1889 Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS64 Near Gem Very Clean Surfaces X Accugrade 64

This 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar has just returned back from PCGS as part of a 4 coin crossover submission. Previously this was in an old Accugrade MS64 holder.

All 4 coins were in old Accugrade holders. All 4 crossed at grade as predicted they would - see the last 2 pictures for the backup evidence. That's actually 11 for the last 11 coins I have submitted for crossover to have crossed at grade or even 1 grade higher. Considering the success rate of crossover submissions to cross at grade or better currently sits at 35%, I would say that is a pretty good streak we are on.

As much as I love the old Accugrade holders, their premiums have plummeted and people are no longer buying the coin; they are buying the plastic, the holder, the sticker.. So be it, we must evolve to survive, hence these have been sent to PCGS, but I do not and refuse to get a CAC membership, so they have not been sent to New Jersey. I will leave that to a future owner.

This coin is very close to gem level. Very clean surfaces with very few contact marks and strong, fee flowing cartwheel luster. Perhaps just a tad softly struck would be what is holding this back from a full gem level grade.

The coin in the photos is the coin you will ALWAYS receive. At SAM's, we do NOT use stock photos.
