Edited for results:

I did get some good news today... She came back MS65

_____________________________________________________________________________

Is she too roughed up?

Louis · October 17, 2003 1:38AM

I like it.

Welcome to the boards

It looks like the stagecouch ride was not too rough on her.

I like the cressent tone.

1946Hamm · October 17, 2003 2:07AM

Actually pretty clean for a cc. Looks nice to me. I would not hesitate to purchase it for the right price.

mgoodm3 · October 17, 2003 2:18AM

No such thing as too roughed up. Nice coin.

Placid · October 17, 2003 2:20AM

Probably about 64.

techeff · October 17, 2003 2:52AM

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I'm still very new... This Morgan is at PCGS right now, but should be back any day. I'll let you know how they grade her...

Louis · October 17, 2003 2:56AM

My guess would be MS64, and a nice one at that.

Steve27 · October 17, 2003 2:59AM

Nice coin, did you break her out of a GSA slab?

RiffRaff1967 · October 17, 2003 3:17AM

I like her - then again I like them all.

"It's a ting a beauty!"...

>>Nice coin, did you break her out of a GSA slab?<<

Steve, Yes I did. Was that a bad thing to do?

Bubblehead · October 17, 2003 5:44AM

Shudda just left her in the GSA holder. By doing that, PCGS
would at least have noted "GSA" on the slab label...

Not a bad thing if you like having less value rather than more.

I have 4 Morgan CC's in GSA holders that I have been considering submitting to NCG since I heard they leave them in the holders when they grade them.

coinkat · October 17, 2003 9:39AM

nice coin...it is mostlikely MS64...a worthy submission candidate

fountainheadgold · October 17, 2003 2:25PM

Nice looking cc probably a ms63, but i am usually low by 1 grade

dollardude · October 17, 2003 3:22PM

Nice one, techeff! Beautiful crescent toning! She looks like a strong MS63 to me, but could go MS64. Welcome to the boards from a fairly new member. I wanted to compliment you because this is my favorite of all silver dollars. See mine at the link below.

BTW, the GSA designation would have been nice, but buyers typically pay little or no premium for this, since they are mainly interested in the coin.

Skipper53 · October 17, 2003 3:44PM

Nice Morgan, techeff.
I'd give her MS-63 obverse/64 reverse.
Probably should have cracked her out of the GSA slab but, hey
a year ago I would have done it , too. I'm still learning.

ps: welcome to the boards !!!

Another GSA bites the dust.

Hey cool.... as I watch all these people crack out these Gsa's..... the price of our's (still in the Gsa holder) just goes up even faster. And I'm not one that buys for investment either. But I can honestly say the Gsa's I've had through the years are some of the only coins I sold for more than I paid.

mintluster · October 17, 2003 4:54PM

Those old GSA holders were ahead of their time. Real nice. Well made.

techeff · October 17, 2003 5:09PM

My sincerest apologies GSAGUY (and this is coming from a true Joe Dirt fan)… I meant no harm, but honestly I would have preferred this lady to have seen some “action” instead of being held prisoner for almost a century in a US Mint… With that being said, I would not of cracked her out knowing there was a premium… But then again, the coin has very little monetary value to me…

techeff · October 22, 2003 9:49AM

MS65

Placid · October 22, 2003 9:53AM

Nice

MrLee · October 22, 2003 9:53AM

Wow. Congrats. I would have expected a 64.

Gilbert · October 22, 2003 10:02AM

That is a nice acquisition and not a shabby grade either. Don't find too many that nice still in GSA holders (except for GSAGUY, I suppose

).

Those marks a really superficial and the coin looks to still have its original "skin". Did you cherrypick this coin or did you just get lucky?

Anyway, protect that baby with your life. Not many like that around, and if you should ever get an inkling to do something that would disturb this original, just find one of us oldheads to relinquish it to.

Here's a little somewhat insignificant tip on evaluating the reverse of a Morgan: look at the detail of the eagle's right toe(s). When the detail is there, you MAY be onto to something.

Were it not for the minor superficial scrapes on the obverse, I wouldn't be surprised if this coin got a 67 - it sure looks to have the strike and luster.

techeff · October 22, 2003 10:21AM

Wow! Thanks Gilbert!

The coin was passed on to me by my father. That's all I know about it...

Thanks for the tip and if I start getting delusional about the coin I'll be sure to let you know.
