Tried to take some pictures to show surfaces as best I could. Extremely reflective and I need to get my setup squared away!

Tried to show one of the better ones but I came across a hoard of 81s. Expected to see a bunch of 61/62s but they are at least 63s with a few rolls of 65+ and at least a roll of 66+. I could send 2-3 in to be graded over the rest of my life, but I just can't imagine bulk grading will get them the respect they deserve.

Atleast a roll of 66+? I'd love to see these

Yes a high MS grade for sure. On the reverse down by the DO, it looks like a clash of some sort.

A hoard of higher-end Morgans...nice I could go with MS63-64 with this one--given the posted pics.

I believe the Obverse picture does not show the real damage to its cheek. I'll give this one an MS-64.

the glare from lighting is obscuring the surfaces. if you want an accurate assessment do not use any overhead lighting or any direct light that creates glare. there may be marks on the chin based on these photos and it appears that there is a quite a bit of chatter in the obv fields

at best MS63

the 81's are known for sharp/bold strikes and there are a lot of them so a TPG is going to be more strict on their grading of them. take one you think is 66+ and create a new thread so we can see one just watch the glare as seeing the surfaces accurately at that grade is crticical.

Might be MS-64 or higher, but sharper photos with better lighting will be needed to see the surfaces better.
