powermad5000 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I just stumbled across this post. I have about half the entire series and many VAM's, but here is one. rrantique and Henri Charriere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The ends of the only roll I bought. 19 of 20 straight graded. 4 at 64, 9 at 63, and 6 at 62. Turned out 4 were CC's. Even after grading fees I broke even on the roll thankfully. I doubt I would ever venture into another roll though. My gamble paid off this time, but I haven't had much luck overall with rolls.

Popular Post Sandon Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I just took from a safe deposit box some of my better date Morgan dollars that I bought uncertified years ago and am planning on submitting to NGC, mostly out of curiosity. This 1879-O is the most common but also the most attractive of these coins. I bought it at a local auction in 2011. It should receive a "PL" designation or conceivably a "DMPL" designation, though I doubt it. The coin has enough "chatter" that I doubt the numerical grade will exceed "63", but the reverse looks especially nice. Edit 12/12/23: I submitted ten of my better Morgan dollars to NGC, nine of which received grades equivalent or close to those I expected. However, this 1879-O was returned unencapsulated as having an "altered surface". I think that someone may have applied some substance or done something to smooth out bagmarks on Liberty's face and/or increase its contrast with the fields. I recall being somewhat concerned about the coin looking "too good to be true" when I bought it, which turned out to be the case.

Popular Post Sandon Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) This 1889-CC is the most worn and the most sought after of the coins I intend to submit. (In my opinion, no circulation strike issue of Morgan dollar can be correctly called "rare".) I expect this one to grade in the F 12-15 range, although the few rim bumps and a possible light "cleaning" could result in a "details" grade. I purchased this 1889-CC in 1994, when they cost a lot less than they do now, Edit 12/12/23: NGC graded this coin F 15, my higher estimated grade.

GoldFinger1969 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Sandon, if you are submitting the Carson City Morgan, given the submittance costs, what do you think is the floor for FMV ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retail list values for an 1889-CC in F 12 run from $975 (NGC) to $1,500 (PCGS), with Coin World at $1,000 and CPG at $1,380. I generally regard a $500 retail value as the minimum for a submission to be worthwhile. (This coin cost me $195 in 1994 dollars.) I also purchased this 1885-CC in 1994, a few months before the 1889-CC. Although the 1885-CC is the third lowest mintage Morgan dollar (228,000), more than half of that mintage is believed to still exist in uncirculated condition. This one is prooflike but heavily bagmarked. I approximately grade it MS 61 PL. Edit 12/12/23: My estimated grade of MS 61 PL was close. NGC graded this coin MS 60 PL. I can now assemble a certified grading set ranging from MS 60 to MS 67. This is also the first coin I've submitted to receive a "PL" designation.

Popular Post powermad5000 Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 I really thought this one might have gotten a 65 but it didn't. I still think it looks great though. I don't always take reverse pics but I felt this one to be one I wanted to look at both sides. CIII, rrantique and Henri Charriere 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
