Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 895 Posts	Posted Today 14H 53M ago Trying to improve my grading abilities for Morgan's. I see a low MS example disregarding the deficiency. The obverse fields look to have light somewhat directional scratches which involves perhaps polishing. The heavy cheek scratch knocks it down as well. The reverse breast feathers seem AU territory. Despite all of this the luster appears unaffected on both sides. Nice hourglass all around. I think a 55 tops. Help me out on my analysis. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77872 Posts	Posted Today 13H 4M ago An AU coin in my opinion. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 194075 Posts	Posted Today 12H 51M ago The photos do not show the rubs that knock it down to AU. Not that they are not there, I just do not see them in the images on my screen. That being said, there are enough marks to put this at the lowest MS grade.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77872 Posts	Posted Today 12H 0M ago Jbuck, this coin is circulated. You can see the rub and circulation wear on the cheek, face, and nose. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 194075 Posts	Posted Today 11H 24M ago Perhaps. Maybe it is the glare or maybe all the hits bother me more. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5256 Posts	Posted Today 53M ago Yeah, the face looks lifeless and flat while the hair still has some luster? Very odd. I agree with panzaldi that there might have been some cleaning going on. IF straight graded, I say AU-55. Otherwise AU-Details.
