Me neither, unless you count being born O/S, and a trip to Antarctica. I figure there's more than enough Oz for a lifetime or two, so who has time?

Welcome home Duggee, did you manage to find any good coin shops over there?

Glad to see you made it home safe and sound. (Saw the train crash etc in the papers).

:agreed: Hope you made some great 'memories'.!

thanks for asking and yes got back safely
had a wander around the diamond district where some shops were but of no help given and only small amount on display :dodgy:
but on another day came across stack bowers. greg was helpful and had long chat including pcgs vs ngc as mentioned on other thread.
had no aussie coins on hand but they do have some in upcoming auction.
sought info on u.s. coins and took a shine to the morgan dollars especially the blue toned ones -(can be a thread in itself)
so my souvenir is a common cheap coin but i like it

all you graders hava a go
:biggrin:

Very nice Duggee, I've always liked them. I had a 1888 (from memory) when I was about 10 ..... not sure if I still have it.

Grading, despite being hopeless at it, I'll go MS62 .....

looks lovely to me Duggee
I am no silvers expert but it looks choice to me
nothing wrong with common years
it's the collecting that keeps our material history alive

Looks like NGC don't consider fingerprints a deterrent to the grade :angel:

I didn't think either of them factored in fingerprints? :dodgy:

duggee27 · December 15, 2013, 05:28:41 PM

Morgan's are great coins in any grade :good:
To visit the US and NOT get one of these would be unforgivable :angel:

No they don't, which I find a bit strange because fingerprint stains are one of my pet hates on a coin.
I consider them environmental damage as the acid in the sweat has etched into the coin.
