mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 4:55 pm Another in my recent purchase. This is an 1881 S Morgan. It looks very crisp and almost appears to have some remaining luster. As always, thanks for the help and grading opinions. I'll add more pics in this thread. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't be shy to take the extra minute, lay a nice cotton towel out, pick up a 100 pack of latex gloves at the local drug store and handle and take pics that way. You'll thank yourself in the end knowing that you took great pride to care for your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36782 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 5:28 pm dsfreeworld, it's a circulated coin so doubt holding this one will hurt it much. Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 5:36 pm If I remember correctly, I had the coin pinched inside my slightly bent fingers but I do appreciate the advice. I guess I'll have to stop kissing the better Morgans too. There goes all my fun. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 8:21 pm I agree with AU50 and it's a good habit to not bare hand any collectable coin. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/01/2012 9:32 pm It's a circulated coin. Chill. You guys would freak out to know I've never handled a coin with a glove on in my life. Report this Post to the Staff
Captain Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 08/02/2012 4:10 pm Far as grade goes I would say AU-52 far as Gloves to handle coins well...I never wear gloves unless I am dealing with proofs then I wear cotton white gloves. For circulated coin no gloves after all its circulated and I doubt all that carried and spent the coin had gloves on. Report this Post to the Staff
