Welcome Joseph! I am in Colorado as well, live in Falcon

Welcome

Welcome! Since you mentioned it, the market had given the masses a very mistaken mindset concerning grading companies and what they are all about. The following is worth your time to read, and I have had a lot of good feedback from people concerning this info - especially beginners. Thinking of Slab...

Machine doubling .

Paul

Can I see images of the full obverse and reverse, … & one of the Mintmark please?

Paul

Your coin looks original......

Info for your coin: LINK

Paul

Using your picture for a judgment, I mean that it has not been cleaned

Daniel

Welcome!

Daniel

Nice coin but not a doubled die, if you look closely under the digits, in the area in question, you will see cold flow lines. It's a form of die deterioration.

Daniel

I don't do it enough and when I have they got the same grade and one ANACS was down-graded.

thairunts

Great question. I've often wondered the same thing. Does the original holder prejudice the result? "Aww.. we can't let ANACS look better than us.."

Daniel

The only rare 1982 D small date are the ones one a copper planchet and weigh 3.1 grams, otherwise they're extremely common coins.

It looks like some sort of acidic chemical was dropped over the date corroding what was there that would say 1971. Looks like a school science project unless the big leagues of CoinHelp Community say otherwise (Daniel and Paul).

Earle42

Sorry, I disagree. Note how the back of the coin corresponding to the funky area on the front is also messed up by having everything flattened? This pics seem to show this coin took some sort of a hit on the front. The corresponding area on the REV was flattened simultaneously. I think I could dupli...

Although these images are very nice, I don't believe it is possible to accurately determine/describe the anomaly on the obverse of the coin... With the image posted here The weakness in the letters on the upper portion on the reverse, are most likely due to the device depth on the adjacent side (st...

Listen to Paul's opinion

The term "Floating Roof" is nothing more than a gimmicky name made up to try to get people to pay more for a face value coin. Coin dies are polished all the time to extend their life. The polishing removes some details. Whoever started the floating roof craze noticed that the side of the r...

Paul

I used to watch the sell for $70 all day long… On a very popular auction site!

Why?
Buyers are gullible when they are greedy!

Daniel

Floating roof is nothing. So don't look for those.

SensibleSal66

It look right to me anyways . I'm not sure about the toning . Maybe someone else can shed some light .

Daniel

It looks okay at first glance but the coin has been cleaned and has retoned.

SensibleSal66

Looks fine to me . Please crop picture next time . I use a program called PhotoScape ( FREE DL ) , easy to use .

SensibleSal66

No it's not. This is cropped .

Within specs from the mint.

I'm still relatively new to collecting, and this site always presents great opportunities to learn something new, like about 1970-S Lincoln cents. I didn't know there was a variety: http://lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html From this article, seems yours is a large date, and look...

I use nitrile.

Those are roller marks and usually the strike from the dies would "smooth" them out, but sometimes they did not. The US Mint used rollers to reduce the planchet stock to the correct height and sometimes the rollers left marks on the blank (Type 1) planchet.

Hey Joe, "where you goin with that gun in your hand", no that's not it, ohhh yeah the Morgan. It's not just about tick marks, bag marks, chatter, and hairlines. You have to add, luster/cartwheel effect, frostiness (which is related to Luster), eye appeal (the mysterious quality that is kno...

Daniel

AU58 but those marks on the check could net an AU details scraped. It's still a nice coin.

Earle42

And another very important thing to remember: grading companies base nothing they do on a verifiable science. Yet collectors (human nature) in general WANT a professional level of reliability. Since the method used by these companies, subjectivity, cannot possibly reach levels of accuracy (repeatabl...

Daniel

UNC is uncirculated, meaning it's not almost uncirculated and never worn. Everyone posting images here is confusing.

SensibleSal66

I rarely own or buy anything "raw". Then again, there are fake or less graded coins in Third Party holders. IMHO. You just have to do your research.

Daniel

Some dealers who don't agree with the grade crack them out then sell them.

Daniel

All Morgan Dollars are VAMs, VAMs ID the exact die (obverse and reverse) of each Morgan dollar and most VAMs do not add value to a coin since they're so common. What you want is a Hot 100, Hot 50 or a VAM with a nickname like Spitting Eagle or something to that affect. Most VAMs would not get an att...

Paul

I agree

Algots

Go to VAMWorld, look up morgan dollars, look up the date and mint, and compare and try to match your coin to the vams already known for that date.
