2021 Morgans Starting to Ship
Mr.Bill347 replied to gmarguli's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Isnāt it something! I should be getting my $85 coin soon (hopefully) and right behind it, the Peace dollar. I hate the way the USMint has gone to pre-ordering. It just creates unrealistic product demand. I just happened to notice that you are from Lock Haven. I may be one of the few that actually knows Lockhaven! I used to work for a company out of Raleigh that administered the computer system at Lock Haven hospital. Been there more than a few times. The admistrator was quite an ogre back then. Another friend I have locally grew up in Lock Haven. what was the long standing wool factory there I used to visit. Wool rich If I recall. -
James, I have determined that you have to completely log off from the main screen using āsign outā then log back in, then your free to chat. Some new protocol I guess. Seems to work fine for me. Jim, I am unable to return it since I bought it from a neighborhood antique shop. Itās not that big of deal and frankly, not all that bad. Compare the new one on the left and the NGC MS63 on the right.

AU details / Cleaned question
Mr.Bill347 replied to LDH Coins & Memorabilia's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Welcome to the forum ldhall. Thatās a tough lesson. One that I have learned quite a few times, even yesterday when I bought what I thought was an MS coin, and after posting here, my friends pointed out that it was a low AU, which I overpaid for. I even have bought a Morgan which I sent in for grading two years ago and it came back NOT Genuine, a counterfeit!. So I feel your pain. Buying coins from a common source or entity carry these risks. You can prevent these costly mistakes by purchasing from a reputable, ANA dealer, or already graded coins. The fact that they were cleaned, at least they were graded at AU, which is a plus. Because at the very least, you know they are genuine coins. As I stated yesterday, we learn from our mistakes. Sometimes it is very tough to determine, but I can tell you that you can trust the guys on this forum and impossible check with a quick posting to see what they say. To further demonstrate my point are the two 1921 Morgan coins . One an NGC graded MS63, the other I bought yesterday and the professionals here felt that it wasnāt up to MS standards. Iām ok with it, because it wasnāt a large sum over what I should have paid for it and I am not sending it to be graded. Bottom line use this resource. thank you. -
Thanks everyone, if that AU is $58 then I didnāt do so bad, worth ten bucks to me to have it. besides . I had the 1921 Morgan ms63, the 1922 Peace , the 2021 Morgan CC ( if I ever get the darned thing), the 2021 Peace dollar, the 2021 Ty 1 and Type 2 ASE, the 2021 Brittania, and the 1921 Florin , so that my anniversary set.

Is this Lincoln broadstruck or PMD?
Mr.Bill347 replied to Mr.Bill347's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Thanks guys, Iām going with pmd, but canāt figure out why the three strikes are full height while the rest is flattened out, but as Mohawk said, we have all flattened coins on the railroad tracks, and weird things happen. -
Well I think youāve mentioned that on a number of occasions, havenāt you. But realistically they are selling at a premium because of the anniversary. I had the 1921 Morgan ms63, the 1922 Peace , the 2021 Morgan CC ( if I ever get the darned thing), the 2021 Peace dollar, the 2021 Ty 1 and Type 2 ASE, the 2021 Brittania, and the 1921 Florin , so that my anniversary set.

Mr.Bill347 replied to Mr.Bill347's topic in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
But that wouldnāt explain the three distinct strikes on the reverse bottom.also the whatever it is on the smooth obverse is raised above the surface so much you can feel it. -
Found this is the loose coin bin at the antique store. I can see three distinct strikes, monticello, and some kind of mintmark on the obverse by mostly smooth.
