Nice toning! I think this coin is pretty clean, luster is coming through nicely... I am going to say MS64.

I think it is much nicer, I'm going with 65 and a good day could go 66. I have seen slabbed 66 with more marks than this one.

Thanks guys.

She does have great luster underneath the patina. You can see the cartwheel coming through strong.

I was concerned about the rim and edge dings bringing her down. Their are also dings in the first "U" in Pluribus and the "O" in Dollar.

Thanks on the pictures. A lot of trial and error and I think I now have a set up that works.

I am considering having it slabbed with three other coins that the board came in at MS63 or above. 3 Morgans and a Franklin half.

What would it cost to have 4 coins slabbed?

The total cost of the four was about $100.

A toughie I think MS64 as long as there is no wear spots over the eye, I can't really tell, but it looks nice.

Very nice looks like it could go MS-64. Let's see I'm trying to use the best words for the color not golden toning maybe light golden russet toning. I like this particular color of toning on Morgan as it does show originality but not everybody like on cherry toning. Way too many people want an over 100 year old Morgan dollar to be white and then do not know what original white is supposed to look like.
