Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 03/20/2007 8:01 pm Okay, how about some grade opinions on this Morgan. Personally, I think it's in the AU-58 range. There appears to be some of the (usual) uncirculated powdery texture missing from the eagles breast feathers and the hair is a little slick. I'll say this coin must have been beautiful when it was struck. Too bad it saw some saddlebag action... Thanks for looking Ben Reason for edit, Grammatical error Edited by Bonedigger 03/23/2007 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/20/2007 8:19 pm I think I can agree with AU58. The talons and largest (lower) wreath leaves would show if it were a weak strike, while not wearing as quickly as the breast. I tend to stick to the reverse when deciding between AU and Mint State with Morgans. It didn't circulate much at all, though. Report this Post to the Staff

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 03/22/2007 7:53 pm I think you had it right, Bonedigger. Slider with a simply hammered strike and ms62-3 looks. Edited by hadleydog 03/22/2007 7:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
