I'd return it. The surfaces look quite beat up. The ebay photo you provided is highly manipulated. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

MS-63. The ebay photos were altered to enhance the tone colors. |

It looks MS and likely 63 as noted above. Eye appeal is neutral to negative from my screen. My value estimate is about $300 at retail. I'd feel like a got a great deal for $200. At $400? Not a good purchase.

gschmidtjd, if you can still return it I would. You'll be able to find a better one at a cheaper price.

Agree with everyone else. Also, avoid Morgandealer. Their photos are not accurate and most coins cleaned.

I always like to eyeball any coin in hand first, before I decide to buy.

The coin looks MS but the two scratches in the neck are likely to detail it. If a return option is available, returning it would be advisable.
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."

Cleaned coins, deceptive pictures, sketchy return policy. And make sure that they refund you in full. Because they are considered a "Top Seller", ebay allows them to issue a partial refund for whatever bogus reason they make up (the coin was scratched/dinged/opened). Make sure you get your original shipping back too. F those guys. |

Morgandealer Looks like most of his Morgans are polished. Even the coins with great looking detail seem to be polished.  |

I'm betting cleaned and AT on this one. see my post on you 89(O)
you are not experienced enough to be laying out those kind of $$ without having a solid background to assess these. never, ever rely on their descriptions. notice how dull the surfaces are on the reverse where you can see the entire coin. for an MS coin it should not be flat and dull like that. the original surfaces have been removed. the scratches on the obv would details the coin also
the photos are so bad that its tough to determine if there is any circulation wear on it. they look enhanced
maybe UNC details. send it back if you can

For less than $100 more, you can buy a MS slabbed/toned CC.... my LCS has a couple.

I would absolutely return this one. I am not convinced it is truly unc. As other have said, be aware of some ebay sellers. Do you homework first. |
