JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 05/12/2020 10:45 pm Are 1901 Philly Morgans usually unattractive with poor strike? I have been searching awhile and what I am generally finding is poor strike and poor eye appeal , I should say in my AU53/55 price range. Am I just having bad luck ? Report this Post to the Staff

benv New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 05/12/2020 11:35 pm AU53 seems to have the worst luck for eye appeal, at least in my experience. AU55 is a bit better, but depending on the price increase you're probably better off saving a bit more and looking for an AU58 example. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/12/2020 11:49 pm 1901 is a rough date for AU and MS for Morgans. I have an Au53 1901 (ex PCGS) and it's not bad but even MS coins for 1901 are rough and dull.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 05/12/2020 11:50 pm Pretty huge jump in price at AU-58 for that date. Got to be patient to find the right mid-AU coin. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 12:10 am I'd agree that 1901 generally come flat and lifeless. I have a decent AU53 VAM3 Doubled reverse, but it's still only a flat gray silver with little to no luster, and the strike is only average. An exceptional 1901 Morgan will command an exceptional price. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
