Received: 1890-S PCGS MS-64 Morgan Dollar (Photos) -- Update

StuartStuart Posts: 9,761 ✭✭✭✭✭
Here's a new purchase of an 1890-S PCGS MS-64 Morgan Dollar which the seller described as having some PL characteristics.

It looks like a very nice MS-64 with a bit of extra Semi-PL pop luster image What do you think of her??

    I was expecting a toned monster! Stuart this coin is not up to your standards, send it to me for disposal!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Eric: Thanks for your post to bring this back up to the top. I always thought that one of the pleasures we have on this forum is to share new coin purchases with our fellow forum members. If others agree with you, I'll stop posting new purchase images...

    Although I don't appreciate your consistent sarcasm and negativity, I do agree that it's your right to continually put your foot in your mouth if you choose to.

    I've patiently tried to take the high road by ignoring your sarcastic and caustic posts, but will be happy to get into a flame-throwing match if you continue your asinine remarks.

    I thought that you would have become a bit more tolerant and tempered as a result of some previous posts which have bitten you -- but I guess some people never learn...

    Have a WONDERFUL evening!! image

    Stuart,

    I don't see anything asinine about Eric's post. I think he was just joking about the fact that you post a lot of newps--especially since he's a morgan person, I really doubt he'd be upset with the posts. Rather, I think he'd like them.

    Jeremy: There's been a long-term pattern and negative tone to Eric's posts for a long while, which I have until now ignored. I'm just letting him know that I'm getting tired of his snipes.

    If your interpretation of his intentions is correct, then Eric can state so as a post to this thread. If he does, then I will offer an apology for misinterpreting his attempt at being funny as being sarcasm. If he does not post such a statement then I'll assume that I am correct.

    It's up to him to state his intentions...

    That is a very choice morgan. I especially like the strike and the contrast with the semi pl fields.

    I think it is ok that we on the boards blame you for the increase in prices in the morgan market. We need to blame someone.

    For the record, keep posting the coins. It is fun information to see the activity that is out there and that there are some collectors out there buying coins and that the coins are not just jumping from dealers to dealers. (#1 gripe about coin shows)
  • Stuart--nice Morgan and I can see the PL characteristics--just when I think I'm getting tired of Morgans, along comes another one. I picked up two PCGS CCs this week--and 83 and 84 (both upgrades for two I sold a few months ago) after I swore I was going to quit and concentrate on my type set. I found a great dealer that prices his coins right at bid--so I'm happy.
    Curmudgeon in waiting!

    Please keep posting your new coins - I enjoy seeing them. I think K6AZ was joking, but even if you took it differently, sometimes you just have to move on.

    Stuart, you just keep adding those coins to your collection; we'll help keep Eric in line.

    In his own way, he said he's sorry (and a little jealous). image

    Hey that's Purdy!!! I like to see Morgans with a nice strong Strike like that one has. Good Looking coin.


    BTW, Keep posting those pics, I for one like to see them. Eric posts most of his newps too!! One thing I never get tired of is seeing pictures of Morgans.

    Update to thread... I received the 1890-S PCGS MS-64 Morgan Dollar today (photo below).

    The obverse looks DMPL with a Semi-PL reverse that held the designation back to a standard MS-64 grade (No PL). The outer portion of the reverse appears almost PL, while the central portion has those die polish lines that are so typical of the San Francisco Mint Morgan Dollars.

    It is a truly gorgeous PQ coin, especially for an MS-64 image
