shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 4:16 pm Well my dad surprised me with this one....Thought this strike was pretty darn good for a new orleans coin. My first non CC GSA morgan....what would you grade it?

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 4:55 pm Nice. If you can verify that the scrape on the cheek is less prominent than it seems (this is the kind of thing that gets over-enhanced by digital photography), I could go MS64 on it. These aren't awfully common in GSA holders, and carry a decent premium. Report this Post to the Staff

shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 5:23 pm @SsuperDdave The mark is a bit more prominent in the pictures...but I can't say it's not noticeable in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 5:49 pm MS64 then the scrape probably is more noticable in the photo due to lighting, it doesn't look like it is deep just a surface scuff.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 06/23/2013 10:48 pm I am going to go MS-63+ for now depending on how distracting the scrape is in person. If it's not too bad, it could grade MS-64. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
