    You have to wonder who had it slabbed. And that is an older holder from before PCGS had direct submissions, so that coin had to go through a dealer.

    Ever browse eBay for the fun of it and see Morgans in ridiculous holders? Last week I saw an PCGS AU55 1880-S. I think it went for $15.

    I bought it because I was thinking of becoming the Braddick of Morgan Dollars. I know the coin is only worth about $12.

    My first thought was...How did Braddick miss that one ??image

    Cool! Want to sell it to me? I'm collecting a grading set of Morgan Dollars and in that grade, it really does not matter which mint/date. I have a 1879-S in PCGS G-06, but I need one in G-04.

    Want to sell?

    Gee, I don't know Tom. What am I going to replace it in my registry set with? image

    I'll trade you a 1881 PCI Morgan dollar that they claim is MS-60, but easily looks MS-64 to me.

    Man I looked long & hard @ that coin and try to tear it down. I tried to say it was really a AG-3 but the rims are too full. I don't see any fingerprints. It's not beat up & nasty and the original patina & color is pleasing for a circulated model.
    Been a long time since I've seen a fairly graded Morgan in the wild. Good catch! image
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I don't have one of those old photo slab holders. Hmmm.. a GD04 for a mint state coin.. well, PM me.

    Kid:

    I gave Braddick the worst Morgan ever. no problems at all and it is practically slick. I posted the pic here on the board and hopefully Braddick will post it again. there is NO way to even know what date it is. Maybe it was a 1893 s? image

    K6,

    I really like that coin. Original and good date.

    Yeah, well I've been talked out of it! image

    Ok guys, enough of the highjinks. This domain of collecting is MINE! Mine, I tell you! I don't need the competition to start driving the prices up!

    (The flip side of that 1886 has ghost detail about the size of a quarter, in the center of the coin with it being totally slick from those 'details' to the rim.)

    (((Remember the trick to these is finding them: 1) Problem Free. 2) With a readable date. 3) An indication of what the MintMark is. Without these identifiers PCGS will NOT holder the coin, of course, but PCI will- they just holder it "NO DATE".)))

    What happened to that? Someone try to fake a split planchet error?
  • chiefbobchiefbob Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭
    Are you gonna crack it out and resubmit? Might go to VG image

    No, another board member talked me out of it for his grading set.

    Fake? Fake? I'm shocked that you'd use a word like that when describing the centerpiece of my Morgan Dollar collection! This is the unique (POP 1!) 1882 pattern in pot metal.
