So if a dishonest Jedi was involved in Numismatics:
Buyer - "This raw 1889 CC Morgan has been circulated and buffed"
Jedi - "You don't need to grade that coin AU Cleaned, you'll grade it MS 64."
Buyer - "The dealer 5 tables over has a PCGS MS-64+ PL for $1335.00 less"
Jedi - "This coin is the one you want at any price."
Buyer - "But my wife says we need to money for a new dishwasher."
Jedi - "You're wife knows nothing about numismatics. She will be thrilled when you bring this home and can look at it while she washes the dishes."
Done Deal.

Me: getting excited over a coin I want to buy.
Forum Jedi(s?)and my wife (in unison): this is not the dreck you’re looking for.

@DennisH That is a very impressive gathering of 1878 VAM 44. I've never seen so
many at one time. I bought mine raw from Bill Fivaz 40 years ago. Set me back $500.
Straight graded into an ANACS holder at 58. This is only one of 10 VAMs for the entire
Morgan series that's worth collecting. Thanks for sharing.

How about this one, an 1814. She has an interesting history, both ex Frederick and ex Link, and when purchased was partially described as follows (with more references to the number 4);
... worn, clashed dies and the presence of a small die chip on Liberty’s nose. Full cartwheel luster and mark-free surfaces ... Russ Logan quaintly referred to this intermediate die state as the one with “a mouse on the nose.” Logan owned one of two known 1814 platinum half-dollars, Judd 44. They were struck from the O.107 die pair. Since they do NOT have a mouse on the nose (or a die break between 81 of the date) we know that they were struck in 1814 at the Mint, not pieces de caprice, struck elsewhere from discarded dies.
“We are only their care-takers,” he posed, “if we take good care of them, then centuries from now they may still be here … ”

VAM 44 in AU58 is a heck of a prize – and $500 looks like a screaming bargain today. Congrats!
