If it's an old holder, it's probably MS-65 but It appears to be all of MS-66 by today's standards depending on the marks on the forehead. It's hard to tell what's inside that shadow. Very nice Morgan regardless.

I am no Morgan expert or even collector. But this is a stunning coin! MS65 was my first thought.

I'd guess this one is a MS64 and is probably higher like MS65+ in a current holder. PCGS had a white holder? When? Never saw one of those before! Now I want to see the whole slab photo.

Westcoin,

Sorry for the confusion, by white holder I mean the label is all white, rather than the blue color that has been used in recent years.

Thanks all for your guesses, I'll reveal later tonight to give others a chance to try

This is a pretty important coin. 1904-P is a serious Conditional Rarity in 65, and 66 is Top Pop for it. Price of admission for a 65 is north of $2000, and that's what I'm calling this one.

Is it just the photo or is there doubling in the second A in America on the rev? Oh and 65 is my uneducated guess.

Westcoin was right on the money. This coin is severely undergraded at MS 64 right now, and I will be breaking it out for an MS 65, or maybe even (though unlikely) a 66.

Called that one! - Hope you get an upgrade that's some big profit if it goes MS65 or better!

Ok, I received the coin in hand, and am still very confident for an upgrade. But, with a coin of this caliber, before I send it in I want another second opinion. Just confirm what you think! Thanks!

Its hard to tell from the small size of your photos but it doesn't look nearly as clean as it did in the sellers photos.

Beautiful Morgan and absolutely a conditional rarity! I'd say its definitely undergraded at 64. By today's standards it's all of a 65, with 66 not out of the question!!

Be sure to let is know what happens when you send it in!

*edit* the last photo of the new ones you just posted didn't load when I responded... But it just popped up.. That one shows some more marks than our other photos and definitley more than the sellers. I think 65 still isn't out of the question but I don't know about 66 after that last photo.. I don't think it will get that high.. But possibly 65... And still, definitely let us know!
