The black line on the cheek of the 1899 is actually a reflection. It looks like the luster was smoothed down there from a bag contact.

Your 1884o isn't worth slabbing the holder it is in is sufficient, you have other coins that aren't anywhere close to as good of shape but are worth easily double your 1884o and would be worth getting graded

If the black line on the 1899 is on the holder then it would go to a MS-63, but with the ding on the chin and other marks I don't see it going above a 63... On a great day if the slabbed hit on a scratch ticket that morning or something like that it might get a 64 but IMHO I really don't see it... I agree in passing on sending in the 1884o for slabbing, not worth the cost... I'd buy it raw though if the price was right  , Lol. Maybe a few of the others too... Including the 1899, but again only for the right price, lol. Overall great Morgans  , some definitely worth sending in. And ebay would be a good idea, but with the fees for them and PayPal a private sale would bring more of a return.. Like I said if your not in a super rush once you have enough posts you could sell here. Hint hint.. Lol..  |

I may just wait and sell them here Nathan. I think I will still get the 1899 slabbed just to see what they say.
My wife takes the pics with a panasonic loomix. I really don't know how to work it.

O, absolutely, I would still get the 1899 slabbed, I just said personally I wouldn't send the 1884o.
The 1899 is definitely still slab worthy at MS-63 and a great looking Morgan! Just food for thought, lol, but remember that alot of people go by "buy the coin, not the slab".. So even if it got a 64 some people might not want to pay over 63 prices.. But for the price of slabbing I feel your right in having it slabbed either way, even at 63 it's a decent priced Morgan!
Definitely keep us posted when you get them back and let us know what they were graded! And if you do choose to sell here when you have the posts (which you should by the time you get them back, lol) definitely send me a PM when you get them back because I'd definitely be interested in a few.
Actually if you don't send in the 1884o send me a PM as soon as you hit the post limit and I'd definitely be interested!! (I'm not completely sure how the rules work with selling here? I know to post for sale on have to have a # of posts, but I don't know if someone can just offer or show interest on a coin they see that they know is going to be sold... So sorry if this isn't allowed...

Ya, I'll definitely show them when I get them back. What's funny is the 1884 o is already in a slab graded MS 67. The slab is a Numismatic Collectors Company slab though.

So sorry if this isn't allowed... we used to have a line in our " RULES" page that explicitly forbade regular members from offering to buy from new members. Reason being, there are a lot of folks that come on here that are new to the hobby or just have some basic questions about inheritances. We do not want to seem like a bunch of vultures on here preying on the uninformed. Plus, we are an educational forum with buying and selling a privilege, not a right. Having said that, the verse I am speaking of is either no longer there or I am just missing it, so I can't in good conscience remove your "offers" right now. But let it be known now in a public nature, the offers for PM's and buying can stop for now. Let's allow the new member settle in here and learn a bit more. Maybe by the time they reach the time and posts needed they will decide to keep them and expand their own collection. |

I've been been flipping alot of coins as a new hobby. I work in the high Arctic for long stretches then home for long stretches. I've found many coins, that for one reason or another I can't bring myself to sell because I like them so much. Some of these aren't even high dollar ones, just pretty. And I like to keep alot of bullion for when the dollar isn't worth anything. And the big guys run out of silver or lies to manipulate the silver market.
