shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 1:16 pm Hey guys, Need some objective opinions on this one. Not sure if it's MS or not....have this one with a ? mark as it's grade. Any help would be appreciated. I believe this is a later die state O/S Report this Post to the Staff

Captain Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 1:46 pm Looks like some wear around the ear, my guess from the photos would be AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 8:46 pm No serious wear. It is struck a bit flat. Nice residual luster but I think it has seen a bit of handling so I will go with AU-58 Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 11:51 pm In agreement at AU-55+ from the photos, the jpeg compression has blured them a bit for me. The luster and rim toning look original, but wear on the high points, a lot of the New Orleans mint Morgans come softly struck. I've had my share of DMPL and PL strong strikes from New Orleans (not an O/S though - that would be nice). This coin is pretty typical on O?S strikes I've seen, I have about 8 of them nothing quite as nice looking as this one. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 09:09 am My gut was telling me a 58. Which I can be happy with. Would have been ecstatic for a MS grade but I'm thinking high AU is about right. Report this Post to the Staff
