AMRC posted this in this thread. I think an official "YOU SUCK" is in order.
<< <i>This year saw me whittle my Morgan want list down to two coins. 95 done and 2 to go. Acquisitions included the 93-S and a 95-S in 62. But none of those thrilled me as much as this one.
It is not my most expensive, or rarest, or nicest looking, but definitely my most exciting acquisition this year. I originally bought it for melt. I didn't know it was in lot of 90% I had just purchased on the way to the Long Beach show. While I was at the dealers table in Long Beach selling all my 90% I grabbed the bag I just bought to add to my sale and I noticed some pre-25 SLQ's in the batch literally as I was pushing them across the table. I pulled these aside and put them in a bag to check later when I got home. When I got home I threw the bag onto my shelf and did not get around to checking them for a week or so. I turned over the 3rd coin and saw this! I went back and forth at least three times with the Grey Sheet checking and rechecking as I have let myself get prematurely giddy way to many times in the past. But sure enough, it was the real thing.
I sent it to PCGS and nearly fell off my chair when it came back XF 40. I took photos and posted them on this forum to get other opinions on the grade. Most shot it down as over graded, and have to admit I thought it was as well. Recently I sent it to CAC and it came back with a GREEN BEAN! I mean this coin just keeps on giving. So it is my favorite purchase of the year.
And for those of you pondering the plight of the poor seller. He received an additional check from me when the coin came back from PCGS. So I'll be keeping this coin even though this is my only graded SLQ. But heck if you are going to have one for your type collection this one is not a bad one to have.

<< <i>So i don
t have to look it up, lets have some mo facts, how rare, what is the pcgs price guide value and is that accurate, come on details man! >>
PCGS Price Guide for this coin in XF40 says $1,350
Looks like 1,360,000 original mintage.

And, a step above "others" by sending a check to the person you bought it in "junk" silver from! "Others" wouldn't do that, nor have they done that.
Definitely a dealer to work with
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>I don't know if it's a You Suck since he did send the guy more money for the coin...
I doubt he sent him full value. Splitting the windfall would be plenty. Jerry
I agree. He sucks. Big time!!
YOU SUCK!

i got a MS62FH SLQ into a MS66FH holder recently.
I sent it to PCGS and nearly fell off my chair when it came back XF 40. I took photos and posted them on this forum to get other opinions on the grade. Most shot it down as over graded, and have to admit I thought it was as well.
As for the grade, I think it looks correct for the issue. Here is my VF30

<< <i>Definitely a nice rip, but I honestly can't see a 40 out of that coin, especially with the reverse. Does this date and mint typically come weakly struck? Moldnut, can you post the reverse on your 30? >>
23 s is known for being mushy even in UNC, that has a great date and 75% of shield detail with a good look. 40 is about right. They ted to have only partial dates as high as vf.
