The 81-S has very colorful toning Aqua and dark red/brown not really seen in the photo, great luster highly reflective fields. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 2:11 pm Just curious - what's your reason for wanting to get these graded? I used to collect baseball cards and there were a ton of people that seemed to think grading was the only way to go. I haven't seen that level of obsession with grading in the coin collecting world, but I am always curious when people throw the idea out there. Report this Post to the Staff
Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 2:15 pm The 1881-s appears to have major pvc residue on the edges so it would most likely come back in a "body bag" as for the 1898 o it is hard to grade because it is so bright... almost looks polished. I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 4:06 pm Very nice coins, I especially like the 1881-S. I don't think these are worth submitting. The 1898-O appears to have been dipped. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 8:37 pm to the CCF. I'm glad to see you're excited about Morgan dollars! The first coin has very dark toning and fingerprints, and the sharpness grade looks mid to high AU. The second coin is Uncirculated, but has almost certainly been dipped (dunked in silver coin cleaner) at some point. Although both coins definitely have value above their bullion (silver content), neither one, in my opinion, would be worth the $20-$30 per coin to have it graded.

CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 04/01/2022 08:04 am Earle - thanks for sharing that link. This part should really make people think: "If you take a PCGS graded coin slabbed as MS64, break it out, and resubmit it to PCGS, you are never guaranteed the same grade again. The slabbed coin might come back MS62 (extreme and a bad day for graders), 63, 64, 65, 66 (extreme and a great day for you!). This is b/c the process is all subjective: No scientific/verifiable standards or methods are used." The advice given to buyers is to buy the coin, not the holder. Why would that advice be given? It's because of what's described above. Yes, there is a perceived value in the services of companies like NGC and PCGS, but it's just not something I would use again I have used NGC before for a 5-coin submission a little over 10 years ago. I used them mainly to validate a couple of Peace dollar VAMs that I had cherry picked plus a couple of other coins. I can't recall being unhappy with anything as far as the service or results, I just don't plan to do it again. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 04/01/2022 11:25 am neither coin is slab worthy both look like they would pull a details designation. both common. the 81(S) looks like ED (environmental damage from improper storage or had a bath in grease or something) and there are finger prints everywhere. the 98(O) has been dipped and/or polished always check here before spending $ Report this Post to the Staff
