from us! I'll estimate at AU-58 at the low end, and MS-64 at the highest.

The images are too small to see the detail, also need some more light on the coin.

I agree. The images are too small and unevenly lit to be used for accurate grading.

Folks here will be happy to provide accurate/reliable grade estimates if given a better set of images.

Looks mint state, but there might be some light hairlines in the fields that could be a problem. Better pics would help.

Thank you all for your replies. I will try to upload larger files but I'm limited to 300k files.

Thats better - thanks.

What do you see in hand in the obverse field behind Columbus hair at about 10:00 position? My eye sees a raised dot based on your photo. If that is what it is, it would be a strong indicator of questionable authenticity.

Or is that a die-dot put there by mint workers? I'm thinking of all the known Morgan dollars with dot varieties minted up to 1893 here...
