So I made my first big purchase and it was 9 morgans for $1100. Most are anacs graded, 1 PCGS and a couple from lesser TPG's. I also got an ungraded morgan & Peace dollar (not worth grading). I'm hoping I did ok. I know its usually just a 1 coin per post so I wont post pictures. I'm wondering if it's better to break the less TPG's out of their holders? and if so, how do I do that? Thanks!! |

Ondiwave, I'd like to see the hoard you acquired! It's your thread, so feel free to post them. As for the lesser TPG slabs, you'd be surprised at how easily they pop open with a Swiss Army knife. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

It depends on dates and grades to determine if the price was OK.

We do post multiple coins in a single topic when we are displaying a series of coins. (I did many times already)
I would love to see your coins posted up here.

In lieu of images you could at least post a list of the year/mints and the TPG grades. It's also not clear if the two "not worth grading" are included in the 9 or if you have 11. So you either paid $122 each or $100 each. Hard to say if you did OK without more info. |

@dearborn Really!? ok phew. I was a little worried after reading about the lesser TPG companies. So worth breaking them out of those slabs for sending into NGC or PCGS? Or leave them as is? |

You might have a harder time selling the ones in basement slabs,NNC-PCI-PGA. John1 |

In my experience you should treat the NNC as raw coins. Judge them yourself, their grades are meaningless. I don't know about PCI or PGA, but I suspect you can forget about that PCI coin being MS67. I was going to add up the value but now I don't know what you actually bought. 1883-0 MS 60 and 1878-S MS 60 are in your list but not in your pics, 1890-O MS61 (PCGS) and 1886 MS67 (PCI) are in your pics but not in your list, and 1879-S MS 63, 1885-0 MS 63 and 1884 CC MS 63 are all imaged twice. As such, I can only reliably check the price guide on 5 coins (but still not sure what you actually bought). The 1884-CC MS63 with a NGC value of $390 was a good score and pulls the average up, but the other 4 are all listed at $85-110, right around the $100/coin you paid. Then 6 of 11 coins are raw or unreliable TPG, so whether you did OK or not is really up in the air. |

The CC is bringing your average up, but even then its in an Anacs holder.
So far it looks like you overpaid.
But then again not everyone can get the same deals.
