Description

The listing, SGS GRADED MS66 1888-S MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR has ended.

This auction is for an SGS Graded at MS66, 1888-S Morgan Silver Dollar.

This coin is in beautiful shape and has a "Honey" colored toning on it.

The SGS grading service is "STAR GRADING SERVICE" and many have accused it of being a self-slabbing company that places all of its coins on Ebay. There was also the "STRATEGIC GRADING SERVICE" for a short while, but they had a completely different label. With all of the accusations being that all of their coins are graded at MS70 and not anywhere close to that being the case. I can see this coin easily being at an MS66 grade and it also shoots down the accusations of all being MS70.

I have many times sent a SGS slabbed coin to both PCGS and NGC with one that did come back with an MS70 grade and another with a grade just below what it was claimed to be by SGS. I am sure that NGC most likely gave an MS66 graded coin a MS65 grade just because they wanted to make the SGS label look bad.

Have a good look at the coin above for it is the actual coin that the winner will receive. If you know the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale, you can see that this coin could fall anywhere between MS64 and MS66.

Thank you for your interest in my auction and stopping by to view it.

Would it be fair to say it might be whizzed? Hard to totally tell from pics.

Nice coin tho either way

Whizzed? I have to admit that I have never heard of the term before and looked it up. for the others that have no idea as to what that is:

"Whizzed: The process of moving metal on the surface of a coin to cover or fill marks or scratches. Often used in an attempt to make the coin appear to be in a higher grade. An artificial process whereby the surface of a coin is buffed to give it the appearance of having natural cartwheel lustre"

I see nothing on this coin that would come close to anything altered in any way from its original minting. since I have never heard or seen it before, I have no idea what to look for actually, but I can say for sure that this coin has not been buffed, polished or cleaned in any way.

even after looking into this "whizzed" comment, I have looked at images of coins that are claimed to have been "whizzed" and now can state for sure that this coin does not display that.
this coin does have a "contact mark" on the cheek/jaw of Liberty which would be the only reason I can see that someone would attempt it and with the contact mark still there, that is the best evidence of the coin having nothing done to it, or altered in any way.
thank you for your comment, for I always love to learn something new.
