1893-S Morgan!!!!

baddbluff · Jul 5, 2013

Okay, I didn't find it at a bank, but...

I DID buy it with 100% CRH proceeds!

What a hobby we have! I'm so glad I was able to get back into this hobby when I did. If it weren't for the great finds I was blessed to recover over the last several months (and a healthy silver spot price), I probably never would have been able to add this awesome coin to my collection. Goes to show what you can achieve with a little hard work.

Good luck with your hunts, everyone! I hope you all get some great scores!

Nice baddbluff. Thanks for sharing...

Nice original surfaces and even wear. Adding these coins to one's collection with the proceeds of hard work (and a little luck) makes them even more special and adds to their provenance. I added an Isabella quarter and a Gettysburg half last year from CRH'ing profits. I'm working on an Antietam. I might be pulling the trigger on it in the next few days.

I also have some CRH proceeds I would like to use to expand my graded collection. Where do you guys go for graded coins?

I good way to save on graded coins is to buy on ebay (or a dealer, etc that has no buyer fees) and you can sell slabs on Teletrade - they don't charge any fees to sellers.

Those are cool commems. I love the Gettysburg half. We went there year before last - very cool place. I don't have any commems, but have thought of putting together a set. Do you have a PCGS registry set or just collect casually?

I will be hitting the Long Beach show in Sept - am stoked! I hope to find some good stuff there.

PCGS population of 324 coins grading vf with 2062 coins grading higher, I would say one hell of a rarity with only 100,000 minted. Nice coin with honest wear, original surfaces and clean of major hits. Just out of curiosity as i'm not doubting you but there is a very unique die marker on all genuine 1893-s does yours have it?

Not a PCGS registry set, but hardly a casual collector. My Isabella is ms-65 by PCGS. The Gettysburg is ms-65 by PCGS. The Antietam that I'm going to pick-up is ms-66 by PCGS. I've been slowly adding to my commemorative set, and the next target is a Spanish Trail. I also have numerous other classical commems that are raw.
