This coin will have no problem getting a MS-64 and a good chance at being a MS-65. I will go with MS-64+ for now. Very nice coin!

My guess is MS-63 at any top tier TPG. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I agree with the consensus of ms64 with a very good chance at ms65. Nice problem free coin.

I find it takes on heck of an 1880-S to impress these days. Though with different lighting I could see this coin 64+ easy too. It's hard to tell from a stationary photo, from varying light sources on the website. Quote:
Selling any Morgans? I like your grading. Not at the moment, but every couple of weeks or so I put some up on ebay. My feedback shows I grade pretty conservatively and/or fairly when selling coins, so keep an eye out for them  I didn't come to CCF to sell, but more to participate - since I've moved away from all my old coin buddies I used to see in person and don't get to jaw and brag over pizza and beers (or grade under restaurant lighting)  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I see no reason this isn't MS-65, there is virtually zero chatter on it.

Its avery nice coin but I would say a 63.There are a couple of neck dings,some chatter rt. obverse field,scuff marks temple,chin and forehead.I would say westcoins observation is right on. But who am I!

This one could go as high as MS65. It is very difficult to grade a Morgan with this much toning from a photo. I will say that is a very nice coin.  |

Most of the dings look like toning to me.

There are very few contact marks on this one. I've seen similar pcgs slabs at a 65....I put it at a MS 64 myself because I don't have the confidence in my grading to boast a 65. I have a few slabbed MS 65's that compare to this coin. Eye appeal in hand is amazing.....the best part is it only cost me $55.

64 to me and it might be PL or at least semi-PL? I think it might be hard to see from these pics, but my guess is it is.

Uh, do I see some doubling on the date? If so, maybe it's worth a bit more? Have you checked VAM's on this one? My commission is a mere 9%. |

Good eye Lobby, It does have a doubled date however I do not believe it carries a premium.....my favorite morgan strikes are the 80-s and 81-s and I believe roughly half of the ones I own have a doubling of the date....I think I subconsciously pick those up. Not really a premium but does add to the cool factor.
