Love your vids man. Im very new to all of this, and I am learning so much just watching your grading vids. There is a lot of benefit in seeing the final grades after a careful examination from our point if view of each coin. I can see some flaws in this whole grading system, but its still very helpful in my learning curve. Thanks for sharing

[@Dr.G]

Glad you're enjoying them Justin. I'm pretty new to all this as well. Lot's of fun learning though.

[@JC_WIL]

This is an awesome video it is as good as any PBS station programming of the Carson City Mint history it has a direction and subjects that flow from one item to the other awesome awesome video you have mentioned the strip scratches I was wondering about that myself on the Morgan Carson City dollars especially 1884

[@Dr.G]

Hey thanks buddy, I really appreciate it. I try hard to connect everything up without boring people too much.. LOL Glad you liked it.

[@upnorthcollector3267]

Very cool! Thank you!

[@BigLorry]

It's been a while but... wow! What a way to get yourself started on a Sunday morning! Bowl of porridge, strong mug of coffee and twenty minutes in the company of Dr G!!!! Stunning coins (jeez man, where do you find them?) and those old photos transported me right back to the 19th century. Absolutely brilliant video, doc. I had no idea what a work horse that old press had been - it certainly earned its pension!!! Thanks, big lad; great to see you back!

[@meteoman7958]

Hi Ian, Dr. G is one of the greats!

[@BigLorry]

You said it, MM!

[@Dr.G]

Oh, man. Now you guys are giving me a complex... LOL You're both too kind. I'm glad you enjoyed. I plan on making more videos like this. Kind of less quantity and more quality. Like you Ian, I love to be transported back in time, and these little coins do a pretty good job for me. Thanks again guys.

[@steven2212]

Absolutely amazing vid, learned so much. Thanks

[@afsof1015]

Hello Dr G ! Simply put, this video, to any coin collector, is gold ! But, my friend, as you probably remember I am a Morgan Silver Dollar collector. Your video is more than gold ! Since our last encounter, I have completed my Business Strike collection of 104 coins. I have only upgraded one of my Carson City Morgan Dollars. I think You remember to whom and where my original coin found a home. I continue to upgrade my collection, The two beautiful Morgan Dollars you have shown, are high on my upgrade list. Thank You ! for all your hard work, time and research in the making of this wonderful video. It is very much appreciated by me ! :-))

[@Dr.G]

I knew you would like this one. :) Congratulations on completing a great collection, definitely a rare accomplishment. But more importantly your reputation for being extremely generous is carved in stone as far as I'm concerned. I'll never forget watching that video when Ian realized exactly what you had given him. That was worth much more than the coin will ever be worth. Your legacy is safe with me. Thanks for the kind words. Be well my friend.

[@YT512llc]

Best coin video I've watched.

[@slicksilver9441]

I agree. Coin collecting is so rich with history and is why I like it

[@dalecain1158]

Dr. G your the best! I absolutely love the coins and the great history lessons you give out. To me your videos are second to none on KZbin. Keep them coming!

[@Dr.G]

Thanks a lot Dale. That means a lot. It's not easy to make these and your kind words are much appreciated.

[@jeffdurden398]

This is the best video you have done. I spent a couple years working in a shop that had a bunch of old flywheel presses that were originally designed for water power. I loved those old things. Those presses ran for well over 100 yrs until the Chinese started turning out finished products for less than our cost for raw stock. They all ended up getting scrapped.

