SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 3:07 pm The first details to leave upon the beginnings of circulation would be the marks on the cheek. They're too raw, too fresh, for me to believe the coin has circulated. From these images - understanding a different set under different lighting might change things - I have it at MS61. An alternative line of thought is that some of these marks cannot have been acquired except in circulation. If this is the TPG opinion, I would go along with it, not having had the coin in hand.

With the PCGS glamour shots, any opinion changes? I'll reveal the grade when I see it myself! Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 11:24 am I'm holding at my original 55/58. Phil is good but he can't turn an AU coin into MS. (or can he?) Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 11:12 pm Another vote for AU-58. The fields seem to retain enough original luster for an MS grade but the cheek discoloration is evidence of light circulation. On the plus side, the strike seems well above average for an O-mint Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff
