eagleknight New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 6:57 pm I am starting to get into coin collecting. Been doing lots of reading and research. I bought this Morgan on Ebay(one of my first purchases). From some research I found that NGP isn't a reputable grader and knew that with the auction, but the pictures of the coin looked good. Well it arrived today and I am a bit concerned and might return it. What concerned me the most was the back rim reeding. There is a spot by one of the stars between the word dollar and American. The last picture was one included in the auction. I don;t see a spot in that one. Do others agree? Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/12/2010 7:16 pm Welcome to the community and to coin collecting. Sorry to say that this coin is not MS-65. There are several areas that show signs of wear and cleaning. I think at best this coin is AU-58 for detail. Because of the cleaning it would be more likely to be AU-55. Hope you didn't pay too much for it, and that you can return it. Report this Post to the Staff
