Just got a new camera so I'm learning how to use and with or without the new camera I'm a pretty horrible picture taker. Sorry in advance about all the photos.

Those aren't too bad for a first try.
(Avoid taking pics at an angle, straight on is always best.)
-Also try some basic editing software to crop and adjust color/contrast etc.

#3 and #5 are about the best, IMHO.
This coin around MS63-ish would ballpark around $50. or so raw.

-Try the photography forum here, a wealth of information.

that Morgan is in pretty good shape, especially the reverse. At least a 63, but think the luster/appeal could bring it up!

I agree that you did a decent job for your first attempt with this camera! Not too bad!

I'm in at 63, I'd say its solid there. I don't think it'll reach a 64 though, a bit too much contact in the face & fields... We're it one or the other then probably, but with both I don't see it above a 63. But still a nice lady!
Rest in Peace

I agree it's a solid 63, however I have seen similar Morgans slabbed 64. One quick photography tip is to crop your photos to just outside the rim of the coin. It's a waste of image pixels.
