fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 12:56 am Looks like a normally toned Morgan dollar in EF-45 to AU-50 condition Report this Post to the Staff
joep914 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 12:57 am wow you really think it would grade as high as an AU50?... Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 01:46 am What will hold it back is wear not the toning. I'm not sure how much of the hair and breast feather weakness on that coin is attributable to strike (not uncommon for "O" coins) v/ wear. If it is wear, probably more in the EF-45 worst case EF-40 range. If flatly struck, could definitely make AU. Seems to show some luster in your photos which is a good sign.

afclassic87 Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 03:22 am It's a hard call with the picture being a bit to small to zoom in. I do agree it's in the range of EF - AU. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 08:41 am Would like to see closer pictures, but from what I can see I would also say EF-40. Edited by echizento 01/05/2011 08:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 12:29 pm Note according to Numismedia there's no significant retail price difference for this coin in XF-40 v/ AU-50 (both $28) so either way you have yourself a nice higher grade Circulated Morgan dollar.
