teslacoil Valued Member South Africa 331 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 10:52 am I have a Morgan that has a prooflike look, the 85 looks like it could be one I also took a picture of another Morgan I have to compare. I am most probably wrong but you never know * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 12:08 pm From your photos the coin does not appear to be prooflike. A Morgan can have a mirror finish in the fields and still not be graded prooflike. Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 5:13 pm To test for PL, point your finger right above the surface of the coin. Slowly bring your finger back until your fingernail is no longer clear. If that point is 3 inches away or more, then it is PL. I'm not seeing PL on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
