You da man.....

paigowjohnny · July 22, 2003 3:05AM

Boy did you get ripped off...must have "sucker" stamped on your forehead....

I wonder who had that slabbed in the first place....

CarsonCityGold · July 22, 2003 3:06AM

Looks like an ACG AU58 to me !!

Just a little rub on the high points ! Congrats !

braddick · July 22, 2003 3:12AM

Sweet! The Perfect Grade!

K6AZ · July 22, 2003 3:13AM

You have to wonder who had it slabbed. And that is an older holder from before PCGS had direct submissions, so that coin had to go through a dealer.

Ever browse eBay for the fun of it and see Morgans in ridiculous holders? Last week I saw an PCGS AU55 1880-S. I think it went for $15.

K6AZ · July 22, 2003 3:15AM

I bought it because I was thinking of becoming the Braddick of Morgan Dollars. I know the coin is only worth about $12.

LAWMAN · July 22, 2003 3:16AM

Plastic costs more than the "junk box" coin!

<< <i>Sweet! The Perfect Grade! >>

My first thought was...How did Braddick miss that one ??

tjkillian · July 22, 2003 3:28AM

Cool! Want to sell it to me? I'm collecting a grading set of Morgan Dollars and in that grade, it really does not matter which mint/date. I have a 1879-S in PCGS G-06, but I need one in G-04.

Want to sell?

Tom

K6AZ · July 22, 2003 3:35AM

Gee, I don't know Tom. What am I going to replace it in my registry set with?

tjkillian · July 22, 2003 3:40AM

I'll trade you a 1881 PCI Morgan dollar that they claim is MS-60, but easily looks MS-64 to me.

KlectorKid · July 22, 2003 3:42AM

Braddick's got you beat though.

Dog97 · July 22, 2003 3:44AM

Man I looked long & hard @ that coin and try to tear it down. I tried to say it was really a AG-3 but the rims are too full. I don't see any fingerprints. It's not beat up & nasty and the original patina & color is pleasing for a circulated model.
Been a long time since I've seen a fairly graded Morgan in the wild. Good catch!

K6AZ · July 22, 2003 3:44AM

I don't have one of those old photo slab holders. Hmmm.. a GD04 for a mint state coin.. well, PM me.

jbsteven · July 22, 2003 3:55AM

Kid:

I gave Braddick the worst Morgan ever. no problems at all and it is practically slick. I posted the pic here on the board and hopefully Braddick will post it again. there is NO way to even know what date it is. Maybe it was a 1893 s?

coinlieutenant · July 22, 2003 4:06AM

K6,

I really like that coin. Original and good date.

John

K6AZ · July 22, 2003 4:12AM

Yeah, well I've been talked out of it!

braddick · July 22, 2003 4:32AM

<< <i>Yeah, well I've been talked out of it!

Ok guys, enough of the highjinks. This domain of collecting is MINE! Mine, I tell you! I don't need the competition to start driving the prices up!

(The flip side of that 1886 has ghost detail about the size of a quarter, in the center of the coin with it being totally slick from those 'details' to the rim.)

(((Remember the trick to these is finding them: 1) Problem Free. 2) With a readable date. 3) An indication of what the MintMark is. Without these identifiers PCGS will NOT holder the coin, of course, but PCI will- they just holder it "NO DATE".)))

Newkid · July 22, 2003 4:47AM

Congratulations.

K6AZ · July 28, 2003 5:53AM

Got the coin today. Now tomorrow it gets to go back across the country.

ER · July 28, 2003 6:27AM

I think it has a good chance for an upgrade.

abuell · July 28, 2003 6:30AM

Morgan Dollars 40% off! You'd better buy now before I send it off to ACG!

ER · July 28, 2003 6:32AM

Beautiful crescent toning!

K6AZ · July 28, 2003 6:33AM

What happened to that? Someone try to fake a split planchet error?

chiefbob · July 28, 2003 6:38AM

Are you gonna crack it out and resubmit? Might go to VG

Bob

K6AZ · July 28, 2003 6:42AM

No, another board member talked me out of it for his grading set.

abuell · July 28, 2003 8:34AM

<< <i>What happened to that? Someone try to fake a split planchet error? >>

Fake? Fake? I'm shocked that you'd use a word like that when describing the centerpiece of my Morgan Dollar collection! This is the unique (POP 1!) 1882 pattern in pot metal.

I finally got a POP 1 Morgan!
