Hello, I picked this CC Morgan up at a county auction. It was in the old black holder pictured. I've included a high-resolution scan of the coin along with a few photos. Where do you think it would grade? I see some frost on the raised portions. Unfortunately some dings along the rim and a few minor bag marks on the obverse. The reverse is nearly flawless. Thank you     |

An MS-64PL grade would not surprise me.  to the CCF! |

She also has a couple little nicks off her forehead. The rim dings are disappointing - couldn't see those in the auction photos.

I'm all in for MS-64.
The holder looks like from Capital Plastics.

Nice pick. I'd say solid MS-64, PL would have to be determined in hand. Most of the obverse hits to the cheek look relatively superficial and are accentuated by the frosty devices. Could have a shot at a higher grade if it weren't for the rim hits. |

Thank you all very much for your input. I'll think I'll send this one off for grading!

I've been collecting coints since Christmas morning 1979 when "Santa" gave me a beginner's coin collecting kit. Started with a handful of Morgans that my grandparents had squirreled away. Every Christmas they'd give me another (plus 1 each for my 2 sisters) and they all went into my collection. Now about 130 Morgans later I'm tracking down the last 13 years/mint marks that I need.

MS64, maybe 65 on a really good day. Not PL IMO. Nice coin!

First, Nice coin! I could see MS-64 here. The issue of a PL designation is tougher. That's not an easy call from photos. PCGS requires clear reflection in the obverse and reverse fields from 2"-4" away. The third photo suggests some clouding in the obverse fields that might reduce reflectivity. |
