I was wondering what oyu guys thouhg it would grade at. I am think either AU58 or MS60 but I don't know alot about morgan I only own two the other 2 I had I gaveway or traded to other collecters. I know the collar in the pircture is not that good. I could find my normal light for my silver dollar so had to use a backup. But I hope the detail on the coin will tell you alot. It is prity shiny but not a bright white. Report this Post to the Staff

JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 02/22/2007 10:42 pm I can't tell if the weakness in the hair above the ear and the eagles breast feather wings is due to wear or a weak strike. If its wear then I would say a definite AU-58. If its uncirculated I would say MS-62. In fact I've seen slabbed 63's that had more bag marks than this. However with the hit on the end of the nose I am going to say MS-62. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 02/22/2007 10:42 pm I would call it BU. I know it might look like it has light wear in the hair above the ear but I think it was a slightly poor strike.The strike on the 1889's was mostly average or below average and they usually have poor luster.Your looks pretty good.

djluster Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted 02/25/2007 6:44 pm no more opions thank you guys so far. I tend to agree with somewher between a 58-63 but I am not a very good coin grader yet still working on it. It does seem to have a little bit of a week strike but still has some good details to it. just not a very good picture. Report this Post to the Staff
