Pics too dark to see surface details clearly.

Certainly no better. @ns, why do you bother with dime-a-dozen coins like these?

I feel like I've answered this same question multiple times for you. The same reason why I eat baloney sandwiches once in a while. I love them. I love morgans and I love U.S. coins in general. They don't have to be exhorbitantly expensive for me to like them. This particular coin looks to have clean mirror-like fields.

That's certainly not clear in these pics, I'm sure you would agree.

Clear enough for me to make the decision to buy this coin.

Its hard to say maybe MS-61 or 62 based on the cheek?

The appeal of this raw example from these pics is beyond me.

MS63 tops for me. I think the mirrored effect is the angle and lighting. May be shot through plastic. Maybe semi PL, if that, thought to judge with these pics.

OK back to the old NS and Cfrog banter...

I can see the mirrored fields in the 1st photo, cheek area and bad photos puts me in at 62 maybe 63

strike is correct for this year. obverse photo is a little out of focus making it a little difficult to determine surface preservation. the cheek on this one could be clean with only rub or could have enough marks/scuffs to effect the grade several points. this is also true of the field in front of the profile. there also may be some marks to the left of the eagle on the field. this will be one that I would like to see updated photos when received. could be anywhere between MS63 and MS64

The reverse fields are nice but that cheek scrape kills it for me. MS63
