Will post the grade in 24hrs. Would you like to guess the grade of this common date morgan in the green PCGS rattler? Good luck amigos.   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."

Considering it's an early rattler probably a 64/65.... Today's standards easy 66

Sorry to ruin this, but if you want people to guess, you should crop your picture to hide the certification #. It says the grade.

I'd say 64 by today's standards but might be 63 since it's in an old case (i.e. pre grade inflation).

Probably MS-63 when it was first slabbed. Now an easy MS-64.

I believe the assigned grade is correct at today's standards (as far as I can tell from the images posted). Probably the reason it's still in a rattler.

Is the concensus that grading was stricter and has loosened recently? As a result it was overgraded when originally put in the old holder and has caught up?

Obverse pic really does not show the surface well at all, so I won't even take a stab.

I would think MS-64 from those pictures, with a change at MS-65.
