mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 04:13 am Hi, I have attached four different photos of this silver dollar: 1) an obverse side using diffused lighting and then side-located axial lighting and 2) a reverse side also using diffused lighting and then side-located axial lighting. Please note how the axial shots bring out the minor bag marks as well as the pinwheel luster both of which are virtually absent using diffused lighting. Please assign a grade and opine on whether it would be worth it or not to have it graded and slabbed by a TPG. I was hoping to reach a grade of MS65 since the price jumps rather dramatically at this level but do not know yet if this coin meets the requirements for that level etc. Thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 10:57 am I will say AU-58 for this coin. Not much wear evident but the obverse fields have the look of an AU coin. Bit of a slider could possibly make MS-62/MS-63 but I think AU is the safer assumption Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 1:26 pm I agree with Fenton, could be an AU-58. But it could also go MS-62/63. IMO opinion 65 is way out of the question though.. Again, 63 is the highest I see this one going.. Nice Morgan though! One of the mints I still need! Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 5:28 pm I see an AU-55. The luster in the fields appears to be disturbed by friction. I think MS is unlikely. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 5:44 pm I agree with everyone above. AU55 or ms63 tops if actually uncirculated. Tough call from the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
