I am by no means an expert so can only give limited advice. But when posting pics of coins please be sure to show both sides of the coin and make the pictures as clear as possible. Here is a link for your coin https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/india-british-1-2-rupee-km-553-1946-1947-cuid-1134764-duid-1478425

Thank you much. I just want.to be sure that I am looking at and understanding it all correctly. And also in the event I ever decide to sell this coin, I didn't want someone else thinking there was something hinky.

@kbbpll I had wondered if that wasn't the case but then I saw other Morgan labels without that "S". Aren't all Morgans silver and therefore should have that on the label?

Ok so I am a bit confused. I have this Morgan that had previously been graded and slabbed by NGC. The part that has me confused is on the label. Is shows 1889 S$1. It is showing a S mint mark however the coin itself, nor when I check the cert verification, does it have a mint mark. Only shows it on the label. And in my.limited understanding, if the coin does not have a mm, then there should not be one on the label. Out of curiosity I checked ebay and found 1 other similar to this. Same year even. But any other from the same year, if no mm on the coin, no mm on the label. So I am wondering if there is something fishy going on with this? A simply oversight? Should I post this in the ASK NGC section? Just want others takes as you all know I have very limited knowledge of most of this. TIA

Thank you both for your input and advice. The way I was seeing it, they were packaged at the mint and therefore no circulation issues. And as such, in my mind, I would think they should get at least a 65. Granted, other variables would be at work on the actual grade such as dings, cracks, CAM or UC designation and the like.

Actually that photo is just one that I got off the net. Mine are all put up and didn't want to dig them out for a general idea. I honestly do not know if I have a type 1 or 2 sets. I have not looked that closely, yet. I also do not know if I will break them up. I am mulling around a lot of different things and that is just 1 of the thoughts. I do appreciate the feedback and input it does help.

Hey all, this may be kind of a stupid question but I am going to ask anyhow. I have 4 of these type sets in the hard plastic. From what I have gathered they came from the mint this way. My question is, if I were to break the set up into individual coins, what could I reasonably expect them to be graded at? I realize there could be variables and I am not asking for a specific grade as I am not posting each individual coin. Just looking for some input like " You could expect to get a grade of PF66 - PF69" or something to that effect. If that makes sense haha. Being new to all this, personally I am thinking they should grade at a 67 or higher. But again, I am new, and do realize there could still be variables. TIA

Thanks for the link. Might come I handy with a couple other Morgans I have also!

Actually if you don't mind, when looking through some of them, the reverse looks to me like Emporer dragging captive as opposed to the description above. I just want to make sure I am looking at this right.

Thanks for the guidance. It's much appreciated.

@JKK yeah I wonder about the difficulty in ID'ing it and sorry for not thinking about the weight and diameter. Unfortunately I do not have a scale to weigh it, but holding it and a 1941 Mercury dime in hand, the Ancient coin feels a tad less..if that helps. The diameter is 17.35 mm ( to my unskilled best of measuring).

If this is the wrong section for this thread I apologize. I wasn't really sure if I should post here or the Ancient Coin section. I received this in a 2x2 and the only detail written on it is 'Ancient Rome". I have no clue where to begin even attempting to look this up as there are so many. I know there is a glare in the pictures but I had to use the flash to be able to get any kind of detail for you all. To me, this is in really rough shape and probably.bot even worth the 2x2 it came in. But then again being new what do I know? Hahaha. So what is the deal with this coin if anyone can tell? What coin is it? Is it worth anything? Worth holding on to? Thanks for the help once again.

Thanks for the reply. I understand and agree with all that was said. My thought process is just being able to possibly get more for the coin with it being graded as opposed to just saying the grade is whatever. I just wanted to see if there was something I was missing in my thoughts.

I doubt the opinions will change and that is perfectly fine, but thought I would give it ago and took some more pictures. Personally I think these are better. There is still a bit of a glare but not as much. I read a response on another thread that gave a link to grading Morgans. After reviewing that, personally I can see an AU or possibly MS61 grade. Would I be to far off on that? Also, it is currently slabbed in just a generic airtite. I know most of the people on here don't feel it's worth sending in unless the coin currently has that value. I am leaning towards possibly sending in that way it's already graded and ready whenever down the road if I decided to get rid of it. Is my thought process wrong about that?

I appreciate the input. I will work on taking better pics and figuring out a way to reduce glare/reflection.

Thanks. It is slabbed and that was part of another reason it kind of concerned me. It came from a lot sale and any other coin that came with it that is slabbed is graded, even if by a basement slabbed. But this one isn't. And given the apparent condition, just had me wondering. I do understand and agree on the reflection and apologize.

Looking through my coins I came across this Morgan. Being novice and quite skeptical it looks a little to clean to me. There are some abrasions on the cheek, and a few others around the coin, but nothing I would consider too major. And also like stated it's quite clean. I thought maybe it had polished or something but I don't see anything that would give that indication. I do not have a scale to weigh either. What are ya'lls thoughts? If it is real, what grade and value would you put on it? Sorry if my pics aren't very good. I used the Cozy Magnifier app and they were taken at 3x. They looked a lot better when I first took them. TIA

Thanks for your time and reply.

Ok, my question don't pertain to value or authenticity per say so I won't waste everyone's time posting pics for ya'll to scour over haha. I have 2, 2016 Kennedy half dollars that appear to have been gold plated. One is a P and the other D mint mark ( if that matters ). From what I can ascertain, much like the gold plated Silver Eagle I posted a few days ago, the gold plating does nothing for the coin in fact diminishes it. Would that be correct? At least with the Silver Eagle, it is silver and still worth melt. But what about these Kennnedy's since they are not silver? Would they even still be considered "legal tender"? I know that sounds stupid, but hey...never said I was smart :).

Sorry, yes. Was.worried it might have been added. All though I also wasn't sure why they would have faked it as from my research, there would be nothing unique. Thanks for the reply

Hi All, with the condition this coin is in and plenty were minted I realize it's probably not worth more than a dollar or 2. Looking at it though the MM looks odd to me. And being new to this it is probably just me, but wanted to check what others think. Is it legit? Also just your opinion, what grade would you give it? TIA

I received this set a couple years ago and am looking for more info as I pretty much have no clue lol. From what I can gather, this is simply 5 separate coins that someone had "made into a set", not an actual "set". It does have the NGC cert tag on it and it does come up with NGC. According to the NGC sticker, they are "BRILLIANT PROOF". There is a 1961 Franklin, a 1964 Kennedy, a 1969 S Kennedy, 2000 S Kennedy, and a 1976 S Kennedy Bicentennial. So, since these had previously been sent in and graded and slabbed would it be best to leave them as is or separate them? Since these were just made into a set what would be the approximate value as a set? Value individually? I realize nothing I have is probably going to make me rich, I am not that lucky lol. Just trying to understand some of this. Also, how is proof coin value determined? Is it solely the collectibility of the coin?
