Pronghorn New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/23/2014 7:34 pm Hello, I'm fairly new here (and to coin collecting in general). I have the opportunity to purchase a slabbed 1881 S Morgan for $200 (graded MS67). Any comments? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

junior e Pillar of the Community United States 931 Posts	Posted 06/23/2014 8:10 pm I have to say that it seems like something that I would jump on. I just have a thing about MS67 Morgans. You only live once. How many marks are on the cheek? I would have to have a flawless face on my favorite girl other than Minnie Pearle. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 06/23/2014 10:11 pm First off, welcome. Besides who assigned it that MS67 grade, also, what's the source? A reputable dealer, or some essentially anonymous online seller? Lots of pitfalls for the beginner in a deal like this. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 10:18 am Whether or not you should jump on it will depend on who slabbed it, and whether or not the grading is accurate. If it isn't by one of the top services the chances of ever being able to sell it as a MS-67 are slight. Secondly there are coins even in the top services that are not accurately graded. If YOU are not qualified to accurately grade the coin yourself you may find that you have purchased an over graded coin. (Fortunately you are somewhat protected by the grading guarantees of the top services in this case.) Report this Post to the Staff
Pronghorn New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 10:49 am False alarm here; it is not a PCGS or NGC. Some fly-by-night operation. It doesn't even look like other MS67 1881 Morgans. I'll just stick to ungraded ASEs and 90% silver that I enjoy. Report this Post to the Staff
