Like most, prefer the 98-o over the 1903. The 98-o is gorgeous and looks like a 67. Not sure about the 1903 but that might be the toning. Thanks Ben. Keep up the videos.

THANK YOU! Finally someone talks about Morgan PROOF! So difficult to have graded correctly!!!!! Like almost impossible if you’re not known in the business. The dead giveaway is that I think you called it acrylic?? I call it waxy over glaze.. not all have perfect rims but they will be square along with boxy denticles. Higher “hair bumps” than BS. Boxy raised lettering and numbers

Hey Ben, I actually have an 1898-O graded MS66 by PCGS and I just checked it and it has the same planchet infirmity as the coin in this video, your 1898-O PCGS MS66+. Maybe a VAM for the year? Just thought I’d share!

Gorgeous proofs Ben! Love both. I am in the market for a proof Seated Half. Still haven't one yet. I love my PR Morgan. Yes they are harsh on them. But rightfully so. Proofs display all of the details. Rubs of the coin really standout as hairlines with the super reflective fields. Anyhow, thanks for sharing!

I wish someone was tracking toning on coins based on storage conditions, eg 2x2, slab, other and including the general temperature range the coins might have been stored. Basically I’m interested in how much toning occurs and how long it takes for toning to occur. Nice coins you have and I love that blue toning. 👍🏽

@ericdawson8454 жыл бұрын
IMO, the 1898 O looks better than the 1903, even though a half point behind. The proof dollar gets a 62 in my book with a lot of hairlines and the contact marks in the field to the right of Liberty bust, even scratches such as like on her neck.

Sorry for the triplepost, but I think they made the proofs at multiple mints! My guess doing a super lowball is 10-20k, which is fair to do considering they've had over a century to be subjected to all sorts of sad fates. They gave these to governors and colleges, so I can imagine a governor not caring for coins doing something like tipping a waitress with it, and it eventually winds up flea marketed to some excited knowitnone old fart who promptly takes it home and wirebrushes it to death. Or there could be some across several campuses stored in boxes, forgotten and just ... waiting. At any rate, I wonder if 2023's proofs will try to be styled similarly, and if so, how much that will change the price of these old proofs. PLs and DPLs will always have their own market for the reasons you mentioned, as they are somehow far stronger than any proof even made more recently in 90% and each just has that unique character about them, but these proofs will soon have only history on their side instead of overall type rarity. My guess, though, is that the proofs next year (though no doubt sure to be nice) will not at all be like that - I didn't even see these reflecting you, so I don't know if they are more of a satin finish proof like you mentioned, or if these tone well, or even if you just didn't get a good angle, not wanting to accidentally self-dox! Anyhow, loved the video! Coins deserve to be showed off, so thanks for showing them to us.

I noticed that the 1903 MS 67 (seems to have a relatively weak strike...esp. noticeable on the week eagle's feathers)...yet it still got the extremely high grade. I read in books and have heard years ago, that if there's a weak strike, even if near perfect cheek/fields, etc, it can never get above a 65. Any comments are appreciated. Thank you.

On the 03 MS 67, the strike isn't that good. Look at the hair over the ear. Or is that worn dies? With the toning, it's hard to judge the luster.

I really wish there were a different term for wire rims on coins. It's the wrong word to describe a sharp rim. A wire rim means that the rim is shaped like a wire, which is a thin, round surface, not a sharp edge with sharp sides.
