Confusing thread title.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Lustrous 64.
Do you agree there is too much chatter in the obverse fields and on the cheek to warrant a GEM grade?

I liked it better in the NGC slab.

It's not just Trueview - most coin photos will bring out the worst and best of the coin.

To be honest it's possible that I was putting too much hope into the cheek and the definition above the ear.
But I felt that the breaks in the frost of luster weren't serious enough to preclude a gem grade.
And to be honest, The reverse is all that and a bag of chips..
Did you crossover or crack it? Your chance of upgrade in slab from NGC to PC is minuscule. Handsome coin but left obverse field is likely grade-limiting.

I cracked it.. Actually I cracked about 8.
Based on True view, I like the coin in the grade PCGS assigned. A little too much chatter for a 65 imho.
That TV is not a bad TV imo.
The NGC pics are not a True representation of the coin imo.
So you didn't like the grade that NGC assigned?

Better to have the nicest MS64 on the block rather than a minimal MS65.
It is a terrific Morgan! I'll trade a bit of chatter for luster any day.

That's a very expensive experiment. I agree with those who don't see a clean cheek, etc., or a real "gem" coin.
There are just too many fees unless we're talking expensive coins, over $1000 or so, to warrant re-submissions, conservation/regrades, etc.. I've had a couple of these. Between shipping, grading, conservation, etc. there is no economic sense.
@gumby1234 - well NGC's grade was consistent with PCGS, though the picture of the coin in the NGC slab is not of a quality I would attempt to give a grade to.
@marmac thats somenody taking a bad pic with a cell phone probably.

I’m pretty sure is the same coin
Smitten with DBLCs.
Yes it is, but I liked it in the NGC slab better.
EDIT to add that the OP would have probably like the money he spent to cross it better as well

I Cracked and used a voucher so no real loss. I bought this and the Walker in the ICG Plastic I posted for $120.00 together.
On the same token I paid $325.00 for the GSA Morgan that came back MS64 DMPL. Used a voucher for the Walker that upgraded a point and a + and paid out of pocket for the GSA. The 2 Accented hair Kennedys I picked years ago for no more than $20.00 and they were vouchers as well.
I didn't really spend that much and the GSA DMPL Pays for all of it plus I think.
Edited to add The Kennedys were from proof sets I cherry picked.
You and braddic are probably correct. They say ownership ads a point
.
The cheek cancels out the slightly more field chatter. That’s a gem

64 looks right to me. Nice coin.
