I'll go with VF-35.
So, at the end of 48hrs the person with the closest guess gets the Morgan?

It's pretty much a straight-up no-problem VF-30, and a solid coin for the grade. The obverse is slightly weaker than a true VF-30, especially at the cotton blossoms and the hair at the forehead and over the ear. The curls, cap, and bear claws are spot on for VF-30. The reverse is very slightly sharper than a true VF-30, especially the detail on the wings. It looks like an old cleaning, but definitely market acceptable. On balance, it's a really nice VF-30.
I've seen similar coins of various dates undergraded by PCGS in older slabs, so I wouldn't be shocked by VF-25 on this coin. IMHO, that would be an undergrade.

I have it at VF20 obverse and VF30 reverse so let's split it and call it a nice problem free VF25!

This one received F15. I had it at VF20, possibly VF25. Apparently PCGS did not feel the same. Don't have the coin back from PCGS yet to post a slab pic but here's the sub.  |

Well that seems a bit harsh!

Looked F-15 to me when I first saw it. It is what it is.

I think it's graded a bit soft myself. Way too much wear to go above VF25 no way I see it at VF30 like others here do, but at least a solid VF20 or VF25 is closer to reality I think.
