PGM GSA Soft Pack 1886 Morgan

[Junkdrawer]

Hi coin people, just wondering if I could get a guess grade on this coin I bought tonight at my local auction and do you think its worth me having it graded.

I'm not picking up on the luster so I'll say AU. If it is MS then it is definately worth submitting (MS64=$194 for non-GSA ). I HAVE seen MS coins before in these "circulated" packs.

I would expect to get 2 nice MS64 slabbed 1886 morgans for $194 myself, it's a common high grade morgan.

 

Your looks to be weakly struck but pretty clean fields. The pictures do nothing for the luster but I would guess a comfortable MS64 if it is clean as the pictures reflect. If it has nice luster I would say MS65.

 

Not sure what the premium for the GSA softpack would add but i would expect it to go around $150.

Definitely don't waste your money on certification fees. It's likely an average MS-63.

I have seen non-CC GSA Morgan Dollars sell for strong premiums because of the GSA holder alone. Do not remove the coin from its packaging. To be honest, I'm not sure that there are enough of these on the market to provide a reliable estimate of price, but I would estimate more than $150.

Are there any board member dealers that woul sub this for me. I know for comics there are some dealers that can save you 20% off the CGC bill. Does NGC work this way. incidentally I did see that they do slab these and leave them in the soft pack.

Great replies guys, all so informative

There was a 10% discount at one time for submitting through eBay (but I haven't looked at this is a LONG time). If you are a member of the ANA you can submit directly. This is especially useful if you are going to a show where NGC is offering their silver dollar same day grading for $25 per coin (5 coin minimum).

I was hoping to find someone perhaps local that would sub it for me or someone trustworthy here on the boards.

Pretty good call. Thats why you are the coinman I guess.

Yes I think your estimate is spot on in my book, but coinman said it would go over
