An expensive coin when AU or better. This one obviously comes in far beneath that rarified level, though. The maxim I keep reading and hearing for Morgans is, "Assign the grade based upon the obverse." In this case, the reverse is somewhat worse than the obverse, so should that approach be thrown out in favor of a composite grade, or even grading solely with reference to the reverse?   Colligo ergo sum

Uhhh...
AG 3.5
Obverse could pull a G-4 but the reverse is an AG-3 for sure...

Nice pick for a cull bin find! Scarce in any grade, really. I would think it is a G/AG but probably nets out to AG.

AG3. Obverse carries more weight, and the reverse will rarely lift a coin a gade, but the reverse can drag a coin back a grade. That's the best way to think of it.

AG-3
The obverse's condition is more heavily weighted in determining the grade than the reverse.
