That is an NCG slab .... not PCGS. Are you feeling it is overgraded or undergraded?
The very significant contact marks on Ms. Liberty chin and mouth are in a prime focal spot and severely detract from the coins appeal and technical grade.

Please show us a photo of reverse so we can make proper evaluation . As said ,hits on chin is a definite deal killer for most of us.  ,  |

I'll have a picture of the reverse up in the evening, however, the marks on the chin, a very prominent area of the obverse, are so deep that I don't see how they would've arrived at this conclusion. A 64 is a near gem grade, and even if it is nothing special to see in a morgan, it still means a fairly clean coin. |

I don't see those marks keeping it from being a 64.

No way a 64 with those chin marks .... IMO

I suppose a Morgan could earn a 64 even with those chin hits. However, it should have excellent luster and eye appeal to compensate. This piece has rather diffuse luster and I see evidence of friction on the cheek. Based on these images I'd call it an AU-58 slider.

It seems like they grade 21 Morgans differently than the rest of the series sometimes. Like they are graded on a curved scale because of the typical bagginess of the issue.
The op coin is still a 63 in my opinion. At this point the reverse could only lower the grade not raise it.

That looks like a scan and I imagine the luster is much better than what we see.

I'd buy this one at MS-63 price.

If it was my money being spend, I would agree that this might have seen a couple pockets and is an AU-58. Those shave cuts on her chin are unbecoming of MS64 money regardless.

We can't call it AU-58 as we haven't seen the reverse yet. but for me I don't care what it grades because I would never be interested in a 21 Morgan with that chin. |
