halfdollar Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Another newer pickup for me. Sent this one in to PCGS....wonder what it will grade? Also looks struck thru grease on the lower reverse. What are your thoughts? Received the image and grade tonight. Does anyone want to guess the grade?

jtryka Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Looks like a nice coin, I would guess the grade would be MS-64, but I am by no means a Morgan expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think a well-struck morgan is pretty in any grade because of the hair and features. it probably beats a poorly struck morgan in high grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I barely see any wear that would classify that as 62... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 MS62 No proof like at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 62 ? Wow I don't see it. Must be one of those, you gotta hold it coins. looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 MS62 I think we all agree it's more like MS64. Look on the bright side. At least it didn't come back bagged and tagged "Improperly Cleaned". If you are feeling lucky "liberate" it and send it off to NGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would resubmit it to NGC. PCGS isn't a reliable grading service, IMO, despite their status as "THE TPG". Ebay sellers and HSN gave PCGS their overly inflated status. Any service that will assign mint state grades to chopmarked 8 Reale coins with circulation wear on them isn't to be taken seriously in my book. I've seen way too many AU 58 Morgans in PCGS MS63 holders to view PCGS as anything but a fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
