What's your take? Thanks very much. My files sizes are little big for the site so I'll link to the website-- http://www.pirateofpendants.com/1897sobverse.jpg http://www.pirateofpendants.com/1897sreverse.jpg PS I don't know why you would use them, but none of my coin images (even the occasional good ones) are restricted.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 04/15/2007 2:02 pm Hello Halfabustisbetter, This Morgan has definite even wear over the cheek and light rub over the high points of Liberty's cap and on the cotton bolls. There is a fair amount of luster remaining in the protected areas within the obverse legend, but luster is mostly reduced in the fields. The strike is very solid. I grade it AU50. The reverse shows only a hint of wear over the talons and breast feathers. I'd give the reverse an AU53 or AU55, for an overall grade of AU50. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/15/2007 2:20 pm I can get on board with the grade, but frankly I'm worried about the originality of the surfaces. It seems, to me, a little too clean for the level of wear. That opinion's not set in stone, of course. Report this Post to the Staff