[@Dr.G]

Hey thanks Jeff. I would have loved to see the old flywheel presses. The machines themselves are works of art. It's sad they are getting scrapped. 👍

Excellent video, thank you so much for this. 🤠👍

[@Dr.G]

I appreciate the comment. 👍👍

[@stefanschleps8758]

Thanks G. Great video, new sub. I appreciate the history. I recently sold back to the bank I bought it from, a Morgan dollar, that had to be a "test dollar". To insure the die was destroyed. If it hasn't been melted down then theres a chance that Morgan, with the big X cut across that ladys cheek, is still here in Europe somewhere. Same old story. Didn't know what I had when I had it. I thought" Who could do that to such a nuce coin?" I now know better. I think it was 1873 too. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dr.G]

Wow, interesting story. I wish you still had it. :)

[@victorlehtinen196]

Great videos ! Appreciate the time you take to make these videos !! Keep it up man✌💪

[@Dr.G]

Thanks Victor, not many people know how long it takes to put a short video like this together. I'm not a pro at this which makes it take even longer. LOL. Thanks so much for the comment my friend.

[@667hodge]

After a 4 month hiatus,you put up a TREMENDOUS video.👍I absolutely love the history and your coins are beautiful.Being an ex-machinist,I can tell you they dont make machines like that or ever will ever again.I've been to Vegas a few times and did the Hoover Dam tour.I have a pic of a Nevada,The Silver State highway sign that I love to look at

[@Dr.G]

Hey, thanks JRW3. I'm glad you can relate to the technical part of the video. I also do a lot of metal fabrication, so this is super cool to me as well. If you love mining and wide open spaces; You'll love Nevada. It has lots of both. :) Thanks again.

[@JohnEnserfud]

Thank you for the History lesson. Great Video.😀

[@Dr.G]

You’re welcome my friend. Thanks for the note. 👍

[@chaicharin]

Comps are $575 for your 1883-CC DMPL MS63 PCGS coin today. Back when you made this video it was a $250 coin. Morgans are on fire.

[@Dr.G]

Yeah not good for us collectors. Everything is more expensive to buy. Investors and dealers are happy. I don’t sell so hopefully it will cool down again. Thanks for the update. 👍

[@TiHerr74]

I don’t know where you went but we sure miss your videos, G. I’ve seen these “strip scratches” on dozens of Morgans as I have built my CC collection. They do not appear to affect the grade or the value. Thanks for solving the mystery and please drop some more videos soon!

[@Dr.G]

Hey thanks for the note Tim. I'm buried over here, but have lots to show and lots of ideas. Hopefully soon... Take care bud.

[@TiHerr74]

Thanks Dr. G. Can't wait!

[@MakeNumismaticsGreatAgain]

Wow, it's been a while since I've watched a video this long all the way though, but you have a true talent for captivating your audience with great history and content! Great coins, great history, doesn't get much better! Saving this video to my favorites. Thanks much!

[@Dr.G]

Hey buddy, yeah, I was pushing it with the length, but all my stuff ends up being so long I don't really worry about it. I just keep rolling LOL. I'm going to shorten up the next one a little. Maybe 15 min. Since it will be a continuation video anyway. There is so much stuff I would like to share with each coin, even with the length of time I spend already, there is so much info I'm leaving out. I have been blessed with a long attention span. But I know most people can't watch much more that 4 or 5 min. LOL Nice to hear from you my friend.

[@Joegarabet]

I watched at 1.5 speed. couldn't tell it was sped up. nice vid very interesting stuff.

[@silversurfer1986]

I must say EXCELLENT historical video. Especially enjoyed learning more about the CC mint presses. It’s on my list of places to visit. I concur with others below I thought that 94 Morgan would cut a 64. Either or still a great coin!

[@Dr.G]

I appreciate it my friend. The CC mint is really worth the trip. Very close to Virginia City as well.

[@johnmrebic]

This video is absolutely fantastic, the way you took us through the pictures and gave us a historical tour...your coins are amazing and your rounds are emotional! Makes me want to find some Nevada memorabilia and just send it your way as a thank you for putting out great content! Looking forward to the next one!

[@Dr.G]

You're very nice my friend. Thanks for the kind words.. :)

[@Dr.G]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words. :)

[@TheAvenstar]

I learned a lot today -- Thanks, Doc! Also, I'm so cynical of the graders that on your 94S Morgan I'd bet dollars to donuts they never even caught the parallel "scratch" marks -- they probably just saw it as bag marks. Even if they did catch the parallels .....................I'm still cynical.

