Want to hit a homer, go play for the Yankees

Yup, got it again, the sumpthin' for nuttin' disease. Or we could call it, the "if its too good to be true, it probably is."

I've been hit worse, but this comes awful close. I bought 14 Morgans back in May. Well, just got the results back from grading expedition to Sarasota.

7 of them were adulterated (<--sp?) or details. Seems people still like to clean their coins [when will the word get out NOT to clean them AT ALL? Leave that to the graders and pros) I did get a few MS's, even a '64.. Thank goodness, using the NGC guide, and present price of silver, if I put on my pawn shop hat, I might just break even. I suppose I will keep the 7 baddies for a rise in silver price, and begin to offer the good ones to my friends who like Morgans. I am going to be putting all mine on the block, as I am treading in a PF70 and or MS 70 direction with mostly ASE's or AGE's. Like Pt too, and even Pd but probably not enough gas here to trade up to gold or one of the P's. (Plat or Pall)

Now the crux of this journal, is buying. I was offered all of these Morgans and they were ALL in bogus slabs with medium to high grades. I knew there was dice rolling, and I figure as I may just break even, it is not the worst deal. But following up on an earlier post, [not long ago] Please be very careful whom and where you buy from. I don't know how nor why there are so many criminals out there, but it is well to be advised they will rip your pockets off for the lint if they think there is a profit in it.

I NEVER lie, cheat, or steal, unless it benifits me.

So Happy Hoarding, and please watch your buying habits.
