As noted in the thread related to "Black Spots on Quarters" you can have a coin that is in circulation but can still grade as a mint state (MS) coin, as long as there isn't any wear on the coin (minor slide marks or cabinet friction for some older coins aside). For example, you could get rolls of coins from your local bank that come direct from mint bags which will invariably have some contact marks, which are not considered '"wear", but otherwise could still be in a "mint state" as long as the coins aren't roughly slid across a counter or otherwise handled causing wear. And for the 1972 Kennedy half dollar the "wear" you are referring to appears to just be contact or bag marks which are not considered wear in grading coins.

Yes, a coin actually in circulation can be graded mint state if there is no wear.

They should be different. You might be getting confused as mint state coins are graded 60 to 70 (e.g. MS-60 to MS-70), and there would not be an MS 50. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale/

This is a start, and then zero in from there using the ANA and PCG$ guidelines.

And the majority of what I'm missing for the complete Morgan circulation set I have been working on are earlier date CC's, and of course the 1893-S

@RWBI should have credited the source ... corrected.

I see that now, but still $1,443 reserve? Must be what they want plus the GC fees.

I dont even bother looking at the PCG$ values since they are still wacked out from earlier this year.

Still, $1,100 guide price and a $1,443 reserve. Story of my Morgan collection woes lately. Well, just have to wait it out some more.

Min bid set at $1,443 ... really?

Banging my head against the wall lately with the elusive half dozen or so Morgans needed to complete the circulation set. No premium for a VAM-4 so I don't get it.

The op is just blowing smoke until we see full pics and the label. Might just be another poser, but we will see.

Nice job JP. You have been posting quite a number of nice nickels, so it was only a matter of time!

This might help as a start ... https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/canada-cent-km-21-1912-1920-cuid-1034525-duid-1257506

@dnico1988xhas the coin in hand and can indicate if incuse or raised.

Ah, but there are 3 sides to a coin!

Did you do SG tests?

Like I said, I still think the tpg label needs to be posted with full pics of both sides, as well as what the strikethrough was. Otherwise its just the op blowing smoke.

I could see doing some of the add-ons with very valuable (over $10,000) coins.

I have been bidding a lot of coins at GC lately and haven't consciously paid attention to any of that.

@Just Bobthanks for that tip! I often struggle with finding the Overton number with a half that has a lot of varieties. If you wouldn't mind could you do a thread with a few more examples. I think that would be very helpful.

@B.C I agree with Sandon's comments, and I am left wondering why you don't just post the TPG label.
