It's all your fault. If I hadn't joined this marvelous community, I would never have fallen in love with the lady. Purchased a few days ago, once more, I bow to your wisdom. Please help me grade her.

This is a slightly better date that looks AU. AU53 or so. This date is worth more than common date Morgans of a similar grade and if you got it for under $50, you did well.

Interesting! Looks like a two beer dollar. High AU.

The coin itself looks really nice and lustrous. Unfortunately there are too many marks and hits on the cheeks. I would say its somewhere in the range of AU50 to 55.

This is a nice Morgan from my favorite year for USA coins. Because of the marks on this nice coin and I can't see it so good from my phone I'm gonna go somewhere around a 50 for this nice silver coin.

I am thinking it is around AU-50/53.

So what I think I am hearing is that despite her luster, under a loupe, the lady got banged up too much. I'll write AU 53 to be generous to my son and tell him, "Use a low power magnifying glass when showing her off." Thank you for your consideration. I felt lucky to nab this one.

I agree with a low AU grade, however does anyone else think it looks buffed/polished? It could just be me or the lighting in the pics.

Either way, I still wish it was my coin. :)
