Here is a PCGS G-06. Please post more if you have one.

topstuf · June 28, 2004 9:23AM

Looks like I made it a bit small. Left name on cuz I got it from him.

Okay I biggered it.

ksteelheader · June 28, 2004 9:28AM

Hey, I just got mine in the mail today....
,

topstuf · June 28, 2004 9:30AM

Well at least 3 of us are condition freaks.

ksteelheader · June 28, 2004 9:32AM

<< Well at least 3 of us are condition freaks. >>

There are a lot of collectors who would be very glad to have these coins in the condition they are in!...

Cladiator · June 28, 2004 9:37AM

I wonder who has the one MS62PL 1893S...

ps. and why is it the pop reports dont give specific populations for the lower grades...especially on coins like this when low grades are the only attainable grades for most.

numonebuyer · June 28, 2004 9:38AM

I love mine.

You can really see the difference between G-04 and G-06. Look at the reeding on the edges.

jdimmick · June 28, 2004 9:38AM

Here's mine, need a hoster!

sorry about the size of the pic, trying to keep beow 50

LanLord · June 28, 2004 9:43AM

Jealousy abounds in my reply.

I have none, but really want one.

It's only a matter or time (and therefore dollars) and prioritization.

My guestimate is that I will have one in vf or better within 2 years, if I can keep from getting sidetracked

and keep working steadily.

Thanks for showing your 93s dollars.

ksteelheader · June 28, 2004 9:45AM

Nice one Jim!!

topstuf · June 28, 2004 9:52AM

ksteelheader.....I am very happy with mine.
Nuttin wrong with "Goods"

Affordable ...............and...............necessary.

Not a bad combo.

Always buyers for affordable keys in any series.

Bobk · June 28, 2004 9:57AM

Nice pics guys. Thanks for sharing. One of these days I'll get one. Bob

ksteelheader · June 28, 2004 9:59AM

My dealer has another one, but he has it stuck in his personal collection right now! It's about VG, and I'll talk him out of it one of these days!!..

BAJJERFAN · June 28, 2004 9:59AM

numonebuyer · June 28, 2004 10:11AM

I like this one best out of the bunch.

numonebuyer · June 28, 2004 10:45AM

I like the F-12 as well, but you have to go look at bajjerfan's.

I saw one exactly like that offered by BlueManGroup (or, something like that. . .) on eBay not too long ago...

UncleWiggly · June 28, 2004 11:07AM

Thanks, since I don't know how to grade very well this helps! Jerry

greghansen · June 28, 2004 11:18AM

#1: PCGS VG10

#2: PCGS VF25

and #3: PCGS VF35

numonebuyer · June 28, 2004 11:23AM

Thanks Greg.

Now that is what I am talking about. More pictures. Anybody out there got an uncirculated 1893-S they would like to share?

BAJJERFAN · June 28, 2004 11:29AM

Nice coins Greg

when did you snag the 35?

numonebuyer · June 28, 2004 11:11PM

ttt

paigowjohnny · June 29, 2004 12:28AM

<< I saw one exactly like that offered by BlueManGroup (or, something like that. . .) on eBay not too long ago... >>

I actually got that coin off ebay from BlueMoonCoins...not quite a year ago.

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 12:33AM

Well, I would post a picture but I don't have a 93-S any longer. I sold the two I had about a year and a half ago, both were ANACS Net AG 3s. At where they are now, I won't be buying one until there is a correction in the prices.

numonebuyer · June 29, 2004 12:41AM

K6AZ

I respect your opinion, but this is the line in my PCGS Registry Set for the 1893-S

PCGS No. Date Denom Grade Pop Pop Higher
7226 1893-S S$1 G06 163 2257

So, mine at G-06 has only 2257 graded by PCGS at higher than G-06. Do you really see a decline in 1893-S prices. They are hard to find in PCGS and just try to negotiate down with someone selling one.

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 12:54AM

They will come down sooner or later from where they are right now. The last time I looked, PCGS had graded roughly 2500 in all grades, I believe NGC was close to that, and who knows how many ANACS has graded. While scarce, they are by no means rare, there are always several on the market at any one time. Right now Heritage has a VG10 they want $2250 for.

