I came across this 1892-S Morgan on ebay that is in an ICG EF-40 slab. It certainly looks like a generous grade to me, especially when I compared it with Photograde. It's a $300+ coin in EF-40, but sold for only $100, so I would guess potential bidders, me included, were leary of it. I have bought some very nice, accurately graded coins in ICG holders, but this one doesn't look right to me. What do you think?    Paul Bulgerin

Plenty of wear and no luster. I'd say closer to VF20, which would put it in line with the price.

Is it me or am I seeing faint hairlines on the obverse around 3 o'clock? Or is it on the holder. It's certianly not an xf, I'd rate it a vf30 tops and that's being really generous

I don't know about the grade but I love the look of it. $100 seems like a fair price and I'm glad the collecting market was smart enough to correct for the grading disparity.

looks like it's been worked on @3-4 o clock on the obverse. The pink toing doesn't look natural. I will agree with the vf-20 grade to make things simple.

If ICG had photograde on their website would this be the image for an EF40 Morgan? Let's hope not...

No way it's XF40. Would barely make VF20-25. I'd say not bad for $100.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
