r/Morgans

Hey all, I'm new to this subreddit but figured this would be the place to ask: What grade do you all think this 1896P Morgan is?

Luster: Good cartwheel effect

Surface condition: very clear fields, with a painful ding on the cheek and a few bad marks below the neck/collar

Strike: above average

Eye appeal: clean and attractive

I think the main pain points here are the bag mark hits she took on the cheek from another coin's reeding and those scuffs on the neck/collar area.

I'm trying to become better at grading Morgans but I'm still building my experience. Based on what I have seen I think on an average day MS64, on a bad day MS63 and under the right grader's eye maybe an MS65?

Hello - can anyone help me get a grade idea on this coin i found? I don't see any mint mark. I think it's a 7/8T variant. Thank you 😁

I bought this 1880-O today for $95. It was the better of the 2 they had with same grade imo, and the obverse was better than one they as a choice or AU +

But it does have a gouge on the reverse and I was wondering if there was any consensus around how much something like that affected the value or grade of the coin.

And my 20$ Amazon light box came as well so I tried it out

Check out the obverse in God We Trust.

Love the toning

paid AU money for an ugly, tarnished raw 86-O slider. to NGC in January hoping for a miracle…and it came back UNC/AT. sent it back for conservation, and…

[in the spirit of full disclosure, I also sent an ugly, stained 78-CC in January. it too came back UNC/AT. sent it back for conservation, came back shiny and w/o stains…but UNC/scratched].

Any idea how this would grade? Any insights are appreciated.

Went the refiner and they had thousands of dollars on the way to the crucible. Went through and grabbed what I could.

Hours and hours and weeks of looking. I finally found my blue whale.

First pic is the online image. Second pic is direct light source inside. The third is passive window indoor window light.

As the title says… I now own 2 1893-S Morgans! I came by the G06 one as raw from an older gentleman selling his grandfathers collection (see my previous posts), and the F12 from another user on here who also received as an inheritance and sent it off to get graded, and offered it to me when he got it back.

Now I have to find one in XF/AU! I likely sell these two to fund the higher grade 🙃

They got me good, but it was dark and felt good so I purchased for 45.00. When I got home and seen no wear almost perfect and a CC I laughed.

I’m drooling over this one it’s going to CAC

I was given this coin in early 93’. Yes it’s real. Without refurbishing it what would think it would grade at? Monetary / grade is of no significance.

I have been staring at this on and off for 2 years. Pulled it out today and gave it another look.

I bought it 10 years ago from an online auction, zooming in and seeing the potential 8/7. I bid it up against someone else who saw the same thing… to $650 based on just on online images alone. Got two others CC for $150 that are not any interesting variety.

This is my first time posting this for an opinion other than my own.

My eyes aren’t trained enough yet is this worth getting graded. I more so wanted that beautiful toned color.

I'm curious to know what this would possibly grade out at? Thank you!!
