basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 03/20/2007 2:42 pm I picked up this Morgan at a local Antique Show for $17.00. It was in a 2x2 but not graded. I have my opinion but would like for some others to give their 2 cents in order to validate my own.

basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 03/21/2007 09:28 am Don't know what happened to these photos, they looked a lot better on my computer, but when I tried to post I had to resize and now they are all grainy and spotchy...forget trying to grade anything from these, grading from photos is hard enough but when they are this bad it is almost impossible...will borrow someone's camera and try to retake tonight. I have a copy stand at home and that might help. thankx for all the input. By the way, I had it as AU 55-58, but need better photos to shore this up.thanxz again. Report this Post to the Staff
basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 03/22/2007 4:51 pm It is not as noticable on the coin, but the pic allows for detection of some rub on the coil tip of the cap that breaks the luster. Report this Post to the Staff
