"Grades In" on 1921 Morgan received by PCGS 10/07

LeeG · October 3, 2004 10:17PM

Got this 1921 Morgan from one of those "Lot Sales" on ebay. This is my first coin to go to PCGS for Grading. Got it for a buck and think it's 63 maybe 64?

Edited on 11/23 to Add Digital Picture of coin:

Tough to tell from the picture but the coin looks like it has a lack of Luster. Stuff on her cheek also. Looks AU to me.

Either AU58 or MS64.

Russ, NCNE

dragon · October 4, 2004 2:34AM

Either XF-45 or MS67

I thought you were leaving ??????

earlwbollinger · October 4, 2004 3:16AM

Not bad at all, If I say.
But the Eagle looks like his chest has some wear, but maybe that is a weak strike or old worn down die.
The suspense builds as to what PCGS grades it as. . .

ss350camero: No Way could I go. Too much fun to be had around here! Thanks for asking! Lee

ziggy29 · October 4, 2004 4:03AM

You mean one of those "lot sales" lotteries actually came through with a "winner"?

ss350camaro · October 4, 2004 4:07AM

Lee,
Good, stick around and just don't let the occasional uproar get to you.

oh, and by the way. It's ss350camaro

LeeG · October 4, 2004 8:35AM

Sorry. My Bad on the spelling. But you should get a "Ford". Mustang All The Way!!! Ha, Ha, Lee

Betta285 · October 4, 2004 9:10AM

LeeG · October 4, 2004 9:48AM

Who stold my Pictures?

MFH · October 4, 2004 12:09PM

Looks AU 58.

( don't know how anyone could guess XF45 to MS 67 as a general range).

ER · October 4, 2004 12:13PM

Either 20 or 68.
Oh, yeah, Lee, next time you threaten to leave, I 'll kick your a$$ out the door, OK?

ar18 · October 4, 2004 12:24PM

64-65

Didn't this guy give his farewell anouncement yesterday

LeeG · October 4, 2004 11:22PM

ER we all need a good a$$ kicking once in a while to keep us honest! Relayer I did the post on 09/30 stating I was leaving.

Thanks for asking. Lee

Baley · October 4, 2004 11:41PM

Lots of "newbies" are in a big rush to get their first coins "graded."
When they get the results back.... well, you'll see.

kieferscoins · October 5, 2004 12:00AM

<< When they get the results back.... well, you'll see. >>

They blame it on PCGS 75% of the time.

When is the operative word here!

Are we taking bets how many more times Lee is going to threaten/promise to leave before he gets them back.

I say the over/under is 2!

LeeG · October 5, 2004 12:06AM

If it comes back AU50 I'm ok with that. I don't have high expectations for this coin. Who knows what the value of this coin will be in 10, 20, or 50 years. I sure don't. I'm not some big high dollar collector like some here. I'm starting out small as alot of us do and as my skills in grading get better I hope to be like others here and "Cherrypick". But all that's way down the road. Thanks, Lee

Baley · October 5, 2004 12:09AM

That's good, Lee, sounds like your expectations are realistic and you're after a learning experience, not a "score"

In that case, I think you'll have fun

RotatedRainbows · October 5, 2004 12:20AM

Kinda looks like it has dip residue on it so there is a good chance it will be body bagged.

numobri · October 5, 2004 12:21AM

Heeeee's Baaaack.

Good luck with your coin.

Brian

BowTieCoins · October 5, 2004 12:48AM

Glad to see you here Lee! & Good Luck with your coin, and I hope you will share your results with us too!

ksteelheader · October 29, 2004 11:09PM

Marty.....Dammit Boy!!!!

LeeG · October 29, 2004 11:12PM

I should have added that this was my "Free" Collector's Club Quarterly Submission. Lee

Gonfunko · October 29, 2004 11:15PM

In that case you made a profit.

LeeG · October 29, 2004 11:15PM

I know Marty. Not a "You suck" like your used to getting. But I'm happy with this for my first submission to PCGS. Thanks for your thoughts, Lee

MadMarty · October 29, 2004 11:26PM

Trust me, I have more lopsided submissions than you think!!

ksteelheader · October 29, 2004 11:27PM

<< Trust me, I have more lopsided submissions than you think!! >>

Yes, the one's that contain my coins!!!

ibzman350 · October 29, 2004 11:33PM

Good job on your first submission

Something seems amiss in Marty's P&L statement.

coinguy89 · November 25, 2004 9:00AM

Nice job, you got lucky for your first submission.

LeeG · November 25, 2004 9:02AM

Appreciate It! Lee

morgannut2 · November 25, 2004 12:16PM

Congadulations on the great grade and an attractive coin. Everyone is worried about the ecomonics here, but I think you are smart to start off with the more inexpensive common dates first, to get an idea on how Morgans are graded. I hope you already have the paperback by Q.D. Bowers (the one sold by www.anrcoins.com at their shop). Bowers has been an expert on these coins for decades and I certainly learned a lot from the Morgan Book, even though I've collected Morgans for 35 years.

LeeG · November 25, 2004 12:22PM

Thanks morgannut2 for your nice comments. I'm going to add the Q. D. Bowers Book on Morgans to my "Want List". Thanks Again, Lee.

PS I appreciated everyones comments throughout this thread! Lee

Stuart · November 25, 2004 1:22PM

LeeG: Congratulations on making an MS-64 on your first submission!! It's certainly a good start!

SilverDollarMan · November 25, 2004 11:38PM

What is it you wanted to say bear?

tmot99 · December 9, 2004 10:43AM

I have to agree with morgannut. If you want to test your abilites to grade a coin, why not do it cheap? Why does a submission have to be for big bucks?
