paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/28/2015 10:19 pm How they arrived at their grade for this coin is a real -- let's see how CCF views this 1881-O Morgan VAM-10 O/O. The dies on this particular VAM were overpolished especially on the reverse, which you can see in the "stemless" leaves on the lower wreath, and on the eagle's right wing. Solid strike for a New Orleans Morgan. Pictures and surface combine to make rub and marks look a little worse than they really are. I named her "Hot Date" due to the fiery reddish amber patch of toning around the date. Coin has outstanding luster, tried to capture some of that and the depth in its pictures.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 9:41 pm PCGS MS64. The reverse is almost fully PL and the obverse is semi-PL, but it's hard to capture in the pictures. I think this coin is really a PQ 63 or 63+, to be honest, and am quite confused why PCGS wouldn't have gone with 63+ in this case. Thanks for looking!
