I hope this is okay to do. This one isn't more along the lines of testing your grading skills, but guessing what the TPG gave this coin. This is one graded by PCGS, but this one is a perfect example of no TPG is perfect. So this one is going to be tricky. Here it is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...forboard.jpgPhoenix  |

Judging by your wording, I am figuring it at one extreme or the other. I am going to go with the other and say 58. It does appear a little flat above the ear. Initially I thought 63 with some PL designation.
Can you let us know the mintmark? Or a reverse pic?

Sure. I'll reveal the big secret. It is a CC.  And a thing to think of is, what do most TPG's tend to do with CC Morgans?  Thanks so far. Phoenix |

I personally only give it a 62, but PCGS had another idea I guess. Phoenix |

So it is probably going to be on the 65+ side?

I can't go that far. But I can say, it is higher than Poor1 and lower than MS70. Seriously, I'll give a hint. It is higher than MS61. Good luck all. Phoenix |

I think the actual grade on this coin is MS64PL. I think PCGS gave it a grade of MS67PL, which would allow for their inflation of CC mint marked coins.  |

Lol, I agree. It isn't MS 67, but this one is a proven fact that even the top TPGs aren't perfect, and can still overgrade. I'll let this go on for another day or so, and see if anyone guesses it. Thanks everyone so far. Phoenix |

I think that it should be a 64-PL. However, I think that it got a 66.

Unfortunatly, no, you don't get the coin. I only wish it was my coin, but it isn't. But you get the satisfaction of getting the correct answer lol. Sorry. Phoenix |

Hmmm. Kinda flat for a Carson City coin, but up until lately PCGS was pretty enthusiastic with CC Morgans. MS65, not PL.

Are the marks on the face frost breaks? If so, ms65 is not unreasonable, and the ole Carson City bump brings her to ms66. Would love to see the reverse, if very PQ it could account for a half grade bump which would also explain the grade.

Without seeing the reverse it's tough to give an accurate guess. PCGS is loose on "common CC Morgans so I'll go withe MS66PL grade. I an anxious to see the grade revealed.  Mike |
