New Pix, old coin, 1893 Proof Morgan.

SkyMan · September 10, 2012 2:44AM

Here are some pix of an 1893 Proof Morgan that I've owned for 20+ years. The coin is in a PCGS PR65 rattler. I feel fairly comfortable that it would upgrade today, but I prefer it in the old rattler slab. If I ever sold it, the good Lord willing not for at least another 20+ years, I'd try and get it gold beaned by CAC. The first set of pix were done by Shane Canup and the second set of pix were done by Bob Campbell. I think they both did excellent jobs on imaging the coin.

Very nice! Love the look.

That would be the pinnacle of my collection.

Simply lovely!

You just blew my mind. THANKS!

I think the right buyer for that Gem Pr needs no bean or whatnot.

Edit to add - thats a 6+ or 7 to us now (I feel like Lorne Greene).

Great year and great coin, thank you for sharing. I agree with your assessment, but yeah keep it where it's at!

Showoff

Looks borderline DCAM. Nope, changed my mind. It is Deep Cameo. Is that a hit on the eagles breast? Shame. I think that keeps it at 65. Maybe 65+ in today's world.

Definitely a DCAM.

Grade dependent on how the scuff on the bird is valued.

Though it doen't seem to affect grading on this as well as most 91-93 proofs, is that is a full strike. While one would think it would affect the grade, it does not, even though it's highly unusual for any these dates.

Approaches the coveted "moose" status

I think I've seen this coin in person before when SkyMan was doing a show-and-tell of his coins at a local coin show. If I remember correctly I believe this coin is a very strong candidate for a gold sticker.

Whoa Baby what an awesome Morgan. I don't think the breast hit should keep it from a higher grade but I'm glad you're keeping the rattler.
This is the kind of coin that makes me love this hobby.
Did I already say 'Whoa Baby'?!

If it was mistaken for a DMPL, you would be rich! (or richer). How crazy is that?!

Timbuk3 · September 10, 2012 4:57AM

Awesome !!!

DorkGirl · September 10, 2012 5:00AM

Beautiful coin. And I also believe she deserves a DMPL.

nice morgan

jfoot13 · September 10, 2012 5:24AM

That's my dream coin!!!!! GIVE IT BACK

SanctionII · September 10, 2012 5:34AM

Since I have been fortunate to attends local shows with Skyman and see some of the coins in his collection first hand, I can state without any hesitation that he has some great coins. Morgans are not my area of collecting, but I would love to have the pictured coin in my collection.

Great coin Skyman.

morgansforever · September 10, 2012 6:53AM

I like the second set better. Both have there own style just prefer the 2nd set.
Would love an opportunity to shoot a proof, it's so clean and hit free

It's a DCAM correct? Gorgeous piece

I was wondering, if this coin is graded pf65, and CAC thought it was 65cam or 65dcam, would that warrant a gold sticker, or does the numerical grade have to be determined to be undergraded as well? I agree that the coin looks awesome!!
