This one just arrived. I paid around $50 for it on ebay from so-so pictures. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.    |

Nice luster, but I'm not sure what's going on with the surfaces. Almost looks artificially frosted.

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."

Unquestionable 66 at least. Absolute beauty. Even though this is the most commonly found high grade Morgan, everyone needs a high grade for their type set at some point if they collect long enough. I'd give you $60, and pay postage. An instant profit  |

I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. And rightfully so for the admission cost. I would call it MS67 even with the slight "cabinet friction". |

MS66, a couple of scattered faint hairlines and a nick on the neck are the only flaws I can find on the entire coin, and I look at a LOT of Morgans...

PCGS grading gods have deemed this coin worthless. UNC cleaned. Upon receipt in hand again, I agree as there are a few scattered hairlines, but nothing more. It is a brilliant Morgan with almost no marks.

Pray tell, how could a "few hairlines" so conclusively clean a coin? Admittedly, the little toning on the coin to me seems rather recent and possibly indicative of a dip, but you don't brush a coin unless there's something to remove and to remove that something so completely (given the pristine surfaces) you'd leave rather more than a "few scattered hairlines." A genuine hairlining from cleaning would have been obvious to you and anyone else. This is PCGS, knowing better than the rest of us whether they actually do or not. Rant aside, it is not impossible that they decided the color - and/or lack thereof - indicated a non-contact chemical cleaning. In other words, dipping is only cool when they decide it is. |
