Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 59634 Posts	Posted 03/15/2025 10:16 pm I'll guess between high AU to MS. Probably AU at best, in my opinion. Doesn't look cleaned to me. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 03/16/2025 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10971 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 12:44 am It's likely been dipped but should straight grade, easily a commercial uncirculated. A 58-62 slider. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 5766 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 02:07 am Looks like 63. I'm guessing the pics are dulling the luster and the hair details look pretty good! Report this Post to the Staff
Odee13 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 10:16 am Thanks all, higher than I expected. Found it at the local pawn shop (per usual) in the "well circulated" selection (I always go through it, looking to cherry pick Morgans) this one must have slipped through so I picked it up.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 17584 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 10:36 am i can see why you would think there may have been a cleaning but I'm also in the straight camp on this one. the 79(S) are very common in higher grades with sharp strikes so this one is typical. she could be a slider but I'm going with MS and it would fall in the MS63 box. the overall look of the coin is not strong for a 64 and not enough hits/marks to lower her to 62. imo the MS63 grade has the widest variances.

TeeEss86 Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 03/22/2025 03:45 am I enhanced your images and zoomed them in and I'm quite confident your coin has not been cleaned. As far as Grade goes, my best estimate is MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4984 Posts	Posted 03/22/2025 5:57 pm Solid MS-63 in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
