The 1880-S Morgan is a date with an exceptional number of very high grade coins (all the way to MS-69). Some of these may be nudged up because of strike quality. MS-66 and MS-67 slabs are seen quite a bit. I see MS-66 here.

I don't know grade but it is a beautiful coin. I always seem to be thinking that ones are higher than they are and high ones seem to have details that on other coins seem to pull it down. I see what appears to be "noise" (for lack of better description) on the obverse field in front of the nose. On other coins I have seen that seems to keep it about a 64 but I always think something like that on a coin this age is normal. Can someone let me know why that makes little difference on this coin? thanks

I applaud the grading efforts on this coin. There are so many nicks and scratches on the holder its hard to tell whats on the coin and whats not. The reverse is flawless, the obverse is nearly flawless, a couple small nicks and some frost disturbances are all that can be seen. Cheek has no disturbances  |

That grade is well deserved. Congrats on owning such a beauty.

Stellar coin. Glad I called this one. I couldn't see any markings on the coin, but plenty on the holder.

Now I guess I just have to learn how to see the coin not the scratches on the holder, but I also need to read closer as you did say that in the first post.....

Shadowtrooper78, Beautiful coin. Would you consider sending it in for a fresh scratch free re-holder? I most certainly would if that coin was mine.   |

@ GMS5 I have an automotive plastic scratch cleaner I use with some success. Its made by mothers. I use that plus a buffing wheel and it tends to remove most of the scratches on a slab. I haven't done this yet on this coin. I think these are light enough to buff out

Gorgeous '80-S! Can't you send that back to NGC and just get it re-holdered? Add $5 too for the "scratch resistant" option!
