This one is in an old Accugrade holder.   |

That's a great Morgan, Dave.
Looks like a 66, to me. How's the luster? That will play a role with higher grades.

The luster is much better than my photos indicate. I've been playing around with my lighting and what I've come up with works well on raw coins but gets a little shaky shooting through plastic.

Oooph! I am going to bump to 66+ or...might I say...67?!
Is that a mark in the field, just under the arrowheads? I see a couple ticks on the edges of the rim...but overall, ...nice one.

66 is definitely not out of the realm of possibilities, but I think the mark on the eagle and near the rim on the obverse/reverse is going to hold it from being a 67. I'll stick with 66 I think.

I would like to say 67 as well but am going in at 65 because looking really close there are a few deep marks on the reverse and plus the black spots and whatever is going on around the eagles right wing reminds me of a previous dip

That is one of the cleanest cheeks I've seen in a long, long time. The carbon spots on the reverse are a distraction.
I wouldn't be surprised if "Accugrade" slabbed it 68!
Real world grade today would be 65 to 66.

Tough to say from the photo - if the luster is booming might make 67 but from the photo best I can say is 65 or better

Oh wow... that's really nice and mark-free. Probably a 65 but also easily a 66.
