Popular Post J P M Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 Well I was unable to find anything that was cheap while I was on vacation and when I got back home my go to Nickel place did not have any of my kind of deals. However they did have a real sweet MS 63 that was in my( Cheap Old Man ) price range which is very hard to find with all these crazy high Morgan prices lately. So here is a nice looking straight grade MS 63 No + or CAC just a good looking coin.

Alex in PA. Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Looks good to me. All the San Fran Mint's coins were nice. I believe nicer than the CC, O and P Mints. Edited April 28, 2022 by Alex in PA. Spelling (as usual) J P M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Very striking example great find these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Holmes Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 1879 -1881 produced in San Francisco have strong strikes and sharpness. Although common, these are usually beautiful coins with original mint luster and mint frost. Eye appeal is very pleasant. I particularly like the sharpness of the inscriptions and denticles. Very nice coin. Now your spoiled, every other year and mint you look at will always be compared to your San Francisco. There is a huge difference in strike between yours and any from the New Orleans mint. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Walter, I have a lot of Morgan's in higher grades than this coin that do not have a DML field like this one has the cartwheel affect is quite nice on this piece. The photo does not do it justice. Walter Holmes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shrugged. Lol jimbo27 and CoinJockey73 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very nice I’m a tough negotiator, I just didn’t have a “+”” in my collection yet. I like my 63 just as much if not more. It has a lot of character.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
