Here's one of 4 new Morgan I got these past few weeks.. 3 at a shop and this one off the bay. Usually I steer away from slabbed coins, but as many of you know I'm a sucker for nicely toned Morgan's.. So if I see a slabbed one, sometimes I just can't help myself! Actually a lot more recently.. Lol.. For some reason a lot of the nicely toned ones are slabbed... I can't get good pics of the others yet (or this one), one has amazing lime green rim toning! But I'm having a hard time getting the lighting right to capture the toning on them with my new USB cam. But this one was from offline and the seller captured the toning great in their pics, looks just like it in hand, bright as heck! Really glad I got this one I just love the blue on red! I'll post this one until I can get good pics of the rest, as well as some other newbies I've bought! What do you think PCGS put on the label?   Edited by NathanASE

Great looking Morgan. I'll go for MS65.

Surfaces look "clean" enough for MS-64 or maybe 65. However, maybe it's just the photos but it looks like there is some friction over Liberty's cheek and the high points of the hair over her forehead. A close luster inspection under good lighting is needed to decide if it's a beautiful AU-58 slider or a gem MS candidate.

I am with jaobler on this one. I am unsure if there is a bit of friction on the high points but something about the luster of the overall coin and lack of scuffing in the fields found on many AU-58's is making me think it could be MS. My guess is it graded MS-64.

I'm at MS64+ for now, bigger photos and that cheek is still clear then I'm at MS65+
Really great looking crescent toning Nathan!

I love this coin.. The colors are just great! really nice toning. I should have some more pics up soon.. Working on this one and others now. I forgot to mention... When I bough it there were pics of the whole slab as well as others, but they must have been old pictures.. Because when it came in it it was green bean'd! Yup yup.. Nice CAC sticker on her! And it definitely checked out on the CAC registry (as well as the PCGS.. I checked that one before I bought it) So needless to say I was VERY happy with this one when it arrived the other day, had that little green bean been on the ebay photos I bet the price would have spiked! So I think I got lucky on this one!  |

I'll say ms64+ as well, nice coin just a few hits behind the the head and on the neck n face n little patch on the reverse? Looks like she's got some sweet luster that's probably why the green bean was added. I don't see it over 64 though with holes

Sorry guys, been super busy and haven't even had time to get the lighting set up right for the USB cam... What a pain!! Lol. Here's a few quick shots from my cell.. PCGS gave it a MS-64, and it's got the CAC approval.. But to me it looks like at LEAST a 64+ if not 65! Compared to all my other slabbed 64's and even my 65's this one is nicer... So I don't get it.. Lol. I would to have loved to find this baby raw, lol... But that's just me I guess. But due to the toning I'm super happy with it no matter what.. And I'll try to get the lighting set up right with that USB can and get some new pics up soon.    |

How is the cartwheel luster on it?

The lusters unbelievable.. Great hourglass cartwheel.. Actually a double hourglass cartwheel, like a hourglass X of bright bright luster... Again, this one has better fields and devices as well as luster than all the other 64's and 65's I have...

I'd say 64+ too. Seems like CAC agrees.
