cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1970 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 1:01 pm Good day. This Morgan is part of an estate I'm liquidating on behalf of a relative. Somewhere in its lifespan, a cleaning of some sort was attempted. Coin has very little wear and I like the details and color. Requesting opinions and evaluation so I can decide whether or not to keep or cull it. Would conservation or other methods mitigate the prior cleaning ? Thanks in advance for your help.

ericgreen Pillar of the Community United States 1515 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 2:35 pm Agree with AU - Details. There is no undoing or hiding that harsh cleaning. It is just worth bullion, unless there is sentimental value tied to it. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/04/2023 01:28 am If you only have only one or two other Morgans, then a keeper. and if from a relative, a keepsake as well. If you have lots of other Morgans, then it's a cull. This coin was cleaned a long time ago, and is now in the process of re patination. Expense of conservation not justified. I agree AU details scratched, cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 5:24 pm Au details 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."
