I have 6 free coin grade certificate from PCGS, I have 5 high grade morgans, and was thinking of making this #6? Thoughts. These pictures dont really show that the coin still has some hints of red in the lettering on the front and all through the fields and wreath on the obverse.

Yes, you should .

Coin shows at least high AU details.
I'm not comfortable enough with these pics to call a numeric score (or whether it's UNC). Not even sure about the surfaces because of the lighting, but they're probably fine.

I hate to say it but I don't think I would send it in. The coin doesn't seem to be genuine. The style of the date looks off, the details in the wreath are a little bit mushy, and the coin appears to have the bold N's reverse. Indian cents until 1870 have shallow N's.
Rest in Peace

Definitely counterfeit. The date is way off. You should send it in to confirm it's authenticity or lack thereof.

Yes.. have to agree, the N's are a bit to bold for my liking and, the 1 in the date doesn't look right either.. but, you could send it in to make sure.
