Bought this, along with a few more, and they were in slabs that say "treasury hoard silver dollar" dont get me wrong,they are nice coins, but I figured a hoard coin would look better. Was this just put in the case as a marketing scheme?   |

Is that a slab from a respectable TPG? If not, it's whatever somebody felt like writing there. There's nothing like a "treasury hoard" provenance for Morgan dollars aside the GSA sales. |

Can we see the whole slab. If it looks old it may have been a post gsa marketing gimmick. Kinda like giving it a "basement" gsa provenance

Looks like a non-government slab. But a nice coin.

I have only ever seen this slab one other time, it was a few years back, it was discussed on another collector forum.
No was to know its true provenance.
Nice coin though, MS 62 for me, thanks for sharing.

Yup, I stand by my previous post. With that blocky "typewriter" style font (I'm sure SD will chime in with its correct name) and the leaf lettering in white background it definitely looks to come from the 70s or 80s. I'm 99% sure my previous post nailed it... Nice oddity and something to research if your are the sleuthing type  *just an fyi side comment but alot of people don't realize that type fonts change with the winds of time almost faster than fashion trends so you can sometimes use type fonts to narrow down an era and apply a general time period to an item when researching it although its still subjective of coarse Edited by Cascade

Oh and as for grade it's a solid 64 but not a chance of 65 imo, too many abrasions

Cool this is all good news. I paid something like 120 for six that look very similar in the same cases. Thanks for your opinions

MS63 all day long. I think the hit on the eyebrow might keep it from MS64, but this one is sure close.
