Would that ding in the lower jaw be considered a bag mark?

Yep, they are bagmarks on the jaw and under the eye which is why it only graded at 61. A very nice coin otherwise  |

Right, those deep jaw and cheek hits just destroy this coin.

Nice find I've seen 63's that look worse

Do you all think this coin was properly graded by NGC? I am just curious what your opinions might be.

I think it's gorgeous but I believe the jaw hit is what's holding it back. That's a shame because she's a beauty.

I would personally say MS-62 but I suspect NGC noticed something else in hand like degraded luster that dropped it down to a 61. Many of the "blast white" coins out there have been dipped a time or two.

PS - Dipping would be considered improper cleaning? |

I stumbled upon this Morgan on ebay today. NGC graded it an MS 63, however there seems to be considerable bag marks on the coin. I am curious, just how subjective is grading? To my eyes, the two coins (mine above and this one) don't differ that much. As always, thanks in advance for your insights.   |

Very nice coin!
IMO it got the grade because of the cheek and in one of your pics the hair appears a little flat and lacking detail near the bottom. That will certainly affect grade.. Don't know if it presents this way in person.
