One of the few slabbed Morgan's I own as I'm not a big Morgan fanatic. You vs PCGS.....48 hrs begins now.  |

To me, it's no better than VF-30, but I'm guessing PCGS rated it EF-40.

Not good at these, but I'll say VF25

Just enough meat left on the bone to make F-15 to these tired old eyes!

I'll go with VF-35.
So, at the end of 48hrs the person with the closest guess gets the Morgan?

It's pretty much a straight-up no-problem VF-30, and a solid coin for the grade. The obverse is slightly weaker than a true VF-30, especially at the cotton blossoms and the hair at the forehead and over the ear. The curls, cap, and bear claws are spot on for VF-30. The reverse is very slightly sharper than a true VF-30, especially the detail on the wings. It looks like an old cleaning, but definitely market acceptable. On balance, it's a really nice VF-30.
I've seen similar coins of various dates undergraded by PCGS in older slabs, so I wouldn't be shocked by VF-25 on this coin. IMHO, that would be an undergrade.

I have it at VF20 obverse and VF30 reverse so let's split it and call it a nice problem free VF25!

This one received F15. I had it at VF20, possibly VF25. Apparently PCGS did not feel the same. Don't have the coin back from PCGS yet to post a slab pic but here's the sub.  |
