Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 10:12 pm This is an interesting one! I love the clean fields and lack of bag-marks on this Morgan but the strike on the obverse (hair above the ear) and the lack of detail eagle's breast feathers on the reverse is weakish, IMO. Still, I believe this coin is an MS64 grade. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 10:37 pm I agree with Moe that this is an MS coin with a weak strike. I would guess this coin is a MS-63/64 with a slight lean towards MS-63. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 05/02/2012 11:48 pm Thanks for the grading so far! Is it worth sending in to get graded? Report this Post to the Staff
tatt2ed13 Pillar of the Community United States 557 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 5:09 pm Thats a nice one thats for sure .. Seems to have a bit of a "far Date" if I'm looking at it correctly .. My guess is also the MS-63 .. Price wise going by Numismedia.com looks to be about .78$ .. Ms 64 price is around 95$ -- The money seems to be in the MS-65 range at 300$ flat .. Id recommend since the photos are a bit tough to fully tell try matching your coin up on PCGScoinfacts .. they have a photograde application that you can simply match it up ... But with the provided photo I like the ms-63 .. Good luck , And I think its personal preference to grade it or not .. My opinion , if you want to keep it and not worried about the cost of slabbing go for it .. But if your going to re-sell it or anything , more thinking would be involved .. Just my honest opinion on that one .. Very Nice coin .. Phil \m/ Report this Post to the Staff

BuffaloBonehead Valued Member United States 333 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 11:56 pm It looks to be a bit of a weak strike. I want to see closer pics of the hair above the ear and the breast feathers. I'm still learning to accurately grade Morgans myself, and those two are the spots where I tend to have the most trouble. Report this Post to the Staff
