jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 03/06/2006 6:17 pm Here is a 1896 Morgan, nothing special. There are quite a few marks on the cheek of this one Opinions on grades? Thanks, Jordan ALso, this coin has very nice luster! Edited by jdheyne 03/06/2006 6:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 03/06/2006 9:52 pm I would say MS62, but could go to a 63 if the luster is nice enough to cover a lot of those marks. Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 03/07/2006 6:19 pm I'd say MS60,maybe 62.It doesn't have that much luster. B12 Edited by B12 03/07/2006 6:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 03/07/2006 11:14 pm It actually appears to have quite a bit of luster... Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 03/08/2006 5:35 pm Sorry.It's just that from the pic it doesn't seem that way but you are the one who has seen it in person and I need to remember photos take off luster.If you say what's true,it has more luster than the pic.It could go MS62.

jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 03/08/2006 10:35 pm No need to apologize. I definately understand about the pics and luster... Is there really any good way to capture that? Report this Post to the Staff

Is there really any good way to capture that? JD, I'm going through the same quandary. After too many years, I've decided a digital camera is the only way to go to capture the luster of Mint State coins. I have a great scanner, but it just doesn't do justice to good coins. My first impression of this Morgan is MS-62 or MS-63 based on what might be bag marks on Liberty's face and neck (which may be a function of the scanner), but I tend to over-grade slightly from images, so I'll play it safe and say MS-61 or MS-62.
