DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 10/27/2012 12:45 am Building an AG-3 Carson City collection is harder than you may think. My set has some "reverse hole fillers", higher-grade coins bought for AG-3 money (such as my VG-8 Damaged 1889-CC). And then there was my 1879-CC, which many on here said could go G-4. Possible, because even PCGS might give well-circulated CC Morgans a bit of a pass on grades. But every so often, I get lucky and score a real AG-3. No rim denticles left on either side. "Miracle" AG-3 reverse like my '79-CC, no denticles but all letters intact. Uh-oh, I'm smelling the "G-4" talk coming on. But here's the kicker that keeps it out of G-4: Rim wear touches tops of "E", "P" and bottom of "1" on obverse. Edited by DNA 10/27/2012 01:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

I'm thinking it'd be a lot harder to do this with Philly issues than Carson City strikes; most of the latter actually circulated. What a wonderful idea for a collection. Are you set on AG-3, or just lowballing? Got 1882 covered? Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: I'm thinking it'd be a lot harder to do this with Philly issues The understatement of the century! This dealer also had an 1899 Philly in VG-8, and even that was a mind-boggler.
