Yeah, I agree as well. Anything above MS66 is an amazing find if it came out of a mint bag. It would not surprise me in the least if some examples made it to certain collectors fresh off the press.

Yes, that's true. There probably weren't many coin collectors back then, so there weren't a lot that were carefully set aside. I'm not sure if I've seen ms 69s yet, but I have seen 68s, and it seemed like it was a justified grade. Occasionally PCGS and NGC might overgrade, but I think it's very rare...

It is HIGHLY doubtful they would overgrade. Ms68/69 morgans are moon money compared to 67 and below and with their buyback protection guarantee they would be liable for big $ so the coins of this caliber are HEAVILY scrutinized by the top graders and given only the most accurate grade. Then again there's Murphys Law so...

And remember too that there are no MS70 Eisenhower dollars either. They were minted nearly a century after the first Morgan dollar was struck. Apparently, Ike wasn't handled very well either.

If anything, the Eisenhower dollars were handled worse..

I would have loved to see a proof 2015 Eisenhower dollar issued for the C&C set, even if it were only Cu-Ni clad. Just imagine how amazing it would look using today's minting process.

Just to put monkey in the works. What about a proof 70 morgan was that even possible. I'm guessing if anything had a shot in th 19th century to grade 70 today would be a proof if anything
