Hey all. I went to a few pawn shops today, I don't have any coin dealers within an hour from me. I was searching through all of their Morgans for varieties. I went to one pawn shop, and as I was looking at the coins through my loupe, the owner comes up and says "that's not a CC buddy." I said "I know, I'm looking for varieties." He then said that I won't find anything.
When I got started collecting I really didn't like Morgans because I thought they were too bland, well, so much for not collecting them
I had this in hand and handed this and my loupe to him, put them right in front of him, and he wouldn't take it, but assured me I wouldn't find anything worthwhile.
Well, what do you guys think, what would it grade if I sent it in? I paid $40 for it. I got about a hundred different coins while I was there for not to much money. Just in silver value I scored hard core. He sold me some foreign coins that he didn't look up but had priced at a very low dollar amount.

not being argumentative, but how is this coin a cherrypick?

Maybe my definition is loose. To me, cherry picking is looking at any coins being sold as common dates or "nothing special" coins and finding something worthwhile. To me it's not about finding the million dollar coin (I'm not against it though). I was jumping with join when I saw this.
I like that Morgan though...lots of character. Some of those scratches look kinda recent to me. Too bad about that.
