D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 11:54 pm I'm going to go out on a limb a little. My guess is PR-62. The coin has mirror surfaces. The rims and date look sharper than on a business strike. The fields seem to have its share of impairments like hairlines. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 03:00 am Does have that Proof look to it, but I don't think the date position is correct for a Proof. I'd say AU55 should be PL but according to PCGS they have never certified any PL or DMPL Morgans of 1898 below a MS60 grade. Looks a lot like an 1878-S B1 reverse I had and sold to Larry Briggs. A MS61PL details cleaned could also be warranted, but I think the hairlines are more from light circulation than cleaning. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 08:51 am I'm also of the opinion that this is a PL coin, toned, of very high grade. I'll say MS-66 PL. Tough one! Edited by fenton 02/27/2015 08:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 09:59 am What do you think the 92 code is based on? Report this Post to the Staff
Necer149 Valued Member United States 457 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 10:14 am Looks like I got to this one too late, but I don't see anything that is screaming to me that this coin is cleaned. I was going to say MS66 PL. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7632 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 10:46 am Can't see the cleaning (code 92)? Look at the hairlines in the fields. They sure didn't get their on their own! Most likely the coin was dipped in Jewel Lustre, rinsed and then wiped with a terry cloth. The result of wiping a DMPL dollar with a terry cloth will be hairlines. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 10:53 am I was assuming the lines in the fields were die polish lines. Report this Post to the Staff
