No there is not. At least, not one graded by PCGS or NGC. The highest graded examples they have are MS-69 and those are 1880-S (pop. 5 PCGS, 0 NGC) and 1881-S (2 PCGS, 0 NGC). One graded 70 would be

I think if an MS-70 Morgan certified by PCGS or NGC existed, it would be priceless...

I own 9 Morgans + 1 Counterfeit Morgan and none of them are that high, I have 2 1880-S and a 1881-P and they are MS, but probably 63's. The others are around Good to VG.

1) 1880-S
2) 1880-S
3) 1887-O
4) 1890-O
5) 1900-O
6) 1892-S
7) 1881-P
I'm forgetting the other two... theyre locked in a fire box and I don't want to pull it apart

Then I have a 1901-O Counterfeit

There is also the Jack Lee 1896-S in MS69, a coin which is vanishingly close to 70. There is one mark next to a star on it, and that's all.

The highest I have owned were two MS-66 coins. To be honest there isn't a huge difference between 65 and 66. You can get 67 luster on a 65 if you are willing to look past a few light bag marks.

I too have handled and owned a fair number of MS67, + and * graded Morgans, never a MS68 though. The last Legend sale had a couple as I recall. They are not out of sight in pricing, but still not exactly cheap either, one would run around $4500+ for one. I know Larry Shapiro Coins regularly carries them in stock, in fact a current search reveals quite a few of them in his stock.
