Oooooooooooooooooo, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Gotta love em' toned Morgans! I woyuld say Ms-65, but the front looks weird... could just be the pics. You do realize it has a nice Die clash, which makes it a VAM, right? |

You guys think it's a slider? Where do you see traces of wear?

From the pictures, I don't see any luster.

Maybe a different photo would change my mind. At first I thought high grade but the absence of luster is where my grade came from.

From the photos it's hard to tell if there is wear on the high points of Liberty's hat

Try taking the picture of the front sideways like you did the back... either way it is beautiful and has a nice VAM :) |

Helzels: The die clash you are referring to is above the wing below "IN"?

MS-63 maybe 64 With the photos provided, I can see luster that doesn't apear to break up, I see a small scratch on the neck and a dig in front of the forehead Obverse. The coin is not all that well sturck evident by the flat hair above liberty's ear. Not crazy about the color, may go questionable color or AT.

After a further reviewel I'm going to change my opinion of this coin from AU55 and agree with westcoins grade/s and comments. MS63 maybe 64.

I hate grading MS coins by images...
All I can safely say, it's an attractive coin and
could grade in the 64 range ( +/ - ) ... I see no rub.
The chatter is at a minimum.
1889 is a favorite date of mine.
