Bezo816 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 5:35 pm I recently bought a 1883-O Morgan dollar. It is slabbed by NGS and listed as "Brilliant Uncirculated"... so what grade would that be? Is there a certain number that matches with that MS 60 or something. I am new to this so any help will be greatly appreciated. I can post pictures later if that helps. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 5:47 pm Yep, hope you made a typo there, otherwise it is a "Brilliantly" doctored coin. Now NGC will do Brilliant Uncirculated" if it is a problem coin. I have a 1909VDB that states "Brilliant Uncirculated" with the caveat "Altered Color" without further explanation. ATed? Cleaned? It still has slight luster but has an orangeish hue, weird. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 6:10 pm By using the term "Brilliant uncirculated", which does not have a precise definition, this company can sidestep accusations of over-grading, provided that the coin is at least MS-60. Not a bad strategy. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 9:58 pm Whew. That looks like an NGC holder. Much more reputable than NGS. Can you provide pics of the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 10:15 pm Pics too small to grade from. This coin is from the Olathe Hoard. NGC only slabbed them as Brilliant Uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff
