Hello, new to the form. Wish I had found it sooner. I just bought this on the internet based off of the CCGS grade. But after reading this form I don't have fuzzy feelings about them. So could you help me grade this? Thanks.

Based on your pictures, I would grade your coin MS-63.

63 tops too many marks on the face to be a 64.

You guys are awesome. Have learned a lot from this form. Main one is to be very careful on internet coins.

Nice uncirculated Morgan. I'd buy it for the cool die breaks alone. Looks like a VAM 37.

Solid MS-63. Very nice luster -- bit of chatter on cheek keeps her out of 64

The die cracks are the best thing about this coin, and I digg it for those. With the chatter on the obverse, I'd be hesitant to value it over a 62.

63 is where I be.. The die cracks make for a very interesting coin.

63, too many contact marks on the face to go any higher.

I think its on the lower end of MS63. Closer to 62. Reverse looking pretty good
