I guess I just wasn't seeing the weak strike, and that should not play into the grade technically, I let that cloud my judgement on this one. Nice call Dave.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/03/2014 11:39 am Well, we know New Orleans Morgans are weakly-struck by nature. On this one, look at the area around/above the ear, and the talons/arrows. Those two spots are almost flat, featureless. They blend. The breast and legs are involved as well. And Morgans simply do_not_wear in that fashion. Only one thing can create that look - an abysmal strike even for New Orleans. It's so obvious that there's no way PCGS does not factor the strike when grading this one. With a strike this weak, you don't even take those areas into consideration. Ignore them. Study the known wear areas elsewhere on the coin - cotton bolls/leaves, cheek, lower hair, top edges of the wings. Those are at an "AU" level of wear. This is an AU coin.
