WOW - This is an impressive Morgan

Searching through eBay and came across this. Took my breath away. Wonder if I'll be able to afford it at the end.
Morgan
I have icon envy.

    He has another beauty here. I have to wonder why these are not in slabs? Seems they would submit something that nice.I learned the hard way about eBay and Raw coins.
  • Any speculation on grades?

    I'd say a 66/67 on the 79. A 64/65 on the 80. They are beautiful. Stunning. That's why I wonder why they haven't been slabbed.

    ANYONE who bids on a raw "DMPL" like that on ebay is asking for a serious disappointment.

    For anybody that wants to know what the criteria for DMPL is, you have to be able to read newsprint clearly @ 6".
    1"-2" is semi prooflike and is so nothing it isn't even noted by grading companies.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I did once. Body bagged for hairlines. It would have gone PL if at all. This could be a case of using the right camera and lighting angles. They look great but I'd just walk on by. BTW. I don't see any return policy offered.

    You hit the nail on the head, lighting and camera angles. I can take a plain MS63 coin and make it reflective to the camera to the point where you will see close print reflected off of it. Unless you have a seller you know and trust, PLs are the riskiest Morgans you can buy raw.

    At the same time he has almost 500 + feedback with NO negatives, and at least seems to have some knowledge about coins. Still, you have to wonder....
