Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 12:50 pm Ok everyone knows I suck at Grading Morgans !! But I have determined a grade in my own mind for this coin ,, and would appreciate the opinions of the more knowledgeable !! The obverse color is accurate in the pic. Thank you Metalman Report this Post to the Staff

b.j. New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 2:04 pm I know that many of the 'O' mintmarked Morgans were weakly struck, but this still appears to have a small amount of wear. This can be difficult to tell for certain by the photo alone. I would give it an AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 2:29 pm I see no wear,I do see a flattened ear signifying a weak strike.There are a number of contact marks,no rim damage and good luster.I will say BU possibly MS61. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 4:05 pm I see a possible 63. The coin does not look like it has been circulated. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 4:37 pm 62-63. The "shelf" above the ear is characteristic of a New Orelans strike, and I see no corresponding wear on the round part of the cap, which is the next place my eyes go after looking above the ear.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 02/23/2007 4:43 pm This Morgan looks close to Unc, but I see signs of rub in the fields and on Liberty's cap. The luster band should probably be sharper and more distinct on a BU dollar. I think AU55 or 58 would be about right. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 02/24/2007 02:09 am Hi Terry I had the coin as a 63,, but I can live with the concensus grade of 62. I paid EF money for it so I'm happy . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
