Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 06:12 am I think it shows up as a high AU. Nice lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 10:16 am I would guess AU-55 or 58 depending on how much luster is left. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 3:20 pm I see either wear or evidence of strike weakness over the eagle's breast and talons and the high points of Liberty's hair. The photos make the surfaces look very dull and lifeless which may indicate over-dipping. There are very few surface marks but without decent luster I'd "market grade" this common-date Morgan at about AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 09/18/2011 10:33 pm Yeah, I had assumed that the luster was somewhat 'soft' or dampened by the photos (which often happens) which is why I gave the MS grade. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/04/2011 08:22 am I simply do not think a coin can be that 'clean' and lustrous (I attribute the lack of luster to the photos) and have wear without some kind of circulation marks. I just don't see the chatter that is always there with AU-58 coins. If it has significant circulation marks, I would call it AU as well.

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 10/04/2011 08:36 am AU-55 There appears to be wear on the eagle's knuckles (which is one of my main guidelines for AU vs MS). Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 10/04/2011 10:12 am I tend to agree with Shadow and it is a weak strike. Again looks like pics are a scan which minimizes the luster. If the coin has luster in hand, low MS Report this Post to the Staff
