So.. opinions anyone? I think the pictures don't do justice to the Morgan and the scan makes it look dark for some reason... Once again, a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Christina for her generousity...

Again, another scanned picture that takes any life and pop away from the coin. Just from the clear fields and nick-free cheeks, I'll say at least MS62 to a high of MS64

The coin is Unc,, around an MS-63 ,,what you will find out if you continue to collect Morgans and especially the O mint Morgans that very many of them are weak in the trike ,, the most evident way to tell weakness from wear is by the wing tips on the reverse and the Cheek on the obverse ,, the center details are often weak on both obv.and Rev. as noted on this coin ,the breast and lower leg feathers and the leaves ,and on the obverse the weakness in the hair detail around the ear,forehead and lower curls.

Its a nice coin congrats on your first Morgan ,,and welcome to the O mints which I collect almost exclusively .

Thx guys... Christina just made my day today.... Not to mention, she also included a Susan Anthony dollar 1981-S which is a better date... and also a 1976 Bicentennial Quarter both are in UNC condition... The quarter would be a great addition to my Eisenhower dollar that Ken sent to me...

Okay, I'm dumb here. Who's Christina M.? Is she a member selling on the coin community site. (I'm still learning just to post photos! ha) And ,is she looking to adopt anyone? Just kidding, but what a beautiful morgan!
