Results in! Sent in all my Morgans to be graded..

hiijackerhiijacker Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭
I sent all of my raw Morgans in to PCGS grading. As I have received BB's before and hate that, I sent them all in bulk so I only paid for the ones that graded. There were quire a few common ones I probably should not have sent in, but it was worth it because I met the threshold to not have to pay for the ungradd coins. Until I get the coins back I am not entirely sure of how I did, but I am happy overall.

Let me now what you think.

For some reason the shared order link is not working. Here are the grades.

    Did you get the grades that you expected?

    I am no expert on most of these coins but from what I can tell most of these are not worth paying to be graded. Are there a few key dates in the group that made it pay off? I am thinking you should let a dealer screen these before you do this again.

    I don't see any keys (in the grades listed). And I see very few that looks like they they'd get a worthwhile value jump in the plastic. All I see is the coin that graded 65 and the CCs that graded 64. Arguably the '34-S in XF-45, I guess. And *maybe* the VG-10 '92-S (the latter two mostly for authentication that the mintmarks weren't added).

    Unless this netted out to little more than $5 per coin, it hardly seems like it should be worth it. Then again, who knows what some people will pay for circulated common dates in pla$tic these days?

    I am a little anal. I wanted all of my Morgans in plastic. I also did not want to pay any fees to grade any coins which would get BB'ed. There were a few semi-key dates which did get graded. I probably should have shown them to a dealer first. But I do not have a relationship with a dealer in my area who would be willing to take the time to do that for me. I probably should find a local collector who can help advise me what to do with all of the coins I inherited. I just figured to send in all of the Morgans first under the bulk program. For the rest of the coins which I do not have over a 100 of, I will need someone to help me screen them. If anyone can recommend someone in the Chicago area let me know. I also need to figure out what to do with all of the BB'ed coins. I also just noticed that I had a few key date coins that did not grade, like an 1889-cc

    Its money well spent if your happy, not everyone who collects does it for the financial reward. Everyone gets there thrill and satisfaction from coin collecting in different ways. Congrats

    hiijacker,

    i did not mean to give offense. if you are doing this to learn, it
    can be quite valuable if you know morgans is your true calling in
    this hobby.

    i know if i sent in that many half eagles all at once and they came
    back with pcgs's current opinion, i would learn a ton!

    but it would be a costly lesson.

    I see a lot of people who want their $5 coins holdered and pay the $18. They just like the look and feel of collecting and storing slabbed coins. There are also the registry people having fun filling in the blank holes and they need a serial number for that.

    There are many reasons to spend money on grading even if there is no financial return.

    As long as you understand that it was for your enjoyment and not for financial gain, that's cool.

    << <i>I also need to figure out what to do with all of the BB'ed coins. I also just noticed that I had a few key date coins that did not grade, like an 1889-cc >>

    Definitely go to NCS or ANACS with that one. Regardless of the problems, an '89-CC slabbed as authentic by NCS or ANACS is miles better than a raw coin where resale is concerned.

    I guess. Seems foreign to me, though; I'd love to be able to actually feel a well-worn old coin in my hands (sure as heck wouldn't do it with AU/MS/Proof coins) and feel like more of a direct link to history. In the plastic it just seems like my connection with history is once removed. But hey, different strokes and all that.

    1) I think I will learn a ton from looking at the bb'ed coins that are sent back to me.

    2) Considering my cost in these coins (free) I don't think I paid that much per coin to grade. It nets out to something like $11 a coin for the coins that graded and $7.50 overall.

    3) If I ever decide to sell some coins, I can now accuralty describe the grade.

    Many collectors know very little about grading and don't have the patience to learn. The slabs with the grade is just another way to store them with a little information semi-permanently attached to it.

    The 81-CC in G06 looks to be your best score as this date and the 85-CC and 03-O are the tougher Morgans to find in circulated grades.

    I forgot to mention also that a number of these coins are toned, as they were sitting in a box for many years. I do not know which coins graded and which did not, but some of these "common coins" may be of interest because of their color.

    Excatly which coins do you think should not be graded?

    1) The common coins entirley?

    2) The common coins below (fill in the blank) grade?

    3) The low grade CC- dollars? i.e I could sell it for more raw than wit this lower grade, as people mightl think it would grade higher.

    4) The low grade semi-key coins?

    Which exactly?

