Evening/morning my friends! I have a question if you wouldn't mind helping me out with. Recently, I have inherited a Morgan dollar from my grandfather. To me, it appears to be in fair condition, but I would like your opinion to me. Sadly, since the coin looks as it does, I'm afraid that it's cleaned. Though there is tarnish on the right hand side that coves the "Unum" and the following star. Below are pictures of the obverse and reverse sides.   Thank you so much! Edited by nick56x

Still a nice coin!

Still a beauty, especially since it came from your Grandfather.

Thanks for the input guys. Are you sure it's cleaned? I mean, I know it's more difficult to truly grade via pictures, but I'm genuinely curious.

Yeah, the dead giveaway on this coin that its been cleaned are all the hairline scratches throughout the coin. Maybe wiped?

Looks like a non-cleaned AU53 Morgan dollar to me. I think the circulation rub is being confused with signs of cleaning, but the fields look too nice for this coin to have been wiped.

I think it would go AU55.

i think the scratches are just from circulation. I'm at AU53 also

 Looks fine to me, just light circulation wear plus (no doubt) some original bag marks. |
