rum_n_cola Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 3:43 pm Recently purchased this coin. It is a good looking specimen in my opinion. I am new to collecting this series. I am better at picking grades for Morgan's as I'm more comfortable. This has been graded by PCGS and will post grade tomorrow. Question, is the line on the obverse in the fields a die break? Do they affect value? And of course, what is your grade? Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 7:59 pm Thanks for the pic, but doesn't help. It's distracting to me, whatever the cause. Report this Post to the Staff
rum_n_cola Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 8:09 pm Thank you all for your replies. In regards to the toning line, is this something that detracts from the coin in such a way that it would affect value? Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 9:18 pm Overall I think the coin has above average eye appeal and originality but can see why some would be distracted. Perhaps a small hit on value but a much larger + for originality of the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 12:03 am I think the line takes away from the coin's eye appeal, but it is still a very attractive piece with original surfaces. As for the grade, I'll say XF-45. Congrats on such a nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 11:21 am Great looking coin even with that "line". Doesn't look like damage or a die break. Not sure what it is judging from these photos. AU-53 Report this Post to the Staff
