NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 11/05/2013 8:49 pm Looks like a textbook AU-50 (maybe 53) to me. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 01:17 am It seems to be around an AU-53 or 55. A 53 seems a tad more likely because of the discoloration around the date. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 01:57 am AU 53 to 55 ....like about 99.99% of all 84-S dollars out there in coin land. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/06/2013 04:15 am I'm going to agree with the mid-high AU opinions given, for two reasons: 1) There's a sharp difference in contrast/luster between broader and narrower areas of the fields; it's most noticeable on the obverse image at the E and M, where the most-direct lighting plays on the fields. That, and the stain on the date, are things which happen in circulation. 2) This is one of the very rarest Morgans in Mint State condition. A $250 coin in AU55 becomes a near-$10,000 coin in poor Mint State condition, yet AU's are quite common. With these somewhat-small images preventing a certain opinion, one defaults to the most common probability. Report this Post to the Staff
