McFinn New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 3:58 pm Been looking through some more of these Morgans I came into and this one has darker toning and what looks like a stripe across the middle on the reverse. Thoughts on this one? Still working on how to take decent photos... Report this Post to the Staff

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 7:36 pm I agree, and apparently just a worn 85 Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 7:42 pm Was probably in a small stack of coins with a strap holding them together. I don't think it's a problem coin. AU-50 perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 8:53 pm Agree with others that something was wrapped over the top of this one. Fingerprints on the reverse are distracting. AU53 Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 11/04/2021 11:41 pm AU-58 I can't see any wear because the toning is heavy. Plenty of detail left, and I think this easily makes a high AU or even MS. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 11:48 am net AU50. finger or palm prints on reverse along with that strip and overall eye appeal and surface preservation will reduce the grade. not even sure it would grade straight Report this Post to the Staff
