It appears slightly over-graded from that photo. I would call it MS61 possibly 62 max based on the obverse.

I agree with dave, a fair bit of bag marks here, probably 61 or 62. You can't trust anyone but the top 4 TPG's (to be honest it's top 3, ICG isn't trustworthy IMO). |

That's not what you'd exactly call a "reputable" company. They went Chapter 7 in 1991, leaving a bunch of customers in the lurch. They were one of those "overprice, overvalue, overgrade and hard sell" ripoff artists. Some of the marks I see leave me wondering if it's get a righteous grade at all from a real TPG, and if it did I don't think the number would reach as high as 63. |

Definitely not a reputable TPG, and like the others have said, the coin looks overgraded from the pictures. |

Can you provide a reverse pic? Any so called grading company that includes the word bullion in their company name, is a red flag for anything other than inaccurate grading.

Generally for $20, you can't go wrong with a MS Morgan.

The reverse looks really nice. I'll hold at MS61/62 limited by the obverse. Nice buy for $20 Mike.  |

Great deal. And that reverse is like looking at the hot red head on the arm of the (obverse) ugly gnome of a guy.

Almost thought you might have had a VAM 1B, but the mark on your pic where the E looks too far to the left and I don't see the crack across the date. 1887 P is a nice year to check for VAM's. Edited by sjh241

Quote:1887 P is a nice year to check for VAM's.  There are quite a few nice VAMs to look for, the VAM 12 doubled eye lid is pretty common, but none the less cool. There is the overdate, the double date, the clashed and E on reverse. Some of these can be nice premiums. The coin isn't too far off a MS63 grade I think. Probably a MS62 by todays stricter market standards from a top tier TPG.
