I picked this Morgan earlier this afternoon (on hold for purchase anyway) and wanted to hear what the CCF has to say. I think that it is a pretty nice specimen.

Thank you for your interest!

I am thinking either MS-63 or 64. Not easy to grade from the pictures.
Rest in Peace

Is this an 80 over 79 or am I seeing things? The top loop of the second 8 looks "funky". I wouldn't put it past you...

Looks to be MS-63.

Is it me or does the "S" mint mark look like an upside down 5? Maybe it's one of the S over S varieties.

Who me?

The slab insert is almost filled up to capacity. There is something about the mintmark that requires some close up images when I get it "in hand".

Nice coin by the way!

I have no idea where to place a value on this coin;

PCGS - No value listed

ebay History - none found

Numismedia - Nope

VAMWorld - nothing recent (2008 for a NGC version)

I did find a couple PL (real close) & DMPL coins but those can't compare

Probably paid too much, just south of a 100, but I like it!
