Agree just PMD.

Those letter on the shoulder of Lincoln are always there on modern cents and always that size, if this is a dryer coin the tumbling of the dryer flattens the rim.

I would consider that to be a nice medium die chip, it does not add any value to the coin as it is not a variety.

Damaged, looks like a metal detector find.

Just a stain or some toning that gives the appearance when the light hits it a certain way, the second set of photos clearly shows that there is nothing there that would form a shape.

Dryer or spooned coin from the photos, value $.01

Did you do any due diligence and check to see if there are any known DDR's for this date/mm?

I think it could go either way, a coin flip grade at 5pm on Friday.

Well there is one truth that is for sure with regards to any 1964 SMS coin, nobody is going to just find one laying around. No matter what side of the fence you are on concerning the validity of the term SMS for the handful of coins in question it is clear that those coins came from only one source, the mint director who was given the coins after they were minted. So anyone that claims to find a 1964 SMS coin in the wild is simply wishing and dreaming.

In the ballpark, could be as low as FR02 or as you said AG03

Well since the guy that posted the coin is the one that owns the coin and the same guy that wrote "counterfeit" why is it that you feel that Idhair owes himself an explanation?

Just proof Kennedy half dollar coins, not SMS.

Just to clarify; both NGC and PCGS have graded Morgan dollars up to and including grades of MS69. PCGS shows 238 graded in MS68 and higher (2 at MS69) for 1881-S Morgan dollars; NGC's pop report shows a total of 327 graded in grades MS68 and higher (2 at MS69) for 1881-S Morgan dollars. If your point is that TPG's do not grade Morgan dollars at these high grades with the same frequency as ASE's that would be correct. However it is incorrect to say that no major grading service has ever graded a Morgan dollar above the MS67 level. I do not know the material used but I am fairly certain that it is inert, however like the TPG slabs these are not airtight. I think you are correct that the coin pictured here may have some haze on it, my guess is that came from the environment it has been exposed to at sometime in the past. To the op @Dejone Maxwell, your GSA CC Morgan looks very nice, better than many of the GSA CC Morgan dollars. From the photos I would grade it as MS64.

Glad you were able to add the comments back in, @Revenant may have hit on the issue of a bug. I'll second his recommendation to report the issue to the registry team and have them look into it.

@ldhall; from the photos this looks to be a generation 17 NGC holder. These holders were in use from late 2004 to early 2008 per the information gathered by Conder101. In mid 2007 some fake 17gen holders started to appear on places like ebay, the fakes were easily detected due to a misspelling on the reverse label and an incorrect type font on the obverse label. All of this information was put onto the NGC website in early 2008 but I could not find it so most likely it was removed when the website was redesigned. Thanks to Conder101 for his efforts in slab generation identification as it is his research that provided all the above information. From your photos your holder has the correct type font for the obverse label and the reverse looks to be legit also. I do not think you have anything to worry about as far as the authenticity of this coin or holder. I would agree that it is not necessary to have the coin reholdered, however many people have had coins reholdered for OCD reasons. Also the reverse hologram is on the outside of the plastic shell not the inside, it was damaged by either a dealer sticker that pulled off that small section of the hologram or being dropped at some time in the past.

Awesome that it worked out for you, your type set just gets better and better!

Yes.

Yep reed marks that come from the edge reeding of another coin that banged into this one during transport, not an error and no value over face.

A very nice album coin that has spent a lot of time in the channels of commerce.

The 23-S is harshly cleaned and worth melt not more, the 24 is nicer and from these photos I would say high AU condition. 1924 is a very common date so I would put the value around $30ish give or take.

Nice to see you posting again @robec1347!

This is a photographic/camera artifact, in hand these are brilliant mirror polished areas from when the die was lapped to remove a die clash. However the camera/lens interpret areas like this the same way it sees a modern proof coin where in photos the fields are black. Very common to see areas like this on many coins but especially on Mercury dimes. Another tell that the die was lapped is that the bridge of the nose is sinking into the field, again very commonly seen on Mercury dimes.

To keep from involving myself in the false grading debacle I am going to post a silver coin.

Toned copper is somewhat out of the ordinary for me.
