I find it funny that these in GSA holders weren't allowed to be called Uncirculated, they were just called "Silver Dollars" instead of "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5632 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 9:30 pm I have looked and looked again, I believe the luster IS NOT original, I see obverse wear, on the cap, the leaves, the hair over the ear and some small distracting marks on Anna's face, I see this coin dipped or cleaned some time ago, causing the luster to look as it does, not a crisp, clear cartwheel looking luster. I would grade the coin an MS 62-63, if it was a good day, MS63....... Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 11:24 pm Morgans, it has full cartwheel in hand and that frosty luster that is typical of these CC dollars. Nothing unusual under magnification. I have a PCGS MS-65 1883-CC (it is pictured over in the "28 days area") that has much more chatter on the face and other surfaces. From a surface marks perspective, this one is super clean. Here's the (notably inferior in hand) 1883-CC for comparison: Edited by fenton 12/21/2010 11:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

There were no TPG's back then, its just back then if a coin was toned they considered it damaged. That is why so many Morgans got dipped so many years ago because I have talked to a dealer and they said they used to have toned coins sit in their inventory for months and no one wanted it even at a discount price, they would dip it and put it out and mark up the price and it would be gone within hours. This wasn't a one time occurrence either, it happened time after time. No one wanted toned coins, if they weren't blast white they didn't want them Quote: I believe the luster IS NOT original,I see obverse wear, on the cap, the leaves, the hair over the ear and some small distracting marks on Anna's face, I sure don't see it, any dipping would have removed the crescent toning also so I really doubt it was dipped Report this Post to the Staff
