1885 P Morgan Rainbow Toning

After viewing the different coins you have posted photos of, my humble suggestion to you would be to stick with TPG graded coins until you sharpen up your grading eye. Many of your photos have shown coins that have been suspect of being sliders in my eyes. No disrespect intended on my part. Good luck with your pursuit of nice Morgan dollars.

I appreciate your suggestion. I like buying the raw coins, I don't think I am buying them to exclusively hope that they will be GEM coins with high grades. I post the coins here to see what other people think they might be graded and to practice my skills taking pictures. Wether or not they are sliders or nice, I buy them because they have character and are 100+ years old. I like old stuff.
TPG pieces are not as fun to me because they are meant to show value through opinions of a professional nature. While I like the idea of grading for value and having a trusted system of graders, I just think about how it was before the TPG system entered into the market. I kind of think of this forum in regards to that time because everyone shares their knowledge and opinions and makes it a bit easier to distinguish the skill of grading. I feel like the way I learn things is hands on, so I go for it hands on by taking the pics of the coins and asking for opinions of the grade.
I also just read another post in a thread about a toned Morgan where SsuperDdave talks about the Morgan market and how demand is rising due to popularity. I am part of this raise. The TPG premiums, IMO, are inflated along with this rise. So there is even less of an attraction to me to get only slabbed coins to purchase as they are in a target market for not just collecting, but having a high stake in investing. So, another reason to get cheaper sliders or mid MS state raw Morgans that are of a lower premium.
1893S, I know you said you weren't trying to be offensive and offered your humble opinion, I am not offended. I feel a little defensive because I don't think you get where I am coming from. Hopefully this post helps explain that. I plan to keep posting pics of raw Morgans and asking for grades and hopefully get a little insight to sharpen my grading eye and photo taking skills. I hope to get my post count as high up as yours so one day my humble opinion might shine through on someone, someone where I am at right now, so they can learn what I have learned from the mentors here on this forum. And I, as you, hope that I am not being offensive.

Thanks for understanding 1893S! I will definitely be posting some more stuff soon! And yes, I gotta give thanks again to everybody for that CCF major assist, as nickelsearcher put it! You guys are great people
