 What are we supposed to be looking at? Not a doubled die IMO if that's the question.

Not sure but I think it is still in it's case and the plastic is all scratched as for what to do with it it is your choice. blinewalker....Welcome to the forum

That is a really nice coin love it when the edge is toned not to many marks on it at all. I am a nice guy, I think it could be a 66.  

I found a 1973 in the Yard sale batch that may be struck through grease . I found the same error on line for the really cheep price of $8000 if you want this penny which is in much better shape Than the one on line . I will trade it for a few 2021 Morgan's LoL

Sure somebody’s grandpa would have “wisdom “ about if it’s worth having it’s value is that much more the harder it is to get but I don’t think grandpa ever envisioned this 🤓

I am a grandpa 10 times and 4 great grandkids and I did not plan on spending more than $99.99 a coin there is my wisdom. 

I'm glad I am not the only one who likes to hold a coin in his fingers. My wife is always saying we should buy some of those coins in the square cases. I tell her if we find one that is a good deal I will get her some. But it is a rarity to get a deal on a slab coin in the wild. Therefore I like the hunt it is more fun. Come down to the Cape and I will take you to my old antique dealers. They would love to get coins like yours LoL .. Most want to spend low and sell high. But a couple of my better shops have great people, old dealers that have retired and bring in tasty treats once in a while.

So in reality the coins are only on paper. Not in coin bags ready to be shipped out. Well then it sounds like a possibility for the bad guy to make a lot of money. They always do 

It is a bit off the wall. I would think the US mint would want a Morgan in every home and a Peace Dollar in the garage. But it looks like there is something more at play here. Like a comeback from the US Mint .

News flash due to popular demand we will be making more coins but at a little higher price than before 

Let me just recharge my torch and we can ,Party on Dudes

I remember as a kid I got a 1964 mint set in a holder like this only to find out later it was a made up set not really from the mint. It looked real. It had 1964 coins in it

Go on www.usmint.gov and check the release dates for yourself. 

I did get a E-mail from them to pre-order I am sure they will get there's first being such a big dealer.  My local dealer said you can preorder but if it comes out that date it will be magical LoL

I got a laugh this morning.  In 25 minutes the US Mint Morgan Privy Dollars were........."Currently Unavailable".

Ya  I am still waiting for the new Eagle and that may not have a date yet I was told at a top dealer  Saturday

Really?  Never ran across any except in a couple pawn shops and they were no longer worth of the name Morgan.  I guess I'm just too picky.

I love it when the coin shops have the goody grab bin. That 21-D was in a pile of 30 0r 40 Morgan's and he had another pile of Peace Dollars . I should have looked a little bit harder at it you can only see the scratches when it is on a 45% angel and with USB and good light.. my bad. the dealer is a cool guy if I bring it back he will treat me right. No mater what it is silver.

JP et al, my latest arrivals. The 1972 proof set, a nice 1932 quarter and a 1957 Ben please let me know your thoughts. TIA

The mint set looks fresh no fogging that's a BIG plus. I love the 34 toned George that is a sweet piece. But my 57 brother Ben looks like he has had a bath or 2 ??

The 58 and 72 would make nice album coins. The 58 looks like it could have some real potential but it's hard to say for sure from the pics. 

The 58is the nicest one Mike. They are all clean but dings + some rust spots messed with a few.  Most of them are shiny coppers being in holders for so long. I have some with FS but they are not perfect some scratches or bag marks. One 68-D ghost and one 66 toner.  But still a yard sale fun find. I will through up some of the shots for you all to see.

Yes, the 22-S looks cleaned.

I will post some more when I break them out of the holders

I am having fun with this old set. Most of the pennies are real nice and FS others ended up with some spots on them inside the holders. I found a 68 D that is what I think they call ghosting where you can see the impression of Lincoln's head on the reverse. That's kinda cool

Thank you all for your candid comments it is a big help. Getting better at grading is important in this hobby. I heard through the grape vine that RWB is the Peace Dollar Guru. I was given this 1922-S and I want to get a opinion. Any of you all please say what you think. Woods and I both think it has been cleaned but not ground down like that last Morgan . Can I squeak a VF40 or is it scrap silver all day long. Any comments please.  

Thanks for the info RWB and for taking a look both you and Woods.  The top coin is  good enough at AU for $31 .But I had a bad feeling about the other one and when I turned on the USB  it was like Oh my gosh  When silver goes up I will get my money back on that one LoL

Now this is the other Girl. 1921 D I grabbed this hoping it was not a wiz job It has a mirror background. Now on getting it home and looking at it better with the USB it is scratched and all the scratches are very light and all going the same way like a buffing tool would clean it I would think. Or is just normal where and tear because of the mirrored background ?? I would like to give it a MS but let me know if you think it is tooled. 

Hi Guys . So we went shopping and I hand picked some of the better looking Morgan's from the (Goody Grab Bin) for $31 a pc .Ya cant go to wrong. I got a 1921 S that is kind of a smoke yellow tint maybe from hanging around in Vinny's card room it looks like it has some bumps and scratches but mostly real nice. I wanted to grade it higher the reverse is really nice  but I give it a MS62 because of the light scar on her forehead and a light mark at 3 o'clock . Here are some shots of the 21S with the phone and the USB Microscope which I think shows way more than a loupe can.  Please tell me your thoughts if you think I am getting better at this you all know better than me.

They were probably heavily circulated coins and the plating replaced what was lost during circulation or the planchet was at the low end or slightly under weight or the plating used and thickness is not enough to put the weight out of tolerance. Probably a combination of all three. 

Possibly, no way of really telling unless someone can identify the set.

The 58 and 72 would make nice album coins. The 58 looks like it could have some real potential but it's hard to say for sure from the pics.

Oh and while I was there we found a 1921 S and a 1921 D proof looking for cheap money

We went shopping today. LoL Trying to finish off the set of regular strikes ASE's we are missing the 2007 and the 2018. But my wife saw this 2007 Proof in a case so we got it. It is the last year of the U without a tail so I guess it is all right .
