1891 And 1904 Morgans

Nice Morgans!The 1891 I agree AU58 because I see just a smudge of wear but the 1904 I'm going to have to disagree with you Rick because from what I see that is wear on the Hair and on the Eagles Breast.So AU55 for the 1904.But I maybe wrong. B12

[Usual caveat about grading from images...

Both years are characterized by weak strikes, but I gotta go along with the group on the 1891: AU-58. Even though I can't say the reverse shows any signs of wear if it's a weak strike, I don't think it would pass over into Mint State from the obverse.

The 1904: XF-45 at best. The breast feathers are just too worn for AU. With PCGS, it might even be XF-40.

From a financial aspect, their value at these grades would not necessarily justify the expense for grading. However, for a personal collection in which a professional opinion and encapsulation is desirable, then it would be worth it.

Hi Rick! I'm just checking in during a calm between storms... and highgrading my topics by Morgan threads. But, as always, it's great to be back even if only for a short time. But don't put me on too high a pedestal which might be made of crumbling particle board. After my last mauling by PCGS, I am feeling very insufficient these days with regard to Morgan grading. I spent this morning prepping my badly treated (by PCGS) Morgans to submit them in tomorrow's mail for Presidential Review at PCGS. I didn't know I had a 30-day deadline to make this type submission (my first Prez Review) until I happened to read the really, really fine print on the submission sheet. So, tomorrow is a special 50-mi round trip to the Post Office since, by the calendar, the 30th day is tomorrow. When I get the chance, I'll post this info and any updates in the 90CC and 91CC thread which is somewhere below.

Gotta run. I'm past the park's generator curfew.
