I too Love the older books on Grading , This is very important as some folks will clean a coin and ruin it , Education is Life Saving .
Hi Ben thanks for this very helpful video,I I first learned to grade from my Brown and Dunn,4th edition a guide to the grading of United States coins in 1966 when I started collection coin .
Great job Ben. Love the walk thru.
One of the most informative videos I’ve seen in a while !!Good Job !!!
Really good show Ben. Thank You!
Keep em coming! Love the breakdown!!!
Ben: just calmly explaining the differences in grading coins. As he holds amazing key date Morgan dollars.
Me: 😳 Just drooling over key date Morgan dollars I need for my collection.
Great video and explanation Ben. 😁👍
Nice grading video. Great information as always! Thanks!!
Love these excellent, technical videos to learn more about grading. Thanks!
love that 93CC
Nice video lot of content in it thanks for sharing have a great day
I appreciate that breakdown. It's good to have instructional grading breakdowns for all types of US coinage. Thank you!
Hair of the eagle?!
It's Bald Eagle!
Still works for hangovers.
Awesome content
Thank you
Very Informative video. I have the 1895-0 and 1895-s morgan silver dollars both graded F-15 by PCGS but I believe they should be graded VF-20, I have been thinking about resubmitting them to PCGS. But I'm not sure it would be worth doing so.
Can you do one of these on standing liberty quarters?
Great idea .
@@TheCoinGeek yeah I watched this one on the treadmill. SLQs to me are very difficult to grade. I'm looking forward to it!
I hate it when they come back as 'cleaned. Prolly will be tuff to sell ?! Alott of mine came back as cleaned . So ,I feel your pain.
I nailed the grades on these coins. My problem has never been grading circulated Morgans, it has been picking out the cleaned circulated Morgans. I have got a whole lot of cleaned Morgans that my local coin dealer has sold me over the years. I think I’ve finally got it down, but I’m going blind so it doesn’t matter all that much. I love this vblog.
Hey Ben - great content as always
Slightly off topic to this video, just wanted to offer a comment on MS63 Morgan Dollars or any coin for that matter
Correct me if I’m wrong. But you reference a 63 as an average run of the mill mint state Morgan
I disagree
You’ve been around long enough to remember when the old ANA grading standards defined MS grades as MS60, 63 65 and to some extent 67
The verbal replacement of those numerical grades were
60- average circulated, bag marked. Maybe impaired luster etc
63- choice uncirculated. To me, choice is not “average”. It’s a cut above and well above run of the mill
65- gem uncirculated
67- superb gem
If 63 were not choice but were rather average and as 65 is a gem, there’s almost nothing in between plain Jane average Joe and gem
That’s a big spread don’t you think ?
In later years the ANA added 62 as “select uncirculated”, which didn’t really take off and then
64 became very choice
So I would say 60/61 are more “average” uncirculated since there’s really no “poor or bad uncirculated “ coins as by definition, they’re going to be problem coins if they can’t attain a 60 grade .
In fact we seldom see the 60 grade used anymore, except on pre 1880 classic gold, or older copper coins. We see many more 58 with a jump to 62 and if it doesn’t make 62 or slider, it’s deemed to have been cleaned , quest color or has some other issue
That’s just my observation and 2c
Thanks for the great platform you provide
Wow . . . . . . extremely well done. The nuances of the G-VF vertical scale are (at times) confusing . . .and you cleared up some specifics better than many ANA graders or presentations. Well done!!!!
Excellent video Ben! Calling out the specific landmarks that help differentiate between the grades could serve as a quick grading guide if you need to sort through raw coins rapidly.
I would love to see you do a video on strike quality where you could demonstrate differences in strike amongst same year/mint/grade MS coins.
Absolutely AWESOME share! Very well done and explained that anyone could understand...A TRIPLE plus to you sir!
Splitting hairs ... pun intended?
I had no problem at all eyeballing the VFs -- The G6 however, I would have given a VG8. This is a function of strike. If that "G6" were holdered while it was still an AU or MS I think it would have been one of those oddly struck coins where a lot of detail would be missing in spots and stronger in others. This is of course harder to notice the lower the grade.
HEY! 👍👍
Hi, Ben. Remember, grading is subjective. When selling your coins, they will always be over graded, and when receiving coins back from grading, they will always be under graded. That is subjectivity. Also, PCGS hates you.
