New Error Morgan Dollar back from grading!

Here is the Morgan I just got back from my last submission. It's an error, 1921 Struck Thru Obverse. It graded just as expected, MS62.

Fantastic! Note the type of original luster inside the error is different.

neat

nice, but how is it a 62?
How can they grade that obverse?
or just use the reverse? Which looks far nicer than 62.

Perhaps because the coin's Eye Appeal is only "generally acceptable."

Nice. Even being a 21 (errors abound) this one should command a decent premium for a greaser. The "wow" factor is there

Easily. Just like any other. Determine the amount of surface contact marks to assign numerical grade. However with this one the reverse was used to determine MS from AU. I agree with 62.

Very nice indeed. Congrats on the pick up!

Cool piece. but I don't trust TPG's when grading these, although I don't think the grade really matters other than it is definitely ms.

Why not? The grade of 62 is correct and obvious. It's not bad enough for a 61 and not good enough for a 63.

Nice!

Sweet !!!

Neat coin....Helps you imagine what a Morgan would look like with no obverse lettering.

GeorgesCoins · October 18, 2017 3:44AM

Thanks everyone! I really like this piece too!

I also agree with the 62 grade. I think they used the reverse and what ever was left on the obverse.

Neat error.... I agree with the grade, though that is really secondary in this case....Cheers, RickO

I agree with you, but just not buying for the grade, buying it for the mint state ms error package, so if it is ms 60 to ms64 who cares.

I see your point but I would pay more for a 63-64 over a 60-62. And I would pay more for a 65 and beyond (generally speaking) than a 63-64. So does grade matter, yes.
