I cant believe this happened.

I can't believe this happened.

I just got a call to look at a coin collection. And there was probably $10 face value in silver. I forked out $150 for the 1904S Morgan. I think it's in pretty good condition. Here are the pictures :

There was probably six Washington quarters. And I didn't really check the dates I just saw Washington quarters and I paid nine dollars per one dollar. I get home and look at the dates of them and about fell over! A really nice 1932D quarter! Woohoo!!!!!
A little blurry in the picture but I think you get the idea! I have a special place for this coin!

Beachkid23,

I lost a fairly lengthy reply but I will try this again. Congrats on a super great score! It is hard to tell from the pics of the 1904-s Morgan Dollar due to the mottled toning and what appears to be somewhat shadowed lighting when taking the pics but the coin appears that it may be Mint State. I am almost certain of this due to the coin still having most or all of it's original Mint Luster underneath the bad toning. If I am correct, then it is a very valuable coin! The 1932-D Washington Quarter also appears to have some of it's original Mint Luster and may grade as high as AU-50 or AU-55 which makes it also a super nice score and fairly valuable. If you can take some better closeups of both coins with less shadowing with as much of the background cropped out as possible, I believe we might be able to assign grade to them.

I had to go old skool and use my camera instead of my phone. Hope these pics are a little better! If not I may need to take them in the natural light instead.

No doubt, those are some nice coins! Great scores!If Frank is right about those grades, the quarter is worth around $400(AU) and the Morgan is worth around $500(AU) to $2,300(MS-60)!

It appears that both coins will likely grade in the AU range! It is a toss-up as to what grade a Grader would place on them as they both have some wear. The 1904-S Morgan Dollar has wear on Miss Liberty's hair above and below the ear and also on the Eagle's breast which is enough to bring it down into the AU range. The 1932-D Washington Quarter has wear on Washington's hair above the ear and slightly on the Eagle's breast which should pull it down into the AU range but since it has a weak strike, a Grader may take this into account as many of the 1932-D Washington Quarters are known for weak strikes which is really evident on "IN GOD WE TRUST" and just may give it a bump (one grade) upwards. The mottled toning on the 1904-S Morgan Dollar is the biggest detractor since the original Mint Luster is very evident underneath! There are ways to remove the mottled toning that if done correctly and a coin is a nice Mint State coin (mostly MS-62 and above but sometimes can be done on a really nice MS-60 coin), it would never be known that the mottled toning was removed and I don't mean the Dip solution that has been used for ages by Coin Dealers which can often be detected and can be harmful to Silver coins. Note: Bad toning should never be removed from coins that have wear as this is easiest indicator that they were cleaned.

That's insane! I can't believe that Quarter was in there still. When I saw it I screamed like a little girl so loud that I instantly gave myself a migraine headache and had to go lay down and take a nap! Talk about getting old! 35 in three months...

I'm thinking about sending the Morgan in to get graded. I have another 32D and surprisingly it's way nicer than this one. But I paid for that back when I collected coins so I definitely did not pay $2.00 for it. It was actually if I remember, I paid about $500 for it.

I've been working on putting the Morgan dollar set together. It is definitely a slow long drawn out process however I think I've gotten some decent coins, so continuing it might be worthwhile.

I think those are the nicer three. And I don't have time right now to take pictures of the rest of them but trying to go for less uncirculated type. If I send that then I will update on the grade. I just have to call the company I've never even attempted to mail one in.

Nice Morgan Dollars BK! The 1878 even has the appearance of a DMPL (i.e. mirrored fields with frosted images) underneath the toning. Do you know which Reverse this coin has and how many tail feathers are on the Eagle? I ask because if it is a DMPL and a certain Variety, it could be a fairly valuable coin!

I was told at one point it has a reverse of a 79. I have no idea what that means. So here it is.

Can you take a better pic of the Reverse and upload it here? The brightness and glare skews being able to tell which Reverse it is and how many tail feathers! You need only concentrate on the Arrows in the Eagle's talons and it's tail feathers.

Yes, when I get home in a while I will add closer. Thanks for all your help!

Don't forget that many many 1932 philly quarters had a "D" added later in life.

Either way, great score.

I was thinking the same thing. The "D" looks a little funny to me but I'm probably wrong. I usually am. Just ask my wife.

I LOVE that 95-S! Extremely rare and valuable! In that condition it's worth close to $1,000!

coinsareawesome · Jul 1, 2015

I really didn't see that before... It looks like the 32-D has some black areas around it, sometimes a telltale sign that the D had been transferred from a not-so-rare coin.
