HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 10:06 pm to the Forum, Ucadam2! Morgan dollars are beautiful and wonderful. Please don't become overwhelmed when you see posts about different VAMs and die matchings etc. Enjoy this fantastic aspect of America's numismatic history. And if you have questions before making a purchase, please don't hesitate to ask! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 5:31 pm You're in Morgan Country here! Get yourself a 10X loupe or 2 and always, always take it with you if you shop at a local dealer. This is so that you can look closely at each coin that you're interesting in. Great choice in collecting George Morgan's! Edited by dsking 03/23/2023 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 01:48 am Another Morgan guy. I wouldn't submit anything for grading until you're sure you have one worth grading. It's pretty expensive. I see a lot of $50 to $100 Morgan's graded that are probably better left raw. The grading services are inconsistent and in 10 years will likely be a completely different standard. I'm buying what I like and will grade or regrade when I think computer/optic grading is fair and consistent. It's not there yet and I'm not sure I'll live long enough to see it.