If I'm wrong, that's what I'll probably wind up with, a GD 4 or 6. Which registry set is yours?

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 1:02AM

Make that a VG08

numonebuyer · June 29, 2004 2:51AM

My PCGS Registry Set is R. K. B.'s Morgan (Basic) Collection I

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 2:56AM

Should have looked at your link! I've checked out your set. I see I'm not the only one who has had trouble finding a decent lightly circulated 95-S.

numonebuyer · June 29, 2004 2:59AM

1895-S is very tough indeed.

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 3:04AM

There are a group of later S mints, the 95-S, 96-S, 03-S and 04-S that seem to come two ways - either mint state or heavily worn. I finally gave up on trying to find AU 96-S and 04-S and bought them in 63. And my better half nearly killed me.

BAJJERFAN · June 29, 2004 3:08AM

And after you buy one they start comin out of the woodwork. Like washing yer car THEN it rains or waitin ferever for the bus till you light up a smoke!!

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 3:19AM

Yep, Heritage has a PCGS 96-S in 63 closing tonight in the internet auction. Right now it is at $1840 with the juice.

paigowjohnny · June 29, 2004 3:27AM

<< I finally gave up on trying to find AU 96-S and 04-S >>

Exactly the two I'm looking for...I know what you mean...

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 3:56AM

Yeah, I remember the feeling. Before I broke down and bought the 96-S in 63, there was a real nice looking PCGS AU58 on eBay. I had a snipe loaded at over $1250, or about 25% over MS60 greysheet. The thing went for $1300+ and my snipe didn't even have a chance.

numonebuyer · June 29, 2004 7:43AM

This thread has morphed into a discussion on hard to find Morgans...

So be it. Let the discussions continue... However, if you have any pictures of 1893-S Morgans, go ahead and post them.

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 8:05AM

<< This thread has morphed into a discussion on hard to find Morgans... >>

Well, you see, the 93-S is so scarce we ran out of pictures, so we had to venture on to other tough S mint dates.

paigowjohnny · June 29, 2004 8:51AM

While we're at it...I really need to upgrade my 01-S as well...the 62 on Heritage tonight priced me out though for that particular coin.

BAJJERFAN · June 29, 2004 8:58AM

A fairly decent 96-S in a green label holder!!

AND

A PQ 1904-S in 63!!

Nice coins like these are as scarce or scarcer than the 93-S.

dollardude · June 29, 2004 9:05AM

Okay, don't laugh. Here's mine. She's seen some action, but at least I got one in a PCGS slab. I slabbed her myself!

I JUST got a new 1880-CC raw about MS60 or so yesterday. I don't have a pic yet...

Shamika · June 29, 2004 9:06AM

<< And after you buy one they start comin out of the woodwork. >>

How true. I had been looking for a nice 1928-P Buffalo in MS65 or better for two years. I finally purchased an MS66 in a Signature sale and within six weeks saw seven more in 66 and four others in 65.

Where the hell were these hiding when I was pulling my hair out?

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 9:07AM

What that 01-S in 62 up to? I bought mine in 64 about three years ago, paid $510 for it at the time.

paigowjohnny · June 29, 2004 9:16AM

<< What that 01-S in 62 up to? >>

$402 including the juice...plus then 8% sales tax and shipping....

I'll wait...

K6AZ · June 29, 2004 9:21AM

I found it the hard way. Geez, you would think Heritage would be getting better with their images.

I don't blame you on passing at this point. Some 62s can be really nice and flashy with just one or two heavy marks. I don't like this coin because of the "stain" type toning on the reverse. For a little more you could find a decent 63.

numonebuyer · June 29, 2004 10:24AM

Dollardude

Nobody is laughing. However, I wish the picture was a little better. It is hard to really see the coin.

dollardude · June 29, 2004 11:06AM

Thanks, Numonebuyer. I'm using a Sony Cybershot 5 megapixel camera with audio/video/macro capability. I thought it was pretty slick, but I've not been too impressed with the results thus far compared to the pix that others take. I think I may get a different digital camera with a better lens someday, like maybe a Nikon Coolpix or that Fuji with the big lens.
