philinchio New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 01:22 am I just received this Morgan from a very good friend of mine as a thank you gift for helping him purchase a live steam locomotive. He had gotten it many years ago from the daughter of a coin shop owner who used to babysit him. It looks to be at least VF to me, but I'd like some expert opinions. Being a semi-key, I want to get a good protective display. Any advice? I'm planning on taking it to the coin shop in town to at least get a flip for it. Still not sure about grading. Excuse the lighting in these pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 02:59 am get an Air-Tite (?sp), that way you can hold it and look, as you wish, and let others see it. They are under a dollar, and there are 'direct fit' ones for Morgans. Just make sure when you buy it the airtite is not all scratched up. Report this Post to the Staff

philinchio New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 7:30 pm Took it to the LCS earlier and got a 2x2. Shop owner graded it XF-45. For now I'll keep it in the flip, perhaps later upgrade to an airtight holder. Thanks everyone. :) Report this Post to the Staff
