are they called au's?

I bought it in a 3rd world holder because the luster is blazing. I think it is low also but oh well. I really like the coin.
and lets just add 60 to the group.
The name is LEE!

Never knew a 60 could look so good
Very nice!

Since you asked, I included this as my 8th w/Platinum membership grading.
I was hoping for I higher grade, but the coin was a gift from my father and he paid $50,
so I won't complain.
This was submitted 3/15/10 (along with some 2008 W modern crap, thanks to this board!).
How do I post a pic as part of my reply, not an attachment?
Thank you in advance!
That is, to me, like saying the vast, vast majority of Mint State coins are dogs and I just don't agree. There are many MS60 coins out there that are most attractive. Many have toning or scream original - just some ticks and hits and such - a natural event in the life of a coin made to be used. Just my .02.
Best always,
Eric

+1 No Kidding!
From the photos it looks like it could pass for at least a 64 pretty easy. Geez.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

Rule of thumb for grading all coins. The worst side of the coin rules. The reverse of a Morgan dollar is irrelevant to grading upwards. There is no compensatory value. Someone will find an example that shows my 100% statement to be only 99% valid. Prozac and Zoloft, along with several other medications, have had profound effects in some severe cases of OCD. While it will be a surprise to many, OCD coin people DO exist. . .
On the other hand, many 67 Morgans have 65++ reverses and stiil get the grade
I purchased this coin in 2007. While certified as NGC MS-60, IMO it has the eye appeal of an MS-62PL, and I really like its overall appearance.
Although it's not designated as PL, it probably should be. It's got full mint luster, and the additional PL pop really sets it off from an eye appeal perspective. I rarely find either an MS-60 or 61 coin that has enough eye appeal to suit my particular taste. This is one of those scarce exceptions to that general rule.

It could be the Poster Child for an attractive Mint State coin exhibiting some cabinet friction.

<< <i>Stuart, RYK... please get your coins downgraded to 58's so people can see the 62ishness more clearly.
Mine is an OGH CAC Gold sticker
<< <i>I suspect a lot of 60's, if resubmitted, would grade higher today. >>
Earlier this year, I submitted two NGC Fatty 60s to PCGS, and they both came back 61. 60 is rarely used in this day and age.

Thanks Stuart. I bought the coin back in July of 1993. Never tried to upgrade it.
Thanks for sharing her with us.

This coin has original surfaces. Although marked up I would be happy to own it. Not too many coins in this grade are uncleaned. I think it should grade higher.

<< <i>Can't upload or linkify, but I would include the Norweb 1893-S in this category. Probably an ANACS slab. >>
"Ouch" - by whoever the current owner is
Here are a couple that I don't remember and no longer own since probably 1990's or earlier. Must have thought them better than 60 otherwise would have sold with the certificates.

If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

<< <i>WinLoseWin do you know if AMERICAN COIN CO. seen on the posted image of ANACS certificate for 1865 2c was located in Sioux City,Iowa? >>
I don't know the answer as I probably did not get it direct unless at a coin show, I don't remember. That name is also a common one. In a recent dealer directory listing by CDN there are several American Coin related names including an exact AMERICAN COIN CO in Utah. May have been a few different of the identical name come and gone over the years.
