Slabbing this one probably cost more than the coin is worth.

Yeah, could be. I think that rather than sell it and the other silver dollars I had graded, I'll keep them in the family. I might even throw good money after bad by having another Morgan dollar graded after conservation  PCGS saw PVC residue and returned it without grading. |

Monnaie - if you get a coin sent in a body bag for PVC residue, just give it an acetone bath. That should solve the problem so it won't get sent back if you do decide to submit it again.

I had it at AU55 also but I thought it might pull a details designation due to hit on the jaw

Definitely not a good investment.

Thanks, Drew. I thought about buying some acetone, but after reading the warnings about how dangerous it is, I decided it's not something I want to take on. I'm going to have a local coin shop do it.
Coinfrog, don't you think the value might be higher in 50+ years? All of the coins I have belong to my parents' estate (they died within 4 months of each other), so they were "free". My initial thought was to sell them all so that my and my siblings' kids don't have to deal with them, but now I'm leaning towards distributing them among the beneficiaries instead of selling.

Monnaie - Of course they will be worth more in 50 years, but that's not my point. Rather than paying the TPGs to slab a forever common coin, I'd rather see you spend that same money on a couple of ADDITIONAL coins that will increase in value over that same span. No offense intended.  |

This coin should have been body bagged due to 1/8 inch gash on face

No offense taken, Coinfrog. I'm on a very steep learning curve! It didn't help that my father's "collection" was a bunch of foreign and U.S. coins and currency stuffed into a 7" x 4" x 1" box, with no indications of value, sentimental or otherwise  Edited by Monnaie
