Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/22/2007 5:47 pm I'll say about a MS-65. The 80-S is one of the most fully struck Morgans in the whole series and one would be hard pressed to find one lower than a MS-63 because there were so many of them made and they are so fully struck to begin with Report this Post to the Staff
Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/22/2007 5:53 pm Judging from the picture and from a novice I'd say this is a PL for prooflike strike. Grade- MS 64/65 PL. Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff
hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 01/22/2007 5:55 pm From what I can see from the pics, I'll go with ms64 PL. I think a little too much chatter in the left obverse field for the 65, I would like to see another shot of that. Sweet coin! Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/22/2007 7:22 pm That's a nice coin. How far was the camera from it? If it's less than 6", I don't think the coin would grade PL, given how fuzzy the image of the camera is. Don't quote me, though. As far as grade, although I could see it in a 65 slab, if you graded it today it's probably come back 64. That one hit below and behind the eye looks big. If it isn't that big, 65 it is. The reverse is huge. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 01/22/2007 7:31 pm I think its MS64PL possibly MS65. The small marks on a frosted Miss Liberty always look worse than they do on a non-frosted coin. I likes it. Report this Post to the Staff
