In all seriousness, if you have the dough to blow, just because you are curious, you could do that. It's your coin. There are more things to coin collecting than just making a profit from it. That's how I think about it. Best of luck.

Sorry. I'm not sure what you mean. The photo is cropped.? More detail or resolution perhaps? Thanks.

It almost looks like it could have been broken out of a proof set.

Could I get some opinions on what I am seeing here, please? I don't really have any concerns about the reverse, but the obverse looks to have tiny scratches starting on the field under the chin, moving through the hair and then into the top right field. Neither the right or left fields, nor the reve...

I got it in my head to try my hand at buying some raw morgan dollars from sellers online, with the intention of having them graded. I learned the hard way, after spending a good amount of money on beautiful looking Morgans, of the somewhat not as common UNC Details Scratched. I hope sellers aren't t...

A modern clad business strike graded MS65 is actually pretty good. Even uncirculated, these coins are in rolls, bank bags, and get marked up pretty good, even before they go into circulation. Rarely, an MS66 and MS67 will show up. I, personally, have never seen anything higher than that. The only &q...

I literally handle Morgans with these marks weekly, graded and ungraded. I've examined them under the scope, tried to remove them in the past, so I knew it would not come off. It can't it's a planchet impurity. It is always going to look like this. I don't know why my answer was ignored here. Would...

While generally buying slabbed coins will make sure you don't get a fake, the hobby existed for a very, very long time before people thought they needed someone to ID fakes for them. Today there likely are more raw fakes being sold than before, but unfortunately there are also fake slabs as well (n...

There is absolutely no way to predict what the grades coming back on these coins would be. Please take the time to read the facts about these companies below. It's worth your time to read. Following is info concerning the actual nature of grading companies that can help people make better educated ...

It's actually a bicentennial coin. 200 years. You could get 3-5$, I would think. Depends on what someone is willing to pay. Those are cool coins. I agree on cool coins, but disagree on the $3-$5 price tag. You may disagree. Ebay sold items justifies the 3$ - $5 (plus about .79 cents for shipping) e...

But not everyone is asking all of the questions these well intentioned copy and paste articles are answering. Correct. Being a teacher all of my life, I found anticipating questions that would be spawned from a single answer could easily be taken care of by supplying the next logical answers ahead ...

Think of it this way...no circulated coin with that wear would be that clean without being cleaned or polished.

josephcolorado

I like cherry picking coins I like that are already slabbed because someone else paid for em'.

josephcolorado

Only my opinion. Retail is probably around 35-45 bucks. A dealer would probably give no less than melt, so maybe around 20 bucks (goes up and down). Others chime in? Thanks.

josephcolorado

I was reading about doubled dies on Coneca, specifically about Class 1. How is this different from machine doubling? Is class 1 doubling a permanent twist in the die, or just a 1 off type of thing? Clarification would be helpful. Thanks.

josephcolorado

You are going to need to go back and read how to post coin images and questions on this forum. They don't play around with what is requested.

Look how thin the top cross of the "T" is. Machine doubling shaved away the metal. A DDO doesn't do this.

We don't grade coins for mint state as in MS65 or MS66 in this forum, you must send it off to get a grade. There's no shortcuts in grading coins, no one can tell you what PCGS would do hence the dealers comments you quoted. I love how it's most often the seller, telling the buyer it will grade high...

josephcolorado

Nope. But that is a seriously sweet coin. Looks like an overstrike.

josephcolorado

I'm no expert, but that is just a bullion coin, Albeit an American Eagle "minted as a U.S. dollar". Lots of coins come out looking this way. The die is just offset from the planchet a bit. Unless it's like super super major (half moon type of stuff), I don't think this is very unique. Amer...

Hey Vic, that is a "Private Label". This is nothing but a marketing ploy, Brilliant Uncirculated means nothing, other than it is UNC, and shiny and adds no value to the coin. Littleton makes an agreement with NGC to slab some UNC shiny coins, and then they sell them like the slab means so...

josephcolorado

Yes. That is the error known as "Someoneious Smasheous" in the Latin. Or in the Greek "Crusheth contortious". All kidding aside, this is post mint damage, IMO. There are die experts on here that might know more about this type of error than I do.

josephcolorado

Hello! I Personally would not. Why? The value of this coin is far less the grading fees. The word is spelled "Authenticated" . :shhh: "Authinicated" is when you stick a coin on the railroad tracks. I would advise against this or else you will have nothing but "melt" va...

Just a fun fact. I sent a number of silver coins out for grading, seems like last year. Oh, it was last year. Anyhow, I "preserved" them using the Daniel method, step by step from one of his videos. I am happy to report they all came back with a straight grade. More than 5 but less than 10...

I don't know if anyone has previously posted about this or not, but acetone and nitrile gloves do not play well together. You will have finger-tip-less gloves in seconds.

Cool find! I believe it is a dancing lady off a globe table lamp. Here is one listed on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265089456359?mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5336443428&toolid=10001&customid=dms_76514&mkevt=1&mkcid=1 Oh my goodness. How hilarious. How on earth (no pun inten...

Are you serious? I would beg to differ. That's a sweet coin.

josephcolorado

This is what is known as the "It's getting hot in here" error, popular in late 2000's night clubs. "What a world. What a world".

I already have Morgan Dollar taste on an Eisenhower Dollar budget You can still collect Morgan's at flea markets and such. Maybe stick with high AU. Unless it's the Holy Grail, you shouldn't be spending more than 50$ a coin. Point is, you can still collect them at a lower price point. Nice first Mo...

Saw this Morgan at a yard sale and thought it looked nice for the price. Curious about what looks like a die crack, and possible cud on the reverse near the words United and DOLLAR. Oh, by the way. That is, in fact, a die crack on the reverse. And there's something going on on the obverse. To my kn...

I don't think there is really any way to say. In keeping with cultural relevance, I would guess very early 20th Century, well before WWI.