[@Dr.G]

Hahahahahah. 👍👍

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

I just found your channel & subbed on the spot ! I watched & re-re-re watched this video and took LOTS of notes. I was lucky enough to find a good amount of cool coins metal detecting. I've found coins before some ok but nothing to get too excited about till now after finding a bunch of Morgan Silver Dollars and a few more since finding the first ones. Some are tarnished abit but most of the ones that were wrapped up & all & in a box are super shiney. Found them in an open field where a house from the 1800's used to be and a few other homes that was torn down in the 1930's.

[@conradpons9238]

I'm a retired carpenter I have always wanted to get any Carson City, DMPL, I actually lost a auction yesterday and I had a bid for 751 dollars. One day I will finally get one You have a beautiful one there Mr. G. 👍👍👍😃😎

[@Dr.G]

Thanks for all the comments Conrad. I hope you find a nice DMPL CC. You just have to be patient and hang in there. A nice one will pop up. 👍👍

[@jasond6770]

Amazing history, I felt like I was watching a documentary on TV. Great job on this, wow, you deserve millions of views.

[@Dr.G]

Haha, thanks a lot Jason, I appreciate it. 👍👍

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

I've sent some pics of just accupple of my Morgan's and two biggies in the coin biz said my coins need to be checked out to make sure they're real and all that good stuff & I was given some addresses which was so nice of them. They reminded me of you in this video shareing so much info.! They seemed to be interested in I think it was the 1879, Mint: CC (I didn't tell em I have at least 4 of those kind, mint:CC) the gentalmen said the coin looked perfect, almost too perfect but if it cos out it could be worth 5 figures, whatever that means. (I know that's up in the million dollar range but didn't say how many 'possible' # of millions (?!) ...Yeah right, like I dout I'd ever be 'that' lucky, but it would sure be nice. (Plus I have 3 more just like it) A wise old saying states to DON'T count your chickens before they're hatched. You talk about praying?! I would luv to get out of my crap apt. building and the nasty apt managers, always threatening & all. Guess she doesn't grasp the fact that I'm a Combat Army Vet that's about all out of taken their garbage threats. I have to save to get some coins checked out not easy when you live on a little fixed income and the trash keeps raising my rent even without any pay increases. If any or a # of coins ck out & can sell at auction or however best way to do it. I wouldn't go crazy with the $ cause you take care of the money & the money takes care of you! But I would luv to BUY the apt.building and I'd make sure I have decent managers ready to step in then I'd tell two lard butts to pack and ship out! (Making sure everything is all legally done right. They make up paperwork that's soposed to give you 3 days let's say to get something done but they wait to shove the paperwork under a tennents door, which means the tennents have had now proper notice...well, that's how they'd get "caned"😁 Tune in next wk to ,"Days of a tennent in crap Hud apartment system.....Will the coins check out?🤔 If they don't check out I was a Drill Sargeant for seven years, eigther chick managers yells at me for no reson again and I garentee they'll hear me.

In a book about James Crawford superintendent of the Carson City Mint it had a interesting item about the amount of cord wood needed for fuel to run the whole operation. Quite the undertaking to cut, split and ship to the mint. Great historical videos. Thanks, Doc.

[@Dr.G]

Thanks my friend. Yeah it’s amazing how the old timers produced so many fantastic things before electricity was discovered. Coal and wood were the main forms of energy. You really have to hand it to those guys. I wish I was back there to help them. Lol. Thanks for the great comment.

