Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 11:20 pm Hi Dexter, I'd go along with a G-06 grade for your Morgan. I recommend you don't spend grading fees on low-value coins like this 1889-O dollar. Grading often makes sense for expensive coins, especially for coins that are often counterfeited or ones that have large price jumps between grades. It is much easier to sell a valuable coin if it's in a top TPG (third-party grading service) holder. You can usually get more money for it, as well. In my opinion, an appropriate minimum value for grading is about $200. For coins below that range, you probably won't even recover your grading fee when it's time to sell.

coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 07/14/2008 1:54 pm Thanks again for the advice. Just like it is said learn before you buy or sell your coins. Here is the grade that was on it when I bought it. I'm not sure what it stands for. AG? AU? 90%? Help Image: moragan.jpg 61.77 KB Edited by coindexter 07/14/2008 1:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 07/14/2008 4:51 pm Dexter, The standard grading scale for circulated coins goes from P-01 ("poor-1") to AU58 (About uncirculated-58). The higher the number, the closer the coin is to an Uncirculated (or Mint State) grade. AG means "about good." That grade has the numerical value of 3 on that 1-to-58 circulated coin grading scale. I think your coin is a little better than AG-03; I put it at G-06 ("Good-6") but it is still a heavily worn coin that is near the bottom of the scale. The "90%" label probably refers to the fact that this coin (like all standard silver US coins dated 1964 and earlier) is composed of an alloy containing 90% pure silver. There are lots of informative threads in the Grading Practice forum. Go ahead and browse and you'll pick up a lot of useful information.
