1897 Morgan Dollar

[Kamillion]

I've had this coin for over 10 years.

I'm thinkin about MS62

sweet. I was like 15 years old when I grabbed this. One of the only smart things I did when I was a kid. It was still in its case that said $8 which I'm guessing is what I paid for it back then.

 

Didnt realize it was MS

 

edit: I was just looking at the coin and noticed the rim on the reverse seems wider on the bottom left of the coin compared to the top right. Or maybe Im just seeing things..

The pics are a little hard to go by. Can't really tell if there's any luster there. Hard to tell if it's been cleaned either. My guess is just a rough one by what I have to go by.

The nasty gouge along the jaw will probably relegate it to a details grade.

AU58, I don't like the rim bump at 9 o'clock and the cheack has a nasty scratch and some sort of dents. Fields are rough too.

Au - as Chris said - details holder becuase of the gash on the cheek.

[Kamillion]

So should I get this coin graded? I have never done this before. But I got a feeling this is the only one that might be worth doing. Has a "chance" of getting MS maybe. Even AU I would be happy. This is my only pre-silver boom Morgan coin so its ok.

Just as an example:

 

NGC price-1897 MS63- 74.00

 

AU 50 through 58 are going for less than an ounce of silver. 35- 38 bucks.

It is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, in no way, shape or form worth submitting for grading.

[Kamillion]

i wish i could take more pics like this coin. Its the only one that came out fairly decent enough to analyze. I am using no flash when I took the pics.

You could send it in to SGS and get a MS70!!! Guaranteed!
