    When it comes to grading... I prefer more strict than less strict!

    Daniel at CoinHelpU answered I question I sent in about why Morgan reverses always appear to be spared dings and other contact marks. If my memory is correct, he seemed to feel that the larger open fields on Morgan obverses made any dings much more apparent. There was probably more to his explanation than that, but it was over a year ago and my memory is not that of a young spring chicken these days! All that being said, his explanation doesn't fully satisfy me as to the actual full extent of reasons for the obverse/reverse disparity.
    * Regarding the CAC gradings, I (like many others) feel they are grading 1 to 2 grades lower than I am accustomed to. For instance, the 1884-CC graded as MS-64 looked like a 65 to me.
    * It is neat seeing all the CC VAMs. Much appreciated! BTW, somehow the 1883-CC you had graded for me by NGC didn't come back with a VAM designation. Clearly, there is something going on with the date that was not how a normal strike would look, but so be it! I was happy to get an "MS-64 PL" grade.

    Ben, the MS63+ you received on the first 80-CC was a gift from heaven. That coin is no better than an MS62 on its best days. Somebody at CACG screwed up on that one.

      grading is subjective. CACG has graders that are human. I know it will hurt a lot of feelings, but they are not perfect.

    Fascinating that CACG will grade a coin without examining the Third side.

    why do people get so excited about Morgans with a VAM? Morgans are so very common. Why not explore the numerous other interesting coins that exist?

      @LibertyNickelCollector 3 години тому +1

      Agree. Also most of them sat in bags at banks and are very common in high grades. But to each their own, that is the nice thing about the hobby

      Because there are hundreds of VAM’s if not thousands spread over all the Morgan Dollars. Try studying one VAM and then search for it. Not so easy. Of course you can purchase one already slabbed but there are so many Morgans in the raw that are there to be discovered. Try it you might like the sector

      Why do people collect coins? Because they like them. It’s the same reason they collect VAM’s, because they like them.

    Like the G.S.A. holders, but still believe C.C.s are overpriced for as many that were minted, and amount of them in uncirculated condition.

    Ben, Question about GSA Morgan Dollars? Might be a Stupid question! Since there is a difference between the GSA Morgan labeling, that is, one says "Silver Dollar" and the other says "Uncirculated Silver Dollar". So does that effect the grading by CACG? Can you request CACG to not cover up the "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" especially since GSA labeled the Morgan Dollar two different ways. My opinion, but without the PCGS, NGC, or CACG, the holders that say "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" seem to command a higher price than just the ones that simply say "Silver Dollar".

    • @TheWinstonDouble
      @TheWinstonDouble 4 години тому

      The only thing that effects the grade are the coins themselves and the people's judgement who grades them. The nicer CCs were put in the "Uncirculated" holders so naturally those are more desired. But once graded I can't see it mattering. At that point it's the TPG grade that's determining value.
      A fun fact is that one of the most beautiful toned, and extremely high grade CCs was put into a normal holder that only said "Silver Dollar."

      @williamgrimes668 I think there's a difference between what people want/prefer vs. what people are willing to pay extra for. Hypothetically, you put down two 1884 CCs graded by CAC, MS-64 in GSA slabs, and the strike, marks, lustre are all identical. It's an exact duplicate... the only difference being the "UNCIRCULATED" word on the GSA plastic. If you charged $20 more for that one and ran the test over and over, I bet the vast majority of people would take the "SILVER DOLLAR" labeled slab and save the 20 bucks.
      Run the same test but they're the same price, then yeah. I think the "uncirculated label" will sell more frequently.
      Idk, you can check the auction records to see what goes for what. I do think people will pay more for a GSA slab over a normal slab though. With those you have a 100% guarantee the coin is completely original, never dipped. That's a level of provenance worth the premium.
