Low Ball Morgan Silver Dollars

What TPG are you using? Those are not PCGS certification numbers.

There is a lowball Morgan dollar collector named Mike Hoyman who has assembled over a lifetime of searching what IMHO is beyond a doubt the most impressive certified lowball set ever known.

His coins are all in PCGS holders and all but two (1893-S and 1894) are certified PCGS PO01. The other two are certified PCGS FR02.

Mike's set is so spectacular that PCGS paid to have it shipped and exhibited during the ANA National Money Show last year.

Your coins are 'common' (if you can call any PO01 coin common) in the PCGS registry with multiple examples of both dates certified at PO01.

As to value ... lowballs are a tricky world where someone might want it bad enough to pay moon money ... or not.

Mike Hoyman has told me that he would pay $5000 for a PCGS PO01 1893-S Morgan ... think about that next time you come across a well worn coin.

They are NGC certification numbers.

As far as I know only PCGS registry sets allow you to create a set of lowball coins. So if they are in NGC holders, they may not realize as much as if they were in a PCGS holder. Lowballs are somewhat tricky to price due a lack of public auction records and that they go against the convention that coins in better grades are worth more. PCGS has certified more 1921 morgans in PO-1 than any other dates. In a PCGS holder, that coin could auction for $150 give or take.
