fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3653 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 6:57 pm My favorite enigma in the entire Morgan series. How did a late (post-depression) date with comparatively low mintage avoid getting Pittmanned and have such a ridiculously high survivorship rate? (Two bags in Laverne Redfield's hoarder-house basement certainly helped the supply.) Most 1897 Morgans have an ugly gun metal gray appearance. Yours is eye-pleasing. I'm at MS-64 here. The scuffs on the chin and long NW-SE scratch on the cheek put the obverse in the MS-63-64 range. The reverse has some light rim dings, two contact marks east of the arrowheads, and a healthy scar on the eagle's breast. The reverse is consistent with MS-64. I think the light frost and nice luster eye-appeal it to MS-64. I like this one. Fair price for a decent 1897. Report this Post to the Staff
