Thoughts on grade much appreciated! Disclaimer, these are seller's pics and I'm thinking about buying. Morgans aren't my specialty so I'm looking for your opinions. tia.

I'll say AU-55, pretty beat up with a nasty gouge on the neck. I'd be wary of this one.

Well it's got a nasty neck gouge and many small nicks and scratches, but it does seem to have good lustre still. I would maybe say MS60 but would need a few better photos from the seller.

EDIT: MS60 on the high end of things, the gouge is pretty deep, poor lady.

Looks like a dipped AU+ to me. Unless it's a special VAM then it's a low value piece. I wouldn't pay over $30 for it.

Thanks for the feedback you 3. There are 10 Morgans for $300. I think it's a good deal but I'm going to pass. If you want the auction info, PM me.

MS-60. That long gouge on the neck might details it.

Pretty beat up. Looks UNC, but photos are too small to make a better evaluation.

MS-60

This date is fairly common in high grades so I would look for a better example.

the strike is a little weak for a 78(S). she's pretty banged up and the trench on the obverse will pull a details designation. Unc details
