    If you are looking at eBay to buy an ungraded Morgan, suggest posting photos and a link to    
    the posting here and some of are experts may be able to help with the authenticity.

    Greenstang got a reaction from RWB in Wheatie find !   
    Nice find but certainly not worth the cost of grading. Even in MS66 R condition they are worth about  $12-13.00
    and yours is not near that. Put in a 2x2 and keep as a nice example

    What makes you think they are rare?
    The US quarter you can find in pocket change, the Arabian coins are common.

    Greenstang got a reaction from rrantique in I am seeing more and more Ebay listings like this one - sellers trying to scam some unknowing buyer   
    One of the problems is that many sellers are uninformed in the world of Numistatics and see    
    something online and believe they have that rare coin. That is why there are dozens of listings
    like this on eBay everyday from first time sellers. Although you  will find some informed scammers.  
    trying to take advantage of the uniformed buyers. I have seen several cases on the various coin    
    forums where someone has bought a damaged coin and thought they had bought a rare error.
    eBay policy states that you can ask up to $2500.00 for an uncertified coin as long as it is not misrepresented.

    Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in DDO on 2021-P Dime?   
    Good advice from VKurt, it you can't see it at 5X, it is irellevent anyway as it would not be recognized by a TPG.

    If it was a Deep Cameo, it would have been marked on the slab.    
    You do not pay extra for a Cameo grade, it is part of the grading.

    The only way to tell is if it is in the original packaging. Once it has been removed, it becomes a normal 2000 cent

    Just damage. There is nothing during the striking of the coin that would cause that    
    Also in the future, please put the date of the coin in yout heading so they won't look the samme.

    Welcome to the Chat Board.
    That is not a Doubled Die, looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling, another of the worthless doubling.  
    It also looks like that may be a small Die Crack but not enough to add any value.  
    In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small details.

    I’m a Rising Star but don’t know how they came to that conclusion. Maybe they just drew names out of a hat.

    Welcome to the Chat Board
    First, that is a Large Date 1982. Also those marks are not doubling, they look like they have taken a hit displacing the metal which would make it damage.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Henri Charriere in For the Love of Low Balls..... ?   
    I will accept your humble apology then Henri but no need to see your way out, I still enjoy your posts.
    This coin has been certified by ICCS, Canada’s leading grader. You are right in the fact that the date should be showing but only if you cannot tell the date of the coin by some other marker. The 1967 series of coins were a one off style. The dollar had the flying goose on the reverse and you can vaguely see the outline of the back of the goose on the reverse. The other certified PO1 that I mentioned is also the same, no date but you can make out the goose.
    The 1936 lowball that I posted is the same situation, no date but you can tell it is a 1936 by the crown, in 1935 the crown did not go to the rim.
