Christian18 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 11:45 pm I'm considering grading one of my nicer Morgan dollars, an 1878 7tf reverse of 1879. It has very nice luster and fairly nice toning but a heavier ding on the reverse and some light chatter on both sides. I'm thinking MS62 possibly MS63 and ebay and PCGS have those grades in the $250-$300 range. Any advice is appreciated since I'm not super comfortable grading yet. P.S. I think the pictures came out a little flat so I can upload more if it will help. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 08:57 am That sounds right. Not much luster, but I don't see any wear. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 10:00 am these girls are typically sharp and bold. I'm not seeing a typical strike here especially on the eagle. subdued and missing luster on both sides. fields are a little marked up and eye appeal is less than average. imo MS62 and AU58 would not surprise me.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 12:46 pm MS62 with a shot at 63 seems right. Images can be a challenge when taken through mylar. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 1:08 pm I also say MS62. I really don't see any luster in these photographs. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 4:42 pm I am sorry to say, but with those new pics it looks like the coin was dipped in Tarn-X. I now have to say MS-Details, cleaned. Edited by NumisEd 02/14/2021 4:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
