Here is a nice 1878S morgan that I got at a coin show recently. What would you grade it? Its graded by NGC.

Hard to say George ms65/66 pics need more magnification. Did you get it at Albany show today? I just picked up 40 original green holder PCGS Morgan's all 64 and 65. Pm me your number again and you can see them sometime this week if you want.

Photos just not large enough or sharp enough, although the obverse looks fantastic.

Agree pics aren't sharp enough to grade properly - coin appears to have no defects to speak of, and that doesn't seem likely.

I bet it's a MS65PL but it looks even better. I think I see a good size hit on the jaw. Louis

Impossible to grade from those photos - could be anywhere from AU-58 to MS-65

This is a good example of how lighting and angle of the coin in the first obverse photo hides this coins MS-63ness.
Rest in Peace

Agreed. Looked at least 64 in earlier photos, but the slab photos look like NGC had the grade correct.

I agree. I did that to try to show that it looked Proof Like. I agree with MS 63, I just thought it might be proof like. I tried to include these photos just with the grade cropped out but I had problems with the optimizer.

Second set of photos shows the coin much better, I agree with MS63, just shy of a PL designation, close though.

First photo made it look almost like a MS-67 with no marks at all, basically. Second photos definitely make it seem like a accurate MS-63. Great strike, though.
