In reply to Craig. Will do, and thanks. As a fun little exercise, the two raw coins (circled in red), will get the new holder treatment. Common coins, but they were standout gems I found in my mother's Monster Box full of M&P rolls, bars & rounds. The M&P rolls have been in her possession for a good 45 years. If a raw $35 classic Ag coin can be converted to a $1-200 certified classic coin, why not? If my newbie grading eye fails me, it was still a fun little exercise!

In reply to Rick. Rick, I love collecting CC Morgans in the GSA case. Let us know what grade those coins come back in. Cheers and good luck.

In reply to Rick.

Today I received a confirmation that the submission was received at CAC. It’s sometimes nerve-racking when sending coins to a known Coin company/TPG because the company is written right on the label. As a quick aside – PCGS has changed that. Instead of PCGS being on the shipping label, you now ship your coins to Poly C Gilmore – no joke (did I just let the cat out? lol)…
Anyway, I’m glad that I waited to send coins to CAC. Why? A brand new std label just came out, no more light green label, just a nice, neutral light gray gradation, with the familiar ‘green bean’ moved lower, to the right, and looking as good as ever….

Welp, I finally got around to joining CACG to have some coins graded, crossed, etc. Now I’m in with the Big 3 TPG’s…
I also finally got around to sending in some ungraded CC-GSA Morgans to be graded. 3 are at PCGS for GSA Crackouts(2 damaged GSA case, 1 for a reverse face-up/front view), and 5 are at CACG for strap grading(a sticker with the grade on it).
Here’s a pic I took last winter when I had 5 on hand. Since then I’ve added 3 more for a total of 8 GSA’s. They aren’t necessarily special or rare, but ‘looked’ to be decent enough to send in for ‘hopeful’ MS64/65 potential grades(most MS64 imo). Two are better dates, an 1880, & 1881-CC’s, so we’ll see!?

In reply to Antonio. Yesterday I posted this mid-grade Morgan on another site, and it got some praise for its color. One guy said... "The elevation chromatics on that coin are beyond epic." Never heard that one before, but I suppose that it was a form of respect for the coin? I'm a Toner Stoner haha.....

In reply to Rich. The Morgan demands respect.

In reply to Antonio. Antonio, the USPS delivered my Peace dollar on Saturday and my Morgan dollar was delivered yesterday, on a Sunday of all things.

In reply to CaliSkier. I only this morning received a notification. I'm waiting for my Morgan uncirculated silver dollar to arrive. I was thinking about ordering a Roosevelt Presidential Silver Medal but I don't know.

The flood gates are open! Sales have now subsided significantly again and are approaching a trickle once again. Fascinating that 264 went poof, inventory was reloaded and the flood gates were wide open for 1/2 an hour, before returning to status quo?
PS 11:41 pace of sales increasing again. It’s like waves of consumers are being notified or something?

So where did the remaining inventory go? We went from a slow trickle, to zero. At 7:49am ET there were 311 available. After an hour at 8:49 they had sold 17 and we were at 294. At 10:00 another 30 coins gone and down to 264. So yes pace had increased and 30 coins sold in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Then we burn through 264 coins in less than 40 minutes? Over the past 5 days of tracking, sales had never even been close to this pace? I only saw coins break 100 per hour a few times. Now we see 264 go poof in 40 minutes? Odd to say the least?

Whoa! Now I refresh at 10:45-10:50 and we are at 2,799!

Only other anomaly I saw occurred on July 9. On that day I recorded sales at 3,925 at 8:41am and at 1:18pm the numbers available had jumped to 4,536.

So at 11:04am today we now stand at 2,488. A very brisk pace even though the HHL is still 1. Something fishy is happening? Now at 11:07 we are at 2,417.

Someone has access and it is not those with a HHL of 1?

PS 423 coins in roughly 18-20 minutes, when pace had been 20-50 coins per hour max??? Weird… Just saying… 11:13am 2,376
