I do not collect Morgan dollars so forgive me if I am off base, but am I the only one who sees a rim ding at 12:00? Or is it just the photo lighting? I do collect Dollar size coins (Mexican and Spanish Colonial 8 reales) and rim dings always bring down the grade. "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

This is not an attractive coin...fingerprint...scratches and all. Reasonably graded.

Here are some better pictures of the coin out of holder without a light and magnifying glass on it. That would make any coin unattractive Thanks all  |

I agree with the grade. It's not a very attractive piece, and it has fingerprint marks. Although I have an NGC MS-65 1881-S Morgan will slight fingerprint marks! Maybe the graders made those fingerprints; they don't wear gloves you know. Neither do the encapsulators! |

IMHO, NGC gave it a technical MS-63 and drop-graded it a full point for eye appeal. |

Its just a trip because it has no contact marks on the cheek, I have seen 65 ans 66 when the cheek is so clean. I guess they didnt like the toning or strike at all. I'm going to crack out and send to PCGS and see what happens. I just have to know if they do the same |

I don't buy raw Morgans anymore as you never know what you're getting. They can advertise a "Brilliant Uncirculated Morgan silver dollar"  and when you get it it's as ugly as heck.  Now I do have some very nice raw Morgans, but I only buy NGC MS-63+ now. I don't like PCGS; their holders are ugly.  |

I'd say the reason is due to the scratches and what appears to be fingerprints on the cheek.

Loooks like the top rim is dinged also (?).

I agree it might be undergraded a point. If you are keeping it, no worries. If you are selling it, a buyer will know it's a 62+. IMO, NGC grades more technically, and PCGS is more of a market grader. |

looks like oil remnants from a fingerprint that has toned over. great coin nonetheless.
