image Got this 1921 Morgan from one of those "Lot Sales" on ebay. This is my first coin to go to PCGS for Grading. Got it for a buck and think it's 63 maybe 64?

    Tough to tell from the picture but the coin looks like it has a lack of Luster. Stuff on her cheek also. Looks AU to me.

    Not bad at all, If I say.
    But the Eagle looks like his chest has some wear, but maybe that is a weak strike or old worn down die.
    The suspense builds as to what PCGS grades it as. . . image

    You mean one of those "lot sales" lotteries actually came through with a "winner"? image

    Looks AU 58.

    ( don't know how anyone could guess XF45 to MS 67 as a general range).

    Lots of "newbies" are in a big rush to get their first coins "graded."
    When they get the results back.... well, you'll see.

    They blame it on PCGS 75% of the time.

    When is the operative word here!

    Are we taking bets how many more times Lee is going to threaten/promise to leave before he gets them back.

    I say the over/under is 2!

    If it comes back AU50 I'm ok with that. I don't have high expectations for this coin. Who knows what the value of this coin will be in 10, 20, or 50 years. I sure don't. I'm not some big high dollar collector like some here. I'm starting out small as alot of us do and as my skills in grading get better I hope to be like others here and "Cherrypick". But all that's way down the road. Thanks, Lee
  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,660 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That's good, Lee, sounds like your expectations are realistic and you're after a learning experience, not a "score"

    In that case, I think you'll have fun image

    Kinda looks like it has dip residue on it so there is a good chance it will be body bagged.

    How'd I do? image


    Thanks All!!!!!!!! Lee
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    OK, let me get this straight...

    Cost of coin $1
    Cost of grading (15 day service) $30
    Shipping to and from PCGS $20

    TOTAL spent on coin $51

    Greysheet bid $37


    Profit -$14
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    In that case you made a profit.

    Something seems amiss in Marty's P&L statement.

    Congadulations on the great grade and an attractive coin. Everyone is worried about the ecomonics here, but I think you are smart to start off with the more inexpensive common dates first, to get an idea on how Morgans are graded. I hope you already have the paperback by Q.D. Bowers (the one sold by www.anrcoins.com at their shop). Bowers has been an expert on these coins for decades and I certainly learned a lot from the Morgan Book, even though I've collected Morgans for 35 years.

    I have to agree with morgannut. If you want to test your abilites to grade a coin, why not do it cheap? Why does a submission have to be for big bucks?
