Only posting the reverse, since the obv looks better.
Its an au-grade coin, but I love the toning on it.

The only worries I have is the that the fields on the sides of eagle and in good we trust looks scratched? Signs of cleaning?

So many questions I know :/ but I learn alot from you all. But I bought one morgan I will be posting when she arrives for grading

Beauty! If truly an AU coin, it would be a super slider. I would guess UNC based on the reverse.

The lines around the motto you may be seeing appear to be fingerprint toning lines. I see a highly original and attractive coin with no signs of cleaning or any other problems.

Told you, I learn every time I post here :)

Thank you very much, I thought the marks was from a brush or similar.

´We will se if I grabb her, the 87 is a common date as I understand. So many coins to get.

Thank you all.
Here is pic of obv just for fun, great luster, some marks on chin.But I think its beatufull, and now I know what a slider is

Looks uncirculated to me and with that toning it's worth a small premium. $70 may be on the high side but really not bad. Market price for my area I think.

Looks good to me. Not seeing any signs of a cleaning.

Edit: I am talking about the first Morgan.

Dang, hence the "shiny colour" but lifeless with irregular surface. Might be old dipping since small toning are visible.

To bad, its in a lot of 5 and the other ones look better.

Yes I hope the one I bought has some good toning. I'm not sad if I bought it for marketprice give or take. I like coins with a bit of patina
