I'm at AU-55 with a slightly worn obverse die.

I would put it in the pile. It looks one that would be worth a shot. AU55/58 would even be a win depending on what you paid for it.

The coin overall has the look of a MS and could possibly grade around a 63 but if it does have any wear it doesn't look like it would grade AU-58. Tough call. Definitely worth getting it slabbed.

What are opinions ... That a TPG ... like NGC, would they grade it different because of the higher value this coin would have if it hit a MS grade? |

In MS, expect the TPG's to grade it a little tougher than common date morgans. They want reduce the likelihood of having to honor their guarantee if it someday submitted for a grade review. I would send it to PCGS if I thought it has a good shot at grading 63 or better and if it is something that I would consider selling/trading in the future. Based on Heritage's archives, the difference between NGC and PCGS can be a few thousand dollars. Below about 61, they seem to sell for roughly the same. Keep us updated if you decide to submit because this has potential. Edited by D0ubl3Eagle

I like the coin and think it is MS. The carbon spot gives it character and a unique marker. I also like the neat "lightning" die break running through "United". It has some scattered toning, too, which is appealing. Definitely send it in for TPG. I think you will come out way ahead in the long run. Down side risk is minimal. |

I think this one is a slider.

I couldn't in good faith come down on the side of Uncirculated for this one. Especially when that simple distinction instantly triples the value of the coin. It would require a set of huge images to try it from photography alone, for a Conditional Rarity like this issue.

I understand. Been there, done that! I just got around to sending off 10 Buffalos for the Fall ANACS Special they are running.
I'll ask about the 96-O again in a couple of months. I still think it's a very nice coin.

I have the NGC coupon for 5 free submission .. really need

Thanks and I understand.
People do not realize how tough that coin is in "unc" until they try to find one.
Will inquire again in a few months.

I see an AU coin, but I am no expert. I've been wrong plenty of times.
When I look at the pic though, I also see fields and devices which have
the same 'tone', or look to them. I was taught that when the devices and
fields have the same surface appearance, the coin has been cleaned.
When the coin is 'in hand', does it look monotone like the pic, or can
you see different surfaces?
