BIG box of Uncirculated Morgans Dollars, Let's Take a Look at the Grades - NGC Open Box Economy 

The thing i love about Morgans, is there is always a Morgan in all price ranges that anyone can enjoy. The toned versions have so much character.

After bidding on several auctions, saying “they really go after toning,” is an understatement!

Thanks again dear coin geek host.Sincerely you are a great man full of happines to us in every coin search,grading and worth.People like you are unforgettable🥰👍❤❤❤❤

The 1885-O MS62 looks like it was a finger print from years ago, on the cheek. Looks better than a 62 IMHO.

Snail trails... oh, what a perfect description! I gotta remember that!

I agree, I don’t understand how NGC deemed the ‘98 cleaned. However, I do agree that it is not a PL coin. I think we differ on what we define as PL or DMPL...I believe you tend to be a tad liberal when you assign PL or DMPL to your coins. However, love your channel. Love ‘grading’ the coin myself before you reveal the ‘professional’ grade.

HI BEN. I THINK THE ONE 66 IS OVER GRADED. THE DEEP CONTACT MARK ON THE FACE MADE ME WANT TO LOWER THE GRADE. A FEW OF THOSE DID LOOK A POINT UNDER GRADED. *TYU*

Great looking morgans!

You asked for opinions, so here's my 3-cent piece. I'm just a hack... 1880-S MS62 PL - close call. Should be a 63 1881-P MS63 - good call 1881-P MS63 - good call 1880-S MS66 - A really nice coin with nice toning 1881-S MS65 - A really nice coin. Almost PL on reverse. 1900-O MS63 - A really nice coin. Crack out and regrade 1882-S MS63 - ho hum 1882-S MS65 - A really nice coin. Wow. 1882-S MS66 - A really nice coin. 1883-O MS64 - Nice toning on reverse. Crack out and regrade 1884-O MS64 - Nice gold tone on the reverse and a little bit on the obverse. 1885-O MS62 - Nice edge toning. Sad about that fingerprint on its face. Tough call. 1885-O xxxx - A really super nice coin. Cleaned, huh??? Crack this out and regrade 1885-O MS63 - Nice edge toning. Crack out and regrade 1885-O MS63 - Very nice fields. Nice reverse toning. Crack out and regrade 1886-P MS63 - Kind of dull obverse. Reverse tone kind of ho-hum. Good call 1898-P xxxx - Nice fields. Nice edge toning with PL. Cleaned??? Crack out and regrade 1890-O MS62 - Nice PL fields. Bad call. I'd crack out and regrade 1888-O MS63 - Clean fields. Nice gold reverse tone. I'd crack out and regrade 1887-P MS63 - Cobalt reverse tone. Ho Hum

Franklin HALF DOLLARS that are from G to AU-50 grades would be awesome - I think the market will explode on these at some point - def a sleeper!!!!

Yes for your PL, Seeing the fog in the fields makes me think that's original. Never heard of one side of the coin being cleaned till now. I don't think that grader was up to snuff.

Ah, nothing like a Friday Morgan matinee! Thanks Ben.

Ahhh this channel is like heaven 😂. I love Morgans 🔧

Nice coins Ben. I think that the details one's were wrongly graded. I also think that the O mint dollars were weakly struck and maybe they grade them lower.

Very Nice Geek- on the obverse cleaned grades, the cheeks did look washed out to me.

I really appreciate you geeking out on each of these coins since I have ones that look like these with the exception of the rainbow toned one.

I love these and enjoy guessing at what the grade will be... Thanks for sharing your scene.

I love undergraded Holdered coins! I'll pay ms64 price for it! The 85-o!

The reason for those marks on the cheek of that 1884O ms62 is from it being pushed up against the burlap sacks that they were kept in in counts of 1000 coins.

I agree, some are destined for the crack out pile

Beautiful Morgans. Got an 81 and 84 o from you. Thank you

Would like to see you save up all those 'missgrade' coins and send them all in again at once, just to see what is really missgraded.

Oh man you made my day with all those Morgan dollars! I love the 1883 O personally. I'd be as happy with the first 1882 S at MS65 as I would with the second at MS66. There's no question in my mind that the 1885 O is undergraded at MS 63. I think I'll have to rewatch this video too, though this one will be for the volume of Beautiful Morgans. Thank you for sharing those!

I like that ...grading is like the strike zone...good one!

Very insteresting results - love some of those toners!

Nice! For the most part, you've done very well.

I love your analogy using the strike zone. That really makes sense.

Really great video and nice coins for sure. Take a look at the "Obv Cleaned" coin again and really look at the cheek. The cheek has a series of several fine parallel hairlines when you get it at the right angle and lighting. Examine that cheek closely at many different angles and you will be able to see them. That is the only area I saw that looked cleaned. It almost looks like what some people might term as a "Slider" in the very beginning stages? If I am using the term correctly. I can see them at 16:27. Keep those great videos coming!

