Got 3....

1882 s MS64
Neat toning and price....but kinda dig the finger prints....Eric? Mr.Green?

1888 S AU58
decent price

1891 CC AU58
another decent one to add to my collection. strong price...but looks AU63 to me.

Under $1k - 3 coins with both pedigrees and CAC....can't really complain.

I do like the blue finger print on the 82-s. Looks cool.

Not bad at all. I really like the first one...I wonder if you could match the fingerprints to Newman or Green.

The 88-S and 91-CC don't meet my standards for 58. To be a 58 a coin should make you stop and wonder if it ever saw circulation. Both of those coins are very obviously circulated.

I stopped bidding on the 88-S because the Envelope said the coin was very fine. Not a ringing endorsement from Col Green.

I was the underbidder on the 91-CC.

Yes....only reason I stayed on the 88 was the price....I thought it might have been pushed higher. Probably retail that one...

The 91cc....sorry! Got a higher than I thought (would have liked it $100 cheaper........but still think its a cool coin/pedigree/AU58.

As a collector I think the story on these was worth the extra $...pretty neat to a Morgan fan like me.
As a vest pocket/part-time dealer....tough flips with any of the Morgans in the sale that's for sure.

The very fine grade opinion by Col. Green was likely assigned in a period of numismatics before numerical grades were even thought of, and at the time very fine was the standard description of an uncirculated coin. Take a look at some early auction catalogs, and it is plainly evident that Mint State business strikes were commonly described as very fine by many reputable auctioneers.

Green's standards at that time may have been more in line with European grading standards where almost nothing was considered mint state unless Fleur de Coin (FDC) with all the bloom of an early striking. We'd probably call
something like that MS68-MS70 today. In any case, even Sotheby's was grading unc. US coins in the late 1980's as VF, XF, AU. I purchased a half dime lot from them in 1988 where the highest grade assigned was XF....for an
1850-0 half dime. It graded NGC MS65 at that time. Colonel green wasn't doing anything that Sotheby's (and other European style auction houses) wasn't doing 50-60 years later.

Or maybe Col Green. Either way.....they have been there probably 70 years ;-)

Am I the only one who believes these notes are from Eric Newman? Can someone confirm this being true or not, thanks! >>




I believe that to be true. Many of the coins were not Ex.Col. Green and had same envelopes and writing. So must be Newman.

If you look at the envelope you will see not only is the Very Fine description marked out but it also looks like the "S" mint is marked over an "0."

I am also not sure what the original date was from that image. Could have been 88 or another as it is also remarked.

I'm thinking they just reused and old envelope.

No endorsement on my part of the grade just an observation.

I thought it was cool to be getting the hand written envelope saying it was UNC. Now that seems like a piece of history to me! I just didn't expect to pay that much!

Nice coins - congrats
