Is GEC a legitimate rating service? I was at an auuction where I saw a
GEC
MS-67 1887 Morgan dollar. It looked pretty good but I don't think it was
as
clean as another MS-65 I saw.



Absolutely not. They are self slabbers.Which means they use thier own coins
and grade them whatever they want. 90% of thier Morgans are graded MS 67.
You'll be lucky if you get a cleaned Uncirculated coin.