With the issues I've seen from graders and typos or placing the wrong coin in the wrong slab, who's to say they actually mean "Obv Cleaned" in that second one. Maybe they meant "Obv Scratched". Plus it wouldn't make sense for a dipped coin to get obverse only cleaned, both sides would have it.

That is incredible on some of those beautiful proof-like feels and they call them plain I've had the same problems with PCGS and NGC

Ngc must rarely give out the plus ++ grades Not one plus grade and I’m not sure I recall you ever getting a plus grade from them. For some reason that was my big take away from this video Thanks it was a great way to spend a half hour!

This is why the morgan dollar is my favorite coin it can have heavy,light,dark,vivid toning or just have a touch of toning or be blast white and look beautiful regardless if there lower to average grade they can still look very appealing to the eye they dont have to look flawless to be desirable

HI Ben, I am your follower and I'm a beginner to this hobby, I just want to ask how can I determine if the coin is cleaned? Thank you for all the videos that I follow everyday. Make more videos for us. Looking forward to your response. Thanks again.

World of morgans! Wow

Great video

Yah man,definetly think several of those were graded very conservativly,making me question whether I should use NGC,was toying with the idea of a large submission to them,but am seriously considering PCGS. Now!

Buy the coin, not the label. Words of wisdom, for sure.

I would be playing the crack out game on at least half of them. Grader must have been having a bad day, for sure.

Yay! More future crack out videos coming!

Must be a good time to sell my Morgans!!! Thanks👍👍

That first 1881 was generous with the 63. That scratch along the field and chinline could have gotten UNC Details.

the 65 looks better than the 66!woah

Definitely crack that one pl and the cleaned one that has die polish

Nice 👍👍👍👍

👍

Is it super common for coins to be struck twice? Like at 10:30 the clearly a second eye infront of her face about 10voclock about 1/8th inch NW. I know you have to tell them what what vams.. etc before grading or pay for them to search varietys. But im fairly new in coin collecting about 3 years and i see wheat pennys struck on indian heads. I have a 1962 d wheat that was struck on a 1776 pine tree. A 1902 o VAM 26A i know this is going to sound nuts, but you can see stars date and outline of 1795 flowing hair obv an rev. Im the type if hubter that looks for vdb along edge of every wheat penny have 🕵 its paying off. Kindof if your interested in seeing pictures let me know. I do have alot of coins took years to find these but would they just a regular really dark toned 1962 D wheat and 1902 o vam26a? Or does that add any value? Sorry for the book. 😆 love the chanel! Nice 1915 buffalo 😉✌

21:00 - “help me out “ ... you gotta grease the palms of John Albanese Mark Salzberg and Rick Montgomery .... I’m sure Matthew Bell and David Lawrence can give you a few pointers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But seriously have you ever put ultra violet light on the surface ? Certain Chemicals can be seen under UV light

Unboxing!!!!

Ben what do breaks in the luster do to a coins grade? Does it count like a mark or ding?

Who was the header did they have a bad day those are gorgeous

Howdy Ben, So I finally have a decently honest new LCS owner in my area - he needs an online presence - what would you recommend?

Wow that 1900 O is definitely a 64🤔 unless I'm not seeing something

You should crack out and resubmit that '85 "cleaned" coin.

I wonder if opc has a fugio cent? The one that says "mind your business" on it. Would love to see a video on that

i cry for you

Obverse cleaned 85 has porous/gritty looking fields. I assume that's what they were talking about.

Happy May Day everyone!

Do you think PCGS and NGC are condemned as much as they are praised?

That 82s was definitely a ms63 not a 64. The coin is great great eye appeal but it waaaaay to dinged

@TheCoinGeek would you be willing to do a interview or come on my channel live to talk about Morgans? It’s my favorite coin and I have a few followers that love them as well. Let me know thanks !

the 85 o looks like fingerprints

If grading is like the strike zone, then that one angry letter you got about "grade fishing" is merely pitch framing!

ST. Francis of Assisi does not see a c.c.

Not trying to be rude but you need to open your eyes all the way on the ones that are 62 and 63 that you think are undergraded I saw dinged rim's you forget they grade the whole coin not just the fields and cheek.

Ben cracks coins and i do care......

Here’s a story no one will care about. I lived in Philly for 65 years, collected coins for 50, and never visited the mint.

yea it was cleaned at the mint on the DIE! the 98 is prooflike NOT cleaned.grading coins is like a box of chocolates.never know what your gonna get!.

Almost had to stop the video. Cannot take the punishment of the grades.
