I want to thank you guys, and this forum. What I appreciate the most, is the conversation always stays civil. I always learn something.
I realize sometimes, I don't take the advice, Usually I'm wrong, but every now and then, I score.
I'm learning, and I appreciate your patience with me.
I have realized one thing since being here, and that is everyone has a point of view and that should be respected, by all and for the most part it is.
Thanks for all the input as always.

I was right on your last 2, so I'll give this one a go.
MS-65 not PL. Too much chatter in the fields and the hits on the face keep it from 66.
That being said...I'd probably pay close to $150 for this one due to its exceptional eye appeal. I'm a fan of it overall, even if I'm wrong.

Close enough for government work as we like to say in the industry.  |

I think that eternallogan's comments about chatter are right.
Pictures can be deceiving; I certainly would have been deceived in this case.
I went to Google Images and examined many images of other slabbed MS65 Morgans. There seemed to be much less chatter in those MS65's.

It has the eye appeal of a 66, but it technically appears to be a 65. Great MS-65 to buy!

Anyone want to change their vote with some in hand pictures? If this isn't PL, I don't know what is. I believe the boys in the grading room were hung over on a Monday, but that's just me lol.   |

How deep are the mirrors?
The PL designation requires that they be a minimum 2" deep.
That cannot be evaluated from an image.

Dumb question, but how do you measure that?

Ok, I googled it I can read 5 lines of newspaper at 3 1/2 to 4 inches on both sides.

Whatever the grade it's a sensational coin.

I hear that PCGS is really tough on PL and DMPL designations lately and can only guess that there is an area that they felt did not meet their current criteria.
It is a very solid example for the grade and worthy of the CAC green bean.

Ah, well maybe at some point she needs to find a new home in an NGC holder, but for now, the rent isn't high and there are beans in the house LOL

farrider11, I can see NGC calling that a MS66 still not convinced it's fully PL, but then again I haven't held it. Maybe the hold back on the PL designation was the amount of frosty cameo on Liberty's cheek?
