Trying to pick out the good ones from my haystack. Lighting on the pics is not the best. Both are bright white and frosty. Full luster     |

If both are indeed white and lustrous than at a minimum MS64 on the pair, I like the lower example better, no stain on the reverse. I don't like the photos and would need to see these in hand before making a purchase. I would not be a buyer from seeing only these photos at all.
They show little marks at all could even see up to a MS66 on them. But I have a sneaky feeling something is going on we can't see with them, that leaves me to be suspect also and leery of giving such a high grade to them.
This is coming from someone that has sorted out a few original bags of uncirculated Morgans in the past.

I'd like to see additional pics with different lighting. Little luster showing here.

MS64+
MS65
But I agree with @Coinfrog with the lack of lustre on these images.

Yes both are very nice 65s for me and yes better pixs might bump them up the second one

Here is a date you would want to check out on vamworld.com since there are 5 wow vams, and perhaps other special vams as well.

please post only one coin per thread.
luster is not presenting well on all of these photos so I'm assuming its all there
looks like a finger or palm print on #1 obverse K6/K7. I'm at MS64 on this one
MS65 on #2

I'm guessing I mistook the weak strikes for wear.

I'll get some better pics. I've been on the "how to take better pics thread".
Thanks for the comments.

The photos are tough here. From what I can see, both look mid-UNC. Neither looks PL. I wonder if the lack of apparent luster suggests overdipping or is just the lighting conditions for the pics?
Purely from a technical grading perspective, the top coin looks MS-65 obverse/MS-64 reverse, net MS-64+. The bottom coin seems to be a bit nicer, and looks MS-65. Depending on how they look in hand, either coin could eye appeal +/- 0.5. It's just not possible to get closer with the pics.
Nice coins, regardless. They are certainly worth closer examination.

@ fortcollins...coins were inherited from his Great Grand Aunt (if I remember correctly) who was a bank employee back in the day, so I doubt they were ever dipped. Also glad to see you back...Vacation? Edited by Greasy Fingers

Quote:coins were inherited from his Great Grand Aunt (if I remember correctly) who was a bank employee back in the day Ahhh, I didn't catch the thread with the backstory. Not dipped then, definitely just the pics. Quote:
Also glad to see you back...Vacation? Nope. A long and detailed honey-do list.  |
