/2006 5:05 pm NTC ms63dmpl. Cool, they must be using a 100 point scale! From the images, which are poor, I see a slider. Report this Post to the Staff

My Home is your Home !! But no matter what else comes to be ,, this morgan is Mint State !! uploaded/metalman/PICT0077~1.jpg uploaded/metalman/PICT0078~1.jpg Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 12/28/2006 11:01 pm Whaddya have for sandwich stuff? I like salami, egg salad, liverwurst, and BLTs. BTW, what will keep your Rotties from making a Fred sandwich? That 88-O is the unmintiest Mint State I think any of us have ever seen. We'll never know how the O-mint people let that one slip by. It's really gotta be slabbed... ...leading into another subtopic: Before the Confederate government took over the New Orleans Mint in 1861, why didn't a local Union commander (or any other officer) take it upon himself to destroy the Mint's dies?
