farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 10:48 pm Hi guys, I was wondering f anyone could give me some help in deciding to PCGS grade this Morgan or not. Its got huge upside, but I have found that the photo grading app that PCGS has, doesn't seem to be accurate, or I am going blind LOL :) I host all my pictures on Google drive so all I have is links. Any input positive or negative would be appreciated. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6...?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/15e...?usp=sharing Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 03:29 am Here are the pics for everyone: I would limit it to MS-63, so, not worth grading fees. Even 64 wouldn't be worth it, to me.

farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 07:28 am Those photos were the ones from the sale at ebay, I took some of my own, and it does look much better then that. To me anyways :) I appreciate the honest review, save some time and $ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_9...usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eb...usp=drivesdk There is one other factor to throw in the mix, I'm still sitting on my 4 free PCGS vouchers for the year and unfortunately it is my best candidate lol Edited by farrider11 03/20/2019 08:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 11:04 am Wow the news keeps getting better and better LOL, Let me ask this. Considering I have no other candidates for the free vouchers, any chance of this "Sliding" by? :) Report this Post to the Staff

farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 5:04 pm Just for a learning experience, and you dont have to go into any great detail, what is it about the coin that makes it a "Slider" I'm familiar with the definition, but in particular, where on the photo is it. Hope not to make the same mistake twice. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 6:02 pm It appears to have been over dipped which gives it the washed out look. The original mint luster is DEAD. Do not buy any more RAW coins until you know EXACTLY what you are doing. Visit a coin show and look at hundreds of slabbed coins. Knowledge is power! Report this Post to the Staff
