ClubMedka Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/04/2013 1:43 pm I have a quite a few more coins to put up, so you will see them up in the next few weeks. Here is a recent raw purchase, had some cool rim toning. It has a pretty gnarly rim ding on the reverse at 11:00, but would that affect the grading process? What do you all think of the grade?

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/04/2013 7:29 pm Ball park MS63, but, could also be a AU58. The photos you provide fail to show luster and you really need to see the luster to accurately determine the grade of a Morgan. Edited by 1893S 12/04/2013 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ClubMedka Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 01:39 am Well I will work on capturing the luster a bit more in my shots. I had it around 63 myself, except I wasn't sure if the ding might knock it down a point or two, or even to AU. Any idea if that kind of ding makes a big difference? Report this Post to the Staff
jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 01:48 am I would say yes... that would bring it down a couple notches. IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 03:39 am MS62 A big ding should never knock an Uncirculated coin from MS designation, it's only wear/rub light circulation and handling that will do take it down to an AU grade.
