Just stopped in to say hi. I recently came across a few uncirculated Morgan silver dollars dated 1881 minted in San Francisco. I'm excited about getting into the coin collecting hobby and I thought joining this board would be a big help to me.  |

to the community! The great thing about coin collecting is that there is so many niches. You can make the hobby into whatever you want. Take a look around and see what types of coins speak to you. |

81S Morgans are usually really nicely struck - the mint was really dialed in that year. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

You're certainly right about that.
I have been buying these coins from my cousin who is getting them in payment for painting and landscaping.
He first took a roll, he said because I had been talking about how I should buy some silver because the price is down.
Well it seems the guy he is working for has plenty of these dollars because I have bought over ten rolls now.
My original intentions were to buy and hold. However he keeps bringing these rolls every couple of weeks or so and I have not been making very much money recently so I really don't want to convert all of my ready cash to silver.
Anyhow like I said I'm new to coin collecting so I'm just learning about grades and the like. I have been reading the information available at the pcgs and figured I would start going through these coins and keep the nicer looking ones and maybe sell off a roll of the inferior ones at the coin shop in the event that he keeps bringing them and I get pinched for cash.
I have been working my way through them and so far I have only found two that have minor flaws in them. The 8s did not get flattened out on top and you have to look with a loupe to be able to tell.
Any tips you guys could give me on "home grading" would be great guys. Thanks for reading.
