blagadag New Member Philippines 31 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 8:14 pm i see a lot graded in MS with a worn tip of feathers of this kind of coin Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 9:35 pm The Sept 2018 Goldberg auction had a half dozen examples of this type covering grades from AU-55 to MS-63. If you scroll down toward the end of this link you will find them https://www.coinarchives.com/w/resu...&results=100 To my eye, your obverse is better than any AU example I see, but not the reverse. I agree with coinfrog that even high MS grades do not show lots of detail on breast feathers like you would see on a Morgan. But lower half of shield on this coin has some issues.
