david29 Valued Member United States 432 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 6:05 pm I recently purchased this 1886-S Morgan as a XF. I think it may have a real shot at AU but I am not sure. It still has some nice hair detail above the ear and a little feather detail on the eagles breast. It also still has a nice subdued cartwheel luster on the obverse and reverse. The dollar does have a hit from another coin on the eagles breast and on the obverse, including above the ear. I think though for a tougher to find date this coin is decent and has a shot at AU. Thanks for any input. David Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 6:13 pm I think XF is the appropriate grade. It does not look like an honest AU and appears to have been dipped or lightly cleaned and is starting to re-tone. Value wise it would compare to this XF45 piece that sold for $90 on Heritage last fall. http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?hdnJu...2887&x=0&y=0 ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
