The coin in hand has some PL characteristics. I took these with a 10MP camera in low natural light. if the pictures are not good quality feel free to say so. I have always struggled with getting an honest coin pic.   |

Must agree. Surfaces look too good to be true in this lighting situation.

Are these any better? I added more light and held the coin in my hand....   |

new pics are a little better. i'll take a shot at it at MS64. reverse looks 65 and has some PL qualities. not sure if obverse does or not and you need both sides for the designation. something is going on in the date not sure how this affects it

It looks like a very nice coin. 64+ From photos the coin appears to have a shot at PL. A lot of the 79P's have a PL obverse and a reverse that just misses PL.

These are the best I can get. The back I'm pretty sure would go 65PL... The front seems PL as well, but I am just getting frustrated trying to get the right light on the coin and lining the camera up. There is some chatter in the field on the obverse but not much.    |

Thanks for the added pics. Tough call. I'm guessing it makes 65 but not PL.

Need better pictures but seems to be in the MS-65 to MS-66 range, possibly PL. Cheek is remarkably clean.

MS-65, and it looks to me like it could be PL.

Cheek is clean, fields do have a bit of chatter on both sides. I'd be on the 63-64 fence and lean towards 64.

If this is in an old green holder I'd crack it out or send it to PCGS for reconsideration. Looks like a 65 to me.

It was just graded. The holder is green because it is the PCGSCOIN 30th anniversary green holder

I tend to agree with the MS63 grade. There seems to be a lot of chatter going on in the fields on both the obverse and reverse as well as slight scuffs on the cheek. Nice coin, but properly graded IMO. The PCGS MS65 Morgan dollars I have, have much less chatter on the obverse and none on the reverse. |
