Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 11:35 pm So this coin isn't actually mine. My good friend asked me to look through a collection his grandparents gave him, and this was found in the last box mixed with a bunch of world coins. Now, to me this looks like an easy MS66 with very eye appealing toning, and the cheek and eagle are surprisingly clean of hits/nicks, but I don't have nearly enough experience grading Morgans as I should, so thanks for the input in advance!

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 7:43 pm I'm having a difficult time trying to read these images. Any call on grade would be a pure guess. Heck, I'm not even sure those are fingerprints......the way they cross the neck, almost appears like it may have picked up the pattern of whatever the coin was resting against. Interesting, and would love to see some different images. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 7:49 pm I'll qualify my 66 grade as a wild, unsubstantiated guess. Edited by Coinfrog 06/08/2020 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
