There's no need to apologize, Adam. There was no offense taken.  |

Tough to make a call from these photos but I'd say at least 62 might push 63/64 because even with these poor  photos I'm not seeing any large dings or bag marks. At 78 bucks I'd say a good coin to add to any collection. |

I'm fine with the grade, Greasy Fingers, and I'm fine with the price. The 1881-S I posted earlier was $78 and I also bought an 1890 for $79. The condition of all three is the same. They're all from the same dealer.

Nice example, Keith.  I guess I didn't make myself clear. Those are NGCs photos of your coin |

No, it wasn't clear. Members have posted coins they bought and used the seller's ebay photos before so that's what I thought your post was. Regardless of that, the Morgan in the NGC photo is in noticeably worse condition than any of the three I have. |

as everyone stated the photos are really hard to see the surfaces. I'm going to assume that the coin is MS as NGC would not have placed that description on the slab. the cropped photos are better but I think the lighting your are using is washing out the surfaces. try to just use natural light, no overhead lighting or flash. it may help.
the 84(O) strikes can be soft in a lot of cases. I dont think its a 62. . I'm not seeing the issues that would be presented for a 62 grade at all. without better photos i'll go with MS63 or maybe 64. if you fix the lighting and repost i'll take a second look at her.

It looks mint state based on the NGC photos, and a very flat strike. But the surfaces aren't clear enough to assess grade otherwise. But I would agree that an adjectival grade of BU from NGC usually means MS-61 or 62, and possibly 63.

Thank you for your replies, panzaldi and Zurie.
I always natural lighting because I get too much glare if I use overhead lighting. My window faces east so I get more light before noon than later in the day.

Maybe I'm lost, Keith. Is that a screen shot of my coin or what?

I'm seeing a 63 based on Keith's enlarged photos. I'm assuming all the photos are of the same coin.
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."
