I just got this 1903 Anacs Matchbox Morgan dollar and I feel like sending it to PCGS. What would you grade it? I think it has a chance of upgrading but I'm not sure. I still want to send it in even if it wouldn't upgrade? I would appreciate your opinions. I will reveal what ANACS graded it tomorrow.    |

The toning spots will be an issue wherever you submit it.
The question for me (if as a grader) would be are the toning spots due to a poor rinse following a dip, or are they from a "natural" oxidation process?
Also, what is that hole looking thingy between the "P" and the "L" in Pluribus?

Agree - the poor rinse diagnosis make sense. It is not natural-looking.

This photo was taken at an angle. The toning appears natural to me and some colors are visible when looked at in person. The coin has a numerical grade, not details.

ANACS probably said MS 62, that's a nasty hit on the cheek. Toning is definitely NOT appealing on this coin and it might squeeze out a technical MS 63 but I'd leave it in the OWH.

I think its the bad photos. The coin is much higher than a 62. Ill upload better straight on photos in a few. Thanks for the heads up.

The reverse is nice, but the hits on the face may limit it. I'd say no higher than MS-63.

New photos much better
MS64 and toning looks natural to me, a little spotty, but natural

Could very well be graded MS63 in this generation ANACS.

Yeah, better photos; 63 with a shot at 64.
