Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 12/25/2009 10:39 pm I like this recent purchase very much. It is a "raw" coin in that it isn't in a slab. However, it came with an ANACS photo certificate from 1985 that states a grade of MS-65, for both obverse and reverse. I see nothing about the coin that would make me think it deserves anything less than MS-65. It's a beauty! By the way, the certificate was issued to a Robert Dondlinger. Anyone happen to recognize that name? Report this Post to the Staff

b17commander Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 12/26/2009 12:07 pm Would this coin still be graded an MS65 with that dig just below her eye, and does that look like 2 horizontal lines on the eagles breast? Just curious, because I'm still relatively new to grading morgans. Report this Post to the Staff
clintonfitch Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 12/26/2009 1:02 pm Beautiful coin! I would say at least a MS65 as well. My only concern is what b17commander brought up - the gouge just below her eye. I think though the luster would compensate for that a little in the grading process.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 12/26/2009 2:00 pm Very nice coin! My first thought would have been MS-64 due to the gouge and a few abrasions. However, highly detailed photos make the abrasions look much larger and significant than they do in hand. I have no doubt that the coin would be solid for 65 in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
carlanddarla New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/07/2010 4:25 pm My guess due to the marks on both sides, would be MS 63-MS64 tops. I am not a long time collector like some on here, but when I started buying coins back in the early 80's, they graded coins a little different. Some I bought as 65, now would be graded 60 if I sent them in. But why not send it in and see what it comes back as. Report this Post to the Staff
