Today, I received back my 1890CC and 1891CC Morgans from PCGS Presidential Review complete with a form filled out by hand and signed by David Hall. He left the grade and body-bag in place for both coins as I expected (but I had to make the effort, even though it cost me another 40 bucks).
His comments on the 91CC: "This coin has obvious high point and field wear. It is not mint state to us.". It might be obvious to him, but sure isn't obvious to me, especially comparing my now badly devalued AU-58 with my other PCGS MS CCs; it compares very favorably with a couple MS-64s although I don't think it would make the leap to MS-65. I would have settled for MS-60.
I shudder to think what would happen if I submitted my entire Morgan collection to PCGS for regrading.
What galls me even more is that I cracked it out of the NGC MS-61 slab. I would have been farther ahead (or at least not behind like I am now) to to have submitted it as a crossover.
Next stop: ANACS. But, I'll let them finish the move to Texas and refine their transition to the new slabs.
Whence I finally master my new Canon S2 IS and get some photography bulbs, I'll show some better pics.
