Not everyone has a Morgan with 69,389 graded higher !

Just added it to my low grade Morgan Set Best of the Worst Morgans

Awesome collection!!

Zoins · November 20, 2006 11:36AM

It's amazing how good the clad coinage is. I never see clad coins that are that worn. Very cool reminder of the past!

GoldenEyeNumismatics · November 20, 2006 11:57AM

real nice. I'm yet to find a person who doesn't appreciate ultra worn morgans

Newb · November 20, 2006 12:07PM

That's awesome CC...I love that stuff. I want to submit this one but the date is gone...just...gone..

PCGS wouldn't grade it, would they?

Unless they own an 1881-S in MS64

sliderider · November 20, 2006 12:15PM

Not good enough. It's has to be a PO1.

Newb, no they wouldn't grade yours. It has to be readily identifiable by year and mintmark in some way.

Probably not...unless it had a 'D' mint mark.

Newb · November 20, 2006 12:48PM

That's what I figured - why can't they just give it a POOOOO and a ? for the year lol

Maybe this might get a PO?

CarsonCityGold · November 20, 2006 1:00PM

That ones got a shot!

FatMan · November 20, 2006 1:04PM

Bottom of the Pops. I guess that makes it a Pop Bot™

And a 1904-O of all dates....1904-O was a very rare date until the treasury release of BU's by the bagfull in the 1950's and 1960's. That date is one that is much more seen in BU than any other grade. Congrats.

Here is something I got back today. They didn't put the 1887/6-O and 1891 VAM-2 attributions becaus eof the level of wear but that is exactly what they are.

And I would have graded the first 1885-CC and the 1887/6-O as PO1 and the 1891 as AG3.

Coxe · November 20, 2006 2:39PM

Newb -- Why couldn't they grade that one? I am puzzled. It is a D reverse with an s mintmark. It could ONLY be 1921-S. I would send it in for review.

coinnut86 · November 20, 2006 2:47PM

Dang! some of those should be just plain PO

Nice set

How do you tell it's a D reverse? The feathers on the arrows?

I'll gather up the battle weary veterans and send them in.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, the arrow feathers are unmistakable on a D reverse.

Smittys · November 21, 2006 2:29AM

How about this 1888-O, will it make Po1

Is that "S" unique to the 21-S? If so, you could get that slabbed as PO-01.

Coxe · November 21, 2006 2:37AM

The reverse is unique to the 1921 date. The s on that reverse is unique to the 1921-S by extension.

Colorfulcoins · November 21, 2006 2:51AM

Not that I'm bragging (I am) but my 1923 Peace is a pop 1 with 100,766 graded higher!

Zoins · November 21, 2006 3:06AM

<< The reverse is unique to the 1921 date. The s on that reverse is unique to the 1921-S by extension. >>

What are the chances of that? It's begging to be slabbed!

Connecticoin · November 21, 2006 10:37AM

<< The reverse is unique to the 1921 date. The s on that reverse is unique to the 1921-S by extension. >>

It's so worn I could not tell it is an 1921 reverse. I'm almost certain that "S" is only on the 1921-S, so that seals it. The owner of that coin should send it in -- some of the "PO-01" collectors might pay some serious (i.e. hundreds) money for it.

Newb · November 21, 2006 10:40AM

<< I'm almost certain that "S" is only on the 1921-S, so that seals it. >>

What do you mean by "that S"?

Coxe · November 21, 2006 11:00AM

Here are the tailfeathers on the various reverses.

A Reverse (used only in 1878 -- 8TF reverse)

B1 Reverse (used one some 1878)

B2 Reverse (used on some 1878 and a small fraction of 1879 and 1880 dates)

C Reverse (used on some 1878, 1879, and 1880 and all 1881 through 1904)

D Reverse (used on all 1921 and no other dates)

If you look at the tailfeathers on that coin, it could only be the D reverse.

BTW, some Chinese counterfeiters did a superb job of creating rarities by creating their own hubs to make dies. However, they made the critical error of using a 1921 reverse (D reverse) as their template and used it to make rarity dies of other dates. They pop up all the time on eBay and can be easily dismissed by anyone who recognizes this.

If that is a pop 1, then it is also very PQ for the grade!!

ROBERTB · November 21, 2006 2:06PM

SHOWOFF

I just made a POP 1 with only 69,389 higher !!