    From a *strictly* financial point of view? I'd say:

    * the coins you thought were some of the better mint state coins in the lot (at least 63+)

    * the better date coins ('34-S, maybe the better '92-S, and if you thought it might slab at PCGS, the '89-CC). These are the ones that are more commonly faked by altered dates or added mintmarks, and the "piece of mind" factor would convince people to pay a fair bit more for one authenticated by a reputable business with a guarantee.

    * the mint state CC coins.

    You may find enough people on eBay who value plastic enough to pay a premium for a slabbed AU-50 1887 Morgan (something which is worth little over melt in reality). And if you do, you may do fine.

    But there's more to this hobby than strictly financial considerations. (Otherwise it would be strictly a business and not a hobby.)

    Unless you have a specific reason for wanting them graded i.e. putting together a circ registry set or a grading set there was little reason to submit any of them for grading. Nothing exciting in the bunch except for the 81-cc. Post some pics of the toned ones or the ones that didn't grade.

    hiijacker- AWESOME!! you get 2 thumbs up for doing what a few dozen folk here are afraid to do- sned them in and get em slabbed no matter what.

    We all for the most part have this thing in the back ofour itty bitty heads that in order to slab the coin it must be 'high end'- well sadly how many can do what this person has done for the fun of it.

    hiijacker is calling it a LEARNING experience on grading- SO WHAT if his fees are 350 or 1,500.00 total!

    He did not say he was out to make a killing on the coins- he wanted them slabbed by the- as we all put it the best in the business. Hell he could have sent them to Anacs on their special and had them all slabbed with a designation for a potential Vam, and known that if the ones he is getting back in a bag the real reason why.

    All I have seen as far as posts in the last few months are the MONSTER toners or the 'perfect 70' Jeez- give this man a break- besides it being HIS money spent on the grading- he is doing what a lot of you went years only wanting to do- get them graded- because you had no faith in your own skill at grading a coin.

    I said this a long time ago- and it has been said here about 2 million times- grading is not exact, and no coin from the U.S. Mint is friggin perfect- it was made by man- not GOD.

    good for you hiijacker- enjoy what you have done- I'm sure that what ever you do with the coins they look good to you and you will be able to LEARN from them.

    This place is worse than a hen house with no eggs.

    Hey, I think it's a great way to see what "they" grade coins. I am cool with the bulk idea, save $, but get results where you can. I am a little lost on what you paid for the submission. $11 ave x 99 graded? Correct? A geat education.... guess what you pay per credit hour.....

    I would not have had the common Morgans graded at all unless they were at least solidly 64 in my eyes. I would only have the more common CC Dollars slabbed if they were mint state. I would probably slab all the better date CC Dollars for authentication purposes. The semi-key date coins are tougher to judge. I would have to evaluate them on a coin by coin basis. It would depends on where I felt my coins graded in relation to grades where there are large price jumps. I would also consider the likelihood of counterfeit specimens on the semi-keys.

    Some of my coins have some sentimental value to me, and many I have chosen to have slabb'd even though I knew full well they
    really were not slabbing candidates...

    But I do things I see fit and I choose to do, and I don't seek the understanding of others... Nor do I feel I need to make sense to anybody...

    I have my fun with the hobby, in my own way...

    I am not positive that this coin graded, because I may have sent in more than one 1897-O morgan's, but here is a picture of one of the toned coins I sent in. If this did grade, it only graded a VF30. But the color is gorgeous.

    I do. Look on the reverse to viewer's right of the eagle. That field is about the most obvious. It looks like they are fine, but there.

    For what it's worth, that's a pretty decent looking upper VF 89-CC, with or without a slab. Not a bad coin!

    The '89-CC looks cleaned, but not horribly so. All in all not a bad coin at all. Definitely go to NCS or ANACS with this one. Solid VF-30 details, I'd say.

    Mirabela, thanks for your verification, that's one of the areas that made me think it was. I agree, it does have nice details, and it's one of the cc's that I don't have, so it does have some appeal image

    Its money well spent if your happy, not everyone who collects does it for the financial reward. Everyone gets there thrill and satisfaction from coin collecting in different ways. Congrats


    I agree with that wholeheartedly.

    I sent in a few Morgans too that are worth basically the grading fee, Why? They were from my grandfather and i wanted them encapsulated.

    Not that my understanding is necessarily important to anybody else, but this is something I'll never understand. You can get a plastic snap-lok for 75 cents, and it offers pretty much the same protection as a slab.
