This coin is among a cache of Morgans I sent for auction this month. Although worn and nothing fancy, it's now the one I most regret selling. I'd call it back if I could. Just seems to be an ideal low-grade specimen. What say you?   |

quite a disparity between obv and rev. i'd call obv VG10 rev the wings are saying VG8 but the wear everywhere else says G4.
I'm going to net this one VG8 giving the nod to the obv

I think the reverse holds this back to a G-06.

Lack of reverse rims holds this to G-04.

I think you'll end up with a better example some day.
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."

So the "complete reverse rim" qualification that typically applies to G-06 coins does not extend to Morgans?

I agree, Good. The reverse is showing more circulation wear than the obverse. Hopefully you got a good price selling it.
Errers and Varietys.

I'm with Coinfrog. This was certainly market grading.
