Morgan Dollar Grade….Opinions….

Hi All

I am not in the market for the coin, but to my eye it doesn’t look MS67…

Is it just me?

No not just you

I've never heard of the Numismatic Collectors Company, perhaps one of our American friends know something about it. I have come across a couple of other obscure grading companies from the US and they all seem to overgrade compared to NGC and PCGS.

Yes, I would agree with you, it is nowhere near a MS67 assuming those photos aren't giving a misleading picture. There seems to be a lot of wear on the eagle body and some horrible scratches on Liberty's cheek.

I consider any other company besides NGC and PCGS to be a "basement coin slabber".  As both of already realized is that you buy the coin not the holder.

Here is a PCGS MS-65 one that is for sale by Heritage Auctions as a comparison - https://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1896-1-ms65-pcgs-pcgs-population-5736-2088-ngc-census-6347-929-cdn-140-whsle-bid-for-ngc-pcgs-ms65-mintage-9-/a/132124-25563.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

Thanks gents.  I had not heard of the grading company, and the coin really doesn’t match the grade in my eye!

Thanks
