Morgan Dollar with rim hit, will it grade?

[moosesr]

Has anyone had NGC grade a Morgan dollar with a rim hit like this or is it too large/noticable?

Thanks,

Charlie

The images make the coin appear to be polished, in which case a rim nick is the least of your worries.

What happened to that picture

Almost looks like the background measels are on the coin ... argghh

Hello all, First time poster, long time (well you know how that goes)

I'd have to say it would probably get body-bagged. The damage to the rim along with the "dirt" in between the IGWT (in God we trust) indicates that this coin has been cleaned at one time or another. I personally wouldn't send it in. If it had no rim damage or wasn't cleaned , I still don't know that it would be worth getting graded as it does show some wear in the prime areas. You could probably obtain an 1891 Morgan already graded by NGC at a decent price anyway.

If you plan on sending this in as part of the 5 free submisions , then what the heck , don't let me discourage you. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum!Yes, I was so focused on what looks like polishing, that I neglected to mention that aside from any rim problem or polishing, the coin appears to be circulated. Thus it isn't worth submitting for grading, anyway. And my feeling is that even if you do have "free grading submissions" they shouldn't be wasted, but should be saved for coins that merit grading.

The coin is a Top 100 VAM is why I wanted to get it certified. I may have to send the coin to ANACS with the problems it has, but I thought I would check to see if anyone thought the rim hit was minor enough to allow the coin to be certified. Those pictures are the seller's pictures, here are some scans I just made.

I don't think the coin is worth slabbing VAM or no VAM.
