Well, Fred wanted me to wait a day or two for the other Morganphiles to take a gander. I reckon I'll reveal the grade & VAM tomorrow. Take Care Ben

Don't know about the VAM, but I think the grade is EF40. I'd like to see a little more breast feather detail and less obverse wear to go higher.

Gosh, I'm so used to New Orleans coins and 1921's that it's tough to grade one that was well-struck! Although I tend to lean towards Susan on strict grade, methinks it'll be found in an ANACS EF45 holder. I don't know if I'm seeing the hair as clearly as it could be; perhaps there's more hair there than meets the eye. I believe it's a VAM-5 High 9, but I could be wrong. That's the most likely candidate VAM that would be offered for visual identification with pics of this size.

And thusly, ANACS' reputation and credibility takes another blow. Fortunately, it's in an old-style small ANACS slab, but there's no way this Morgan would ever approach AU if it were submitted to PCGS today. Again, I can't say how ANACS would grade it if it were resubmitted; the new administration has yet to prove which way it's gonna go on Morgan grading. This example also illustrates why ANACS slabs go for considerably less on the market. We can only hope that ANACS has grown more conservative with its new leadership and location.
