Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 5:49 pm I like the 98-o. I think the toning is from the mint bag leaving what looks like fingerprints but actually bag toning. This explains the brighter reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverskunk Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 6:52 pm Well I bought the 1878 O MS65 for $215 which is a fair price for the coin and I'm returning the CC. In fact its both from the same seller but I'd never buy an ungraded Morgan coin again unless its some super duper deal that has a guaranteed return. I too like the Orleans coin. Let me ask you this please ? I dont like not putting new coins on the scope yet at the same time I dont like breaking open these grade capsules either. What the answer to this ? Thank you for your time. Edited by Silverskunk 05/13/2025 7:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5673 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 8:13 pm Definitely don't break it out. Much of the value is due to the PCGS grade, and there's no guarantee that it would get the same grade if resubmitted. And it certainly would be worth less as a raw coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Well the bad news is I broke out a 1878 S BU out of its grade capsule. Like a dummy. The good news is I was very careful doing it and you can't really even tell unless you looked very, very carefully. The good news is it was it was just a 1878 S in BU and not that expensive. Still, all in all, a pleasant coin to have. Further good news is I'll never even sell it, and luckily I'll be dead., that will be done by my kid or grandkids. But Lesson learned. If someone went to the trouble of grading a coin at an established service there is little reason to doubt the graders. Anyway, Star Wars Andor time. Report this Post to the Staff
