Bought it raw for $82 on eBay

What I learned was to only submit coins that I think will hit a good financial return. These were my first ever submissions to PCGS and I think next time I will be a little pickier about what I send in. That may seem obvious to the seasoned collectors on this forum but now I know a little better what to look for in a coin as far as Morgan value goes. Clean cheeks, minimum bag marks and hairlines and lots of luster.
