I'm actually most worried about the marks at the jaw-neck junction - it's an easy 64 otherwise, but it's quite possible those would get " PMD" and a Details grade.


Yeah this, otherwise 62/63 (might get 63 due to overall eye appeal, honestly depends on how prominent the marks are in hand).

No way this is a slider or has any wear.

MS-64 IMO, no problem reaching that at a TPG I think, the toning color adds to the eye appeal nicely and would add a full point on the technical grade.


I don't think I've ever quoted myself before, LOL. But I was looking at this on a mobile device, and to be honest after I reviewed it on my MBP screen, I can't see this coin going over MS-63 at any top TPG now. Missed the hit to the neck area and didn't see how weak the strike is. Still an above average Morgan in the looks department. Technical grade is probably MS-61 with a push up for the color and luster.

MS63. Not a 64 because of weak strike.

My first thought was MS-62 with the typical New Oleans strike weakness. Nice toning. The reverse is particularly beautiful!

MS-63+. Only the mark on the chin/neck hold it back. Strike is pretty typical for the issue.
