Alright, this is my baby. This was my first Morgan. She is still my love, so be gentle.   |

A nice problem free coin. I'd guess AU-55 on this one and it does not appear to be cleaned.

I'll have to have the wife take another set of pics of the coin. It's just such a beautiful coin, that I haven't done it justice. It really is a great coin. I'd grade it at least an MS72 maybe a 73. :) Honestly though, I'll have to have my wife run the camera and see if she can show it off better than I have.

Honestly, I don't see any rub. I would say MS63 on this one.

This is one of the pics that I took of it when I first picked it up. It's still in the 2x2, but I think that I'm just over-magnifying the coin combined with bad lighting and its just not being shown off. Then again looking at this pic I am seeing more of the marks, but she's still a favorite.  |

Beautiful Morgan! Especially for your first. It definitely doesn't appear to be cleaned.
For a grade I'd say AU-55. It could just be the pics, but in the first set there appear to be rubs between "states of" & "in god we trust" and the former & the eagles head. And in your second photos it appears to have rubs (the darker grey color) around liberty's face (which were not visible in the first photo) & to me would indicate slight circulation.
But by all means I'm no expert, so I VERY we'll could be wrong...
But in any case beautiful Morgan!

AU55, this coin has seen some circulation.

My first impression based on the first pictures was this coin is around a MS-62/63 but the most recent picture seems to show scuffing in the fields and breaks in the luster on the cheek which would suggest a coin that would grade AU-55/58. Either way, you have a very nice coin!

After 40 years ......some years ago these would be MS63...LUCKY to make Ms58 these days to protect the market.......values........In the past such defined chest feathers would never be AU.....but now they are slider coins.....MS 58 when MS63 have less chest feathers and tallons with such detail.......Market vaklue.to there won design