Thanks so much for the intuitive video, very interesting hearing about the Carson City Mint and the machines and techniques that where used back in the day. I’m from Dublin, Ireland and I have a great fascination with the old west and I’m hoping to start a Morgan Silver Dollar date collection of hopefully all mint state coins however I know I’m in for the long haul as it can be a challenging and expensive endeavor. Thanks again 🙏

[@Dr.G]

Wow, that would be awesome. Believe me you will love collecting those big silver coins. Learn as much of the history of the Morgan dollar as you can; you'll enjoy it even more. There are also lots of great books on Morgans. It's also fun to collect any ephemera, or old west stuff that would go along with these coins. You might want to think about opening an Instagram account to chronicle your progress. Have a great time my friend. 😊

[@Ryan-ob2dr]

I went from son of a coin dealer, to hobbyist, to collector, to working for a dealer, to running my own coin and collectibles business. When I can, I very much enjoy watching peoples videos, when they are done appropriately. I have to say, this is among the best video i've ever watched from a youtuber. Superbly done, incredible information, extremely articulate, and easy to understand. The videos of the working press and photos alone are scholarly. I sent it to my father and he said he watched it three times just to absorbed the information about the minting process he was not aware of (the stretching of the metal sheets). Keep up the videos!! This was simply excellent. THANK YOU for making this

[@Dr.G]

Ryan thank you so much for your kind and articulate comment. Coming from a seasoned coin collector/dealer it means a great deal to me. I'm relatively new to numismatics and I'm having a great time learning and collecting. It's a fantastic hobby. So glad you enjoyed. Thanks again.

[@allandinegar4893]

Great presentation as usual. The Morgan's you showed with the parallel lines are very interesting. I have a Morgan with these lines running through the breast feathers of the Eagle. I have wondered what the story is concerning them, and how they were formed. As you noted, being that the lines are parallel suggests they were not formed after leaving the Mint. I do believe PCGS doesn't hold those kinds of lines against the overall grade. The activity on the north of the reverse may have led to the MS-63 grade. Beautiful piece!

[@Dr.G]

Allan Dinegar Hey thanks bud. I would love to see your morgan’s. Make some vids man. :).

Thanks GG, it's good to finally get something out. I have lots of great ideas and no time to do them.. LOL Thanks for the comment buddy.

[@Godskingdomwithin]

The fine lines on the cheek of the 1894-S are polishing marks, I believe. It isn’t from a cleaning. It’s, actually, pretty common on Morgan’s. I’ve owned many high grade Morgan’s with those lines on their cheek. I can’t say for 100% sure that the lines are polishing marks, made during its creation, but I do know, for sure, that they are not from being cleaned. I have an 1889-S, and an 1897-S, and they are monsters! Beautiful I mean! It just occurred to me that the 2 that I recall with those lines, are both San Francisco Minted Morgan’s, and maybe it’s characteristics that are common on Morgan’s from that Mint. I have to look into what they are, exactly. Thanks, again, for your always interesting, and informative videos!

[@Dr.G]

Thanks for the info my friend. 👍

Great video mogans are my weakness , my acilies heel so to speak ,, coin collecting is a passion that either you have within you or you don't ....there's no middle ground on this , sorta like avacados either you like alot or you don't at all ! Rite?

[@Dr.G]

Hahaha, yeah. I also like avocados. LOL Thanks for the comment.

That doorstop made me really chuckle. I’m gonna have to get a 100 oz silver bar for a doorstop now.

Subscribed! Am somewhat of a numismatist myself! Love those CC's, I have a 1884 CC 64+ right now. :) Been watching lots of gold mining videos lately too!

[@Dr.G]

Very cool. Maybe I'll see you in Dawson one summer. :)

[@bw7516]

Would love it but doubt I could do that any time soon. In the meantime I have some old BU rolls to go through ;)

[@theblake5356]

Where’s the part 2 to this? In fact where are any new videos at all ?? You just disappeared.

[@Dr.G]

Chaos Blake, Chaos... Hahah. That describes my life at the present. :) Very busy over here and I plan on actually making a few more parts to this unboxing. Lots of coins here and lot's of information. I'm just about to make the next one. Since I'm not an expert, putting these together takes me extra long. Should be soon though. I wish I could just sit around all day and make KZbin videos, that would be awesome. Maybe someday. LOL Thanks for being patient buddy.
