I was the first one through the door last Saturday, asked if there were any coins and was directed to a small old cigar box. It had this 1885 Morgan in a 2X2 and many circulated 1 cent coins from the 30's and 40's all very well-worn. I will post what I paid latter today. Thanks for the help with grading!   |

Looks to me from those pics to be a MS64

 Looks like luster is strong and unimpaired and there are only a few marks, with the little cut on the cheek being the most significant. It's a common date but this is a nice one. What was the "tag sale" price you paid? |

Images are way too small for an accurate opinion, but I'm comfortable that it's Uncirculated and somewhere in the 63-64 range.

Nice find, I'm no expert on MS Morgans but it appears to be in the MS63-64 range,
PCGS has a great photo guide to MS coins, You can find their images of Morgans and compare them to your coin to get a decent idea.

The price: First this was a ‘professionally' run tag sale / estate sale. Everything is priced you can ask for a discount and usually get one. This Morgan was priced at $45.00 I said thanks paid and left. I was not sure of it was real until I got home and compared it to another. IF this was a one on one sale and the seller knew nothing about coins (that would make both of us) I would have suggested we get an idea of the value and correctness before setting a price. I love a deal but I like to sleep well at night. But this was a ‘professional' estate sale company. At least near me MOST are not very nice they make you feel as if they are doing you a big favor just for showing up. So I took the coin and left for the next sale. At home I called a friend sent him these photos he looked in the Gray Sheet for MS63 and MS64 $62/$68 and $125/$135 respectively. Thanks for the help grading I think in hand it makes the 64 ?  |
