Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 6:33 pm I've enjoyed the conversation related to this Morgan and to the nuances of grading the New Orleans series. That's why this is such a great place to talk coins. I've been at our club show for two days and apologize for my tardiness. Quote: Again, really cool Top 100 Morgan. @Bump111, did you cherry pick this critter? It was unattributed, but with something this obvious there was at least one other person bidding. I was able to snag it within my alloted budget, about 2x what a standard '91O would go for in this grade.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 8:11 pm I love the broad spectrum of grades for this one. I though it was just me(iv only looked at maybe 100 Morgans and tried to grade less then a dozen). I think I'm getting good at grading but agree f12-AU on dollars must be one of th hardest things to guess an accurate grade since it is so subjective. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 10:49 pm I was very happy to be able to add this crazy Morgan to the small pile at my house. For those interested that haven't already had a chance to see it, there is an interesting letter written in 1891 by the Mint's director regarding this variety. It is found at the bottom of this page on VAMWorld: http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1891-O_VAM-1A1 "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
