MS-61. Ouch, this looks like it was purchased from Canyon City Coin. That is a seller to avoid, as they doctor photos and have their items bid up to the moon and back.

Hopefully you can take this as a learning experience and develop the ability to grade for yourself instead of relying on a dealer's representations. We are all doing that here and we welcome you to join us - it is an endless but satisfying process. Dealers put food on the table by getting the most value out of their inventory. It's always good to keep that in front of mind.
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 dont care for the breast on this one. it appears to be chewed up a little. the strike is a little weak for this year and the lighting is washing out the surfaces so assessing the surface preservation is out the door. my guess is that it may have been over dipped. the luster appears to be broken across the cheek and with the chatter in that area as well as the neck. I could go as high as MS63 but without better photos that would be stretch. Please, please take numismatic student advice and post any coins you are interested in here before laying out the $$ and stay away from this seller. they are misrepresenting the coins they are listing Quote:
I still think they are pretty good coins tho for what I paid :) for the coins I've seen so far you posted, this is not an accurate statement. its one thing to over pay for a coin because you like it, its another to buy it thinking its something that its not. |

Just asking, is this genuine? The nostril doesn't look right.

The OP stated the grade it came back as so TPG graded it authentic, I don't know much about the Morgan series and have yet to purchase my first one as I hear how addicting it can be, I believe the nostril was most likely polished down while trying to remove the die clash but I'm sure someone with much more experience with Morgan's could give a definitive answer. |
