A decent coin, but 67???

That is a very nice looking morgan. I enjoying looking at other people's coins that I could probably not afford.

WOW! those are beautiful surfaces on that coin! I can't say that the toning thrills me, but I bet that thing just spews luster!!!!! Congratulations! I'll be interested to see what you have to say about it when you get it!

The obverse on that coin is chissled! It almost looks like Anna is going to come to life! And after seeing how crappy a lot of Morgan's are - that's a beaut!!!

Really nice, but did the colors bump it up to 67? I cant tell from the pic what grade it really is.

Sweet! I love it when Morgans have that crescent toning with pure white. I think it makes a nice contrast.

jbsteven · February 16, 2003 10:59AM

I have another 67 and this one pretty much looks the same. my other one may have a little nicer cheek. Once I get the new one and scan it then you guys will be able to compare apples to apples picture wise. see below

Nice ones.

I love those S coins, even if mintages are high, the quality of some of those coins is breathtaking!

stman · February 16, 2003 11:05AM

It's a pretty coin, and please don't feel I'm knocking the coin. I'm just a grumpy old time tech grader as Dog97 calls me.

I just don't like imo when they get bumps for color. Here is why, same old thing. They give it a bump for color at the grading service, the seller takes that grade then gives his own bump for color. So we end up paying premiums twice. Then 10x sheet. Sorry didn't mean to ruin you sharing your coin.

Congrats and enjoy.

That`s one of the perks of collecting Morgans as I`m sure you and alot of people already know about. It`s a good balance of age ( pre-1900 ), high grade, and cost.

<< <i>They give it a bump for color at the grading service >>

I see your point. The face is a 67 but, in the fields , there`s ticks in front and back that drag it to a 65. Don`t get me wrong jbsteven it`s really nice and I would be proud to have a coin like that in my collection. All-in-all I think it`s fair to say that we all like it and it`s a good catch.

I will post a detailed scan when it arrives. I agree that I cannopt make a judgement until it arrives. If I don't like it I will dump it at Long beach and get a nice 67 while I am there.

JB, I watched that one with interest myself, and I think that you will like it much better when you see it in person. Congrats and please let us know when you get it!
