I'd be in the AU-55 camp.

Very close to mint state, with slight friction visible on the cheek and in the fields. I think AU-58 would be correct.

This is why it's good to be able to tell a slider from a true MS coin -- the value gap for this particular date between AU and MS is very large. If you were to buy one raw, thinking it was MS, and it came back AU, that wouldn't be a good thing at all. Most of CCF called it correctly as AU  This particular one is pretty baggy and nicked but with strong luster. It's not a super low mintage date or MM but for some reason when you get into MS the price goes nuts really quick.   Thank you for looking & posting!

This one has great luster, just too many contact marks. It should look fine in an Unc set at a fraction of the cost.

It's still a pretty big value coin at AU58. Did you purchase this one already graded?

Purchased at grade fresh back from PCGS. I know the seller, and buy from him fairly regularly, mostly Morgans, so I got the coin for $130 below 58 FMV, free shipping. Decent deal on a coin with 58 luster but lots of nicks. He lets me know when he gets coins back from NGC/PCGS that he bought from customers and sent off, this one is part of a group of 30+ AU-low MS Morgans he purchased in May of last year. Eye appeal is good-very good, coin looks MS in hand; I'll try to capture some of that with my own pictures. I also bought my '78-CC DMPL (63) from him last year.
I just need 1885, 1886, 1893, 1894, and 1895 to finish my AU-MS Morgan date set. Obviously I can do the 85 and 86 in MS but the 93-94-95 AU is going to be tedious.

Using flash & full lighting, which washes it out a bit.   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |
