Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 12/08/2019 6:27 pm Since I missed that it was a proof a few months ago, I'll take another stab at it and say PR-64 straight. Report this Post to the Staff
Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 12/08/2019 6:38 pm Hint: It is a proof and it straight graded. I have trouble grading proofs, that's why I like your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

NDBirdman Pillar of the Community United States 747 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 4:16 pm 66 but looks like someone used a cloth to wipe it. Report this Post to the Staff
Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 9:37 pm I expected at least MS 63. Either I am still not very good with proofs or it was under graded. Report this Post to the Staff

smoke1439 Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/10/2019 07:45 am From the pictures I would think 63. Maybe we are not seeing something. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 12/10/2019 09:38 am I think the obverse dull areas (based on the photos) may have contributed to the 62 grade vs a 63 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 12/11/2019 11:28 pm Quote: Are those hairlines common in Morgan proofs In the 60-63 range they are. The surfaces on these coins are so delicate that even the slightest mishandling will cause hairlines. The large fields on the Morgans often make them look worse than they actually are. The same is true for DMPL coins. Report this Post to the Staff
KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 12/11/2019 11:57 pm Seems a bit strict on the Morgan grading considering the pf64 coins from other coin types I see, but I don't get paid to grade coins either. Beautiful coin specimen regardless. If it is true they were known to wipe them down at the mint after the coining process then that's too bad seeing that they are delicate like that. Thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff
