I bought this coin last night and i hope it looks a little better than the picture. I have seen better 58's, but this is a tuff coin to find and i thought the price was very fair too.

You comments on the coin and price please.

It also looks proof like!!!!!!

    Any 1895 s in a pcgs holder is hard to come by. I was proud of my vf30. That au58 looks nice, and they usually go for near book value since it is relatively scarce.

    For $1900 that coin+grade is a steal... a huge steal. Look at any major Morgan dealer and they'll typically be asking more like $2700-$2900 for a PCGS-58.

    Way to go!!
    When in doubt, don't.

    I like it lots.

    Difficult date in general and even more difficult at that grade. Looks conservatively graded as well.

    Nice job.

    These dates are tough to find nice in correctly graded AU58. Even if you paid a bit to much, I doubt you'll do better in a 95S because the MS coins--even up to the $8,000 MS64's are marked up and aren't very attractive, for some reason. Good luck!!image

    I saw that and almost bought it myself ... but got distracted by something else image I love PCGS AU58 as it is almost always a bargain grade with great eye appeal. Please post a pic when you get the coin.

    My favorite date in the Morgan series. Similarly priced to the 1895-O...but just rediculously more difficult to find! The several hundred existing mint state examples held the circulated prices down for awhile, but the 100%+ price increases for circulated examples just hasn't brought out the coins. The mint state distribution numbers look alot like the 1894. I see this coin with still a lot of upside to go over the next 4 or 5 years, and eventually it will get priced as much tougher than the 1895-O in circulated grades.

    Rex:

    You did really, really good!

    Is it either a VAM 3 or 4 by any chance?
    When in doubt, don't.
  • AceKAceK Posts: 414
    I bet the lighting is emphasizing the dings and that it will look better in hand. Nice pickup!

    -----Good point Gregg, I wouldn't be trading any AU55/8's to get MS63/4's anytime soon. Looks to much like the 1894P prices did as you pointed out.image

    for the night people and thanks for all the comments
  • sweetwillietsweetwilliet Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭
    Here is an interesting figure. PCGS has certified about 2700 1893-s dollars, but only about 1600 1895-s dollars. You will see way more 93-s's on ebay at any given time (in a pcgs holder).

    nice coin and a very underrated date in this grade.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Very nice for the grade.

    I think you got a great deal on that one.

    Congratulations.image

    Great example of why I like AU58 as a grade. You can find stuff that is a rub away from MS63. That coin looks like it would fit in quite well in a choice BU PL set on a reasonable budget. Now find an 1884-S like it.
