Bottleguy Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 08/22/2007 8:30 pm Here are some Morgans on ebay which were graded by NGC as Brilliant Uncirculated. What does this mean and why no MS number? Thanks.... I'm trying to upgrade some Morgans in my collection, but I'm unsure whether to buy them or not if they aren't higher grade MS's. Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/22/2007 8:47 pm Here is what NGC said about these no grade slabs: On occasion we have offer adjectival grading at a submitter's request. This can sometimes be a more cost effective certification, or it can assure the submitter a higher quantity of coins of uniform grade (as in this case, where coins grading MS65 or better have all been encapsulated as "Gem Uncirculated" "Brilliant Uncirculated" is a grade, which corresponds to a grade of MS60 to MS62 on the numerical scale"). Whether graded numerically or adjectivally, the NGC written guarantee applies.

I have a Washington dollar coin that they sent me when I re-upped my membership in the Collectors Society. I have also seen this description without a grade on a VAM Peace dollar, but I swapped that one awhile back. Report this Post to the Staff
