Sunday Coin Post #1

[leeg]

Since this is a coin forum, let's post some coins. This is #1 of what I hope will be a weekly sharing of nice coins. May be ugly coins if that's what you want to show.

 

This coin is from Mark Feld. Hi Mark. It's in an old NGC holder graded AU53.

 

Super example with PF fields, nice color, and some crust to boot.

 

On it's way to CAC for verification. Not that I doubt NGC or Mark, just a comfort thing.

Nice coin.

 

Yesterday I bought an 1853 25c Rays and Arrows. AU55

No dealer makes me feel better about buying a coin then Mark. Sorry Mark, but it''s true

His viewing policy is first class, and his advice: honest.

Well, as long as you all are sucking up to Mark with this thread

 

Here is one of the least expensive coins he has ever sold and I was lucky enough to get it.

I would guess MS66, maybe MS66+. I think there are a few ticks too many for MS67.

 

Edit to add: are those die cracks or contact marks around Miss Liberty's cap and around the star below the "m" in "UNUM"?

1887 is usually sharp and bold. This coin has an outstanding Obverse strike, clear fields. Nice Reverse with very minor field ticks. Devices very well defined. I like this Morgan The rim toning adds to the overall appeal..

 

MS66 and MS67 would not be a surprise.

Hi Lance, I would grade your gorgeous coin at MS65.

The new photos are helpful. I'll say MS65 given the new photos.

[JJSingleton]

It's a beautiful Morgan. I would have no problem with it in a 66 holder. There are some visible ticks in the large images and what could be a hit on the end of the nose, but they are large images. The overall eye appeal carries the grade for me.

I'm with Silverhawk. 66 easy with a good shot at 67.

I will go 67 on this one and I do believe it is a VAM 12A would probably be top pop for that VAM and its a Top 100

gorgeous

Thanks for the guesses, guys. They're actually inline with mine.

 

Sadly it graded MS64. Kinda stunned.
