I added an 1888 Morgan dollar with an NCI certificate to my collection some time back

I bought this at our local coin show a while back, thought it was cool and realized I didn't have one in my collection. The estimated value on the 1888 dollar is insane, but that was the beginning of the price run up to 1989. I paid way less than that, and the coin itself appears to be accurately graded.

    Nice silvery luster, looks like a solid 64.

    I've seen worse as MS65 .

  • That’s a nice coin, and I’d agree, a solid 64. This is how I like my coins as well, a nice original skin, very little toning, but if there is any, a natural gradient that isn’t distracting, but says my surface is original. I’d be very happy to own that coin.

    Nice looking lustrous coin, solid for the grade indeed.

    Looks as nice as my 65 although the increased value isn’t material.

    Agree with everyone above. I think at least 64 at PCGS, possibly/likely a 65. JMO

    Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Stunner. I "cracked out" an NCI photocert $20 saint and sent it to NGC a few months back:
