cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 9:52 pm Lets see how I can do without checking any books. I say MS 63. I see the dig in front of her forehead and scuffs on the neck and under the chin on the obverse (as well as scratches? on the cheek. On the reverse the big gouge under the wing as well as the lines detract. Is it in a holder, and are those straight lines on it? Anyway, I say 63 again, and I would love this Morgan in my collection.

Benji Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:14 pm Looks like very nice 64. The 85cc (along with the 84cc) is one of those pieces that has very little relative price difference between F+ and 64. It makes that decision to go with the higher grade a lot easier!

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:17 pm What I'm seeing on the cheek could be mostly just breaks in the frost, or could be actual marks. If the former, I agree with Benji. If the latter, I agree with cpfull. Decisive, ain't I? Report this Post to the Staff
Bottleguy Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:25 pm Well, so far I'm liking what I'm hearing! The lines on the cheek and hair above the ear are light planchet striations. I just wish the obverse was as nice as the reverse! Here's some color photos with the camera, vs. the black & whites with the scanner. The chatter on the cheeks and fields on the obverse looks worse than it really is, but hey....... it don't matter 'cuz I paid less than a NGC AU-53 price for it! Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 08/19/2007 3:17 pm Well one things for certain, it's better than a AU-53. I'd say it's a MS-63. Great Buy. Report this Post to the Staff
