Morgan 1881-S MS69 Will Be Interesting To See At What Price This Ends Up

I think at MS-69 it's not quite as subjective. I'd imagine NGC had half their grading team going over this one at high magnification because you don't want to make a mistake on a coin of this magnitude.

EDIT: Just looked over it on the Heritage site at full zoom and there's a good sized gouge on the Eagle's breast. Did they miss that?

Very bag marked but I think MS-62 is fair due to the full luster.

Scratch probably looks much worse in photos than in hand. If it's not highly distracting in hand I'd say MS-63. The coin has booming luster which is a plus.

INS isn't horrible and the holders are interesting. I've got an MS-65 Morgan from them that I think was properly graded.

Assuming rim ding doesn't details it I'll say MS-64.

I think it's an MS-61 coin that has been dipped a few too many times which knocks it down to an AU-58 market grade.

AU details, some type of surface alteration. At least from these photos. Probably whizzed.

MS-62 but that reverse toning is going to bring a significant premium and possibly a star with the reverse features. Spectacular flash of rainbow there.

Thanks dryer coin makes sense I was scratching my head how a mint error, or anything, could shrink a coin while maintaining the appearance of a rim but that nails it. Thanks for the feedback.

Found this dime in a coinstar. Seems like it has a few errors. Thoughts on the error types and value?

Surfaces look off. Probably EF details which would net it down to about a VF price. So I think $44 is not unfair.

Scratching my head at that grade. It's obviously RD and at least MS-65. I'd say send it back with a complaint letter and ask them to regrade it.

MS-63 with a possible (*) for outstanding eye appeal.
