I was thinking 66 as well. Only area of concern is the line of unclear from the nose to the hair. Looks like there may be some scratches in that band.

Assuming the obverse is lustrous, I'd say 66 easily. a Beauty!

66
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I don't know squat about American coinage but that's one beautiful coin. You have certainly mastered photographing them. Very well done. Is it just me but the eagle looks like it has glasses on.  Cheers, Bill |

That is one clean Morgan - I can see it hitting a 66.

Agree I see a minimum 66 with nice color. Definitely send it in.

Very nice. Easy 65 but 66 would not surprise me.

Exactly this, except the number I have in mind if that line is good is 67. Certainly a 66 without difficulty, and one of the nicest Morgans to ever appear here raw. This one is money. |

This will be a good test. I have actually submitted this coin before to ANACS. It was blast white when submitted. When I got it back I cracked it out and it has since sat on a window ledge with tissue paper (roughly 18 months). During that time she picked up this gorgeous toning. The pictures are exactly how the coin appears in hand. On my initial submission ANACS said MS 60 details cleaned. Regardless I also believe this to be a money coin...maybe they stuck it in the wrong slab haha.

It all boils down to what the TPG's consider "market acceptable." Now that you mention it, I see some irregularity in the pattern on the (viewer's) right reverse near the wingtip which might raise a red flag, but OTOH you might be about to score big.  If you don't, it's still the finest cleaned Morgan I've seen. |

Its a win win coin for me. If they don't like it I'll crack it back out and be out $10. I'll throw it in my dansco and be done with it. If they like it she'll get sold for alot more money than I have in her :)

Obviously the toning must be helping to hide a really rough cheek area cause that's the only area I see that could of rendered it an MS-60 grade first time around regardless of the cleaning.

That's ANACS' way of saying "Uncirculated Details, Cleaned." Could have been an MS68 before the cleaning and that's still what they'd designate; it's not a numeric grade assigned as an actual evaluation of technical detail. |
