Looks mint state, with decent luster and a good strike. A few hits in the fields and on the eagle are noticeable. MS-63 is the typical grade for an "average" uncirculated Morgan dollar. I'd call this one above average, so maybe a 63+ or 64. It's a nice-looking coin. |

Interesting coin. There is a break in the luster on the cheek and hair above the ear, and on the eagle's breast. What I don't see is luster disruption in the open fields, which I would expect on a slider. My best guess is cabinet rub or die state as the device frost wore down.
If this coin is UNC, I'm in at MS-64. The obverse is borderline 63/64, but the reverse is borderline 64/65, so IMHO it would net to 64. If this coin comes in as a slider, it is superb for the grade.

Good eye appeal, it's a 64 all day long!

decent strike for a 79(P). broken luster across cheek. eye appeal is above average. MS63 boarder line 64. reverse may pull it over the line

Slider. PCGS split the difference between 58 and 63.

Slider. PCGS split the difference between 58 and 63. It's not the strongest strike and it has definitely taken some hits, but I can't find any wear on the coin. What would bring it down to AU? I would have sworn it was at least MS62 if not 63. Edited by pristine2

Slider. PCGS split the difference between 58 and 63. So, PCGS, can't decide if a coin is circulated or not? That's a scary thought. Are there other examples where they would have split a Circ/Unc grade like that? If this is in fact net grading, it has hurt the book value of the coin. Every 61 I've held is an ugly coin - this one is certainly not. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Resubmit candidate. I'd buy this coin as a MS62 in hopes of a 63.
