JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 06:01 am Here's a Morgan for you to grade, the weight pic just because I was curious if any of you knew the approximate weight of this type holder. The bigger ones I use with the foam ring weigh about 8.2 g. Thanks in advance for all your help! http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...Cobverse.jpg http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...Creverse.jpg http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...CCweight.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 06:26 am I will say MS-62, the Reverse is pretty but that Obverse looks awful baggy to me Report this Post to the Staff

JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 09:08 am Thanks Bryan and TLS! The first pics I took in March, overhead fluorescent lights (energy saving incandescent replacement), and afternoon sun coming in the window, handheld. The weight one I took this morning, under my trial and error incandescent light setup. Obviously I need to figure out that white balance stuff and get a tripod! Report this Post to the Staff
CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 09:30 am I like just about any coin with the CC mint mark on it!. There are some bag marks , but this is very common among morgans. Appears to have lots of original mint luster, overall a very nice coin and a piece of history. MS63 Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 09:32 am John, Another thing to think about when shooting coin pics is most of the plastic holders or airtites we put our coins in have small scratches and marks that can make the coin look like it has more hits than it actually does.

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 09:43 am I think its a MS63. I see lots of graded MS63 that have a lot of contact marks on the cheeks. Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 05/14/2008 10:04 am My first thought was MS63, based upon the eagle's breast feathers on the reverse, and her hair above her ear and the fact that it is nicely struck. However, the more I looked at the obverse, the more I became aware of the bag marks, particularly upon her cheek, and I'm afraid that they do detract from the overall appearance. So I'd have to agree with the others - MS62. Report this Post to the Staff
