    Hard to believe it's in PCGS plastic.
    Wonder what they were thinking.
    It's just too easy to look it up.
    Probably stolen and sold to them.

    Depends on how distracting that scratch is zooming down by the ear into the cheek.

    Who ever sold it didn't buy it.

    If you are pleased with the coin, thats all that really matters.




    Now your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to finish the set in MS64FBL!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Most likely the guy didn't know what he was doing and selling the Ben for just making money to pay for his table. I was at my market an hour ago, and was talking to my old stamp guy who know does coins. He was telling me how he sets all his Morgans as BU, telling me he lets the other guy work for it. He also sad some of his PCG NAC slabs as not as good as those Morgans not slabbed. I told him grading is very subjective based on who's doing the grading therefore, with that said, the guy who sold you the Ben most likely didn't know much or had many more you didn't see.

    Excellent find.

    The seller probably won't be in business for long if that is all they know about what items are worth. (either that, or what was previously mentioned.... that the seller did not have to buy that item.......)

    Well since you went to a flea market, unless you came home with a flea it looks like you got flea-ced. (Not a bad consolation prize though as getting it into the plastic is worth $15 alone.)
