To All found out Hertiage has a 5K min to submit . But also they have you to take your coins to a coin shop to get evaluted for Price . LOL . Total Pain when it comes to VAMS . So I guess I wont be sending anything to Heritage to thin out the Duplicates . LOL Maybe down the road when I have some tha...

Morganman Is the SLV/ETF exchange traded fund a Non Physical Silver type of thing ? If so dont you think that there is to much paper vs actual silver in these funds ? If that is the case could you lose on that any way , if there was a run on silver ? Just asking since this is a important question th...

Hi All Twohawks Explained the differences to me of the 14.2 and 14.2A , "VAM 14.2 die pair with no gouges or displaced field breaks is a VAM 14.2 VAM 14.2a is the same die pair as above but with feeder finger gouges though the "OF" on the reverse die. Early die states of this type are known and come...

Hi All
I have a question this is a 1878 14.2 MS63PL , but is it a 14.2EDS or 14.2A .
Im just a little confused if the 14.2a has the field Die Cracks or not on the Obverse .
Please advise on this .

Keilg1 Well thats a tuff descison to make , To break out or not . If you send it to PCGS for a crossover in the slab and mark the Min grade MS63 PL and If it doesnt make it they wont break it out . Just a thought ! So you would protect your holder if they deem its a lower grade then 63 . I just see ...

I would say the grade is a MS62 PL due to the fact its 1878cc VAM 18 ( My Guess).
And Thats High on the TPG grading scale for a VAM18 . Just a guess . But still
a Nice looking coin . Doesnt look like any Problems with the coin .

MessyDesk Many thanks for that INFO , That what I was thinking on the Standards Shifting over the years . I was just trying to figure out Why , But as said " Buy the Coin and Not the Holder " But as we know photos can be deceiving . So it is also wise to consider the age of the holder and what time ...

Hi All I was wondering did PCGS/NGC get alot of PL designations wrong on Morgans ? AKA designation of a PL when in fact its a SEMI PL ? Or is it possible in some way for a PL to lose its PL over time in a Holder ? Or was there a Time Frame at PCGS/NGC that PL standards where when not quite up to par...
