AU58 or MS62.
Not a bad coin for your first one. My first one was an 1885-O in VG.

Very nice first Morgan. I think it could reach MS63. Now let's see your second Morgan.  |

Thanks for the replies.
I'm still working on flattering lighting for my coin pics, so this looks better in hand. It's extremely "frosty". I have everything from AU-58 to MS-64 up there, so maybe I need better photos.
As long as it is at least MS-60, I didn't pay too much for it.

Yea I'm also torn between AU58 and MS62. There could be a touch of rub on the eagle's right wing tip. Nice luster though. Great first Morgan!

MS-62/63. This is one of those how-the-grader-is-feeling-that-day coins.

Unfortunately, I see wear on the wing tip on the left, so I'd call it AU58. In any case, this is a lovely Morgan and I'd be proud to have it  . |

I'd say that is an excellent first Morgan, sir. They are addicting. I'm thinking it would grade a 62. Keep 'em coming!

I don't think the wing tip is wear when the D and S show no signs of wear. I think its just a New Orleans weak strike with not enough metal flow.
