Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 5:16 pm I bought this Morgan a while ago, and these were the sellers scans. What are your opinions on grade? The seller also said this in the description "You can see your face in this coin , I just dont know to show it with my scanner." So I am hoping that the coin is at least PL.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 5:34 pm Wow, that is one nice Morgan. The scan eludes to the PL surfaces, although only you can tell how deep the reflections go. I want to say this looks like a lock at MS66 with a real good shot for 67. Very nice example of what an early "S" mint should look like. Oh and this one deserves some Report this Post to the Staff

If the scans are accurate, there'll be far less reflectivity on the reverse but I'd guess you could shave in the obverse. Can't wait to see your pics, and I'll hold off on a grade until then. The speckles at the front of the face worry me. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/10/2012 11:27 pm It does appear to be PL and possibly in a high grade. I am eager to see some better pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 09/11/2012 12:08 am Well, very worst case scenario, I have to pay to ship the coin back to the seller. And lose the shipping cost, but get a full refund. I really hope that's not the case. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 09/11/2012 12:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
