I think the top set of pictures might just make MS-64. In the bottom set of the pictures the marks look more numerous and a much more severe that in the top set. I would give that coin at most a MS-63. At about $200, I think you paid a fair price. The extra documentation is a little bonus.

my opinion is this one would grade MS-63, I think there is just a little to much chatter in the main focal areas to make it to the 64 level. The positive here is you definitely did better than you did with the capped bust you were talking about, and I would suggest everyone that likes Morgans to get at least one GSA Morgan of any date if they can afford it. I always suggest to make sure its complete with box and paper work (like you did) also, even though you can purchase those separately pretty easily it is just better to get the package as a whole unless you just get a great deal you can't pass up on a coin that's missing those items

I don't think it quite makes 63. With that said, the completeness of the package is quite the coup, and imparts what I'd call considerable additional value to the overall picture.

Well-bought indeed for under $200.

I think you got a great deal. The coin is worth close to what you paid and the paper that you got is worth an additional 20 or so. Nice coin, great history, valuable extras...what more can you ask for in a transaction. I have a set of GSA dollars and lots of the "paper" that goes with them and would love a pristine copy of the one flyer you have "The Coins Jesse James Never Got". That has been a hard one for me to find in perfect condition. If you ever feel the need to share..........
Rest in Peace

IIRC, premium ($30) coins were in blue boxes, rejects ($15) came in black boxes. Dunno about later groupings, when they went to an auction system (and as you can see, still couldn't get rid of them.

Biggfredd, I know the felt color in some of the boxes were different colored. Their was a blue and a greed felt and the ones that were not uncirculated just said Carson City Silver Dollar on the case. That's all I know for sure.
