She's taken some hits, but she's still kinda pretty, I think.

Question one: How do you think she fared at PCGS?
Question two: What will she sell for? (She goes up on ebay tomorrow.)

The reverse is nice, but her face is all busted up. I'll say MS-62. For a multi-day auction, I think this will bring $362.84.

Obverse MS-62, reverse MS-63+/MS-64. Net MS-63, barely. No clue what will happen on ebay. It would be in the upper $200s on a bourse floor.

I'll say MS62, PCGS may have said MS63.

Price, I think it will hover right around $325

the 99(P) should be sharp and bold so from a strike standpoint this one is below average. luster is broken across cheek. reverse surface preservation is above average obverse too much for a 64 and a little better than a 62 as the marks/abrasions are more superficial. I think it would grade at MS63. probably in the $350-400 range retail

Seems a bit harsh, but opinion has been pretty evenly split on this one.

Doesn't PCGS give more weight to the obverse of a Morgan dollar than the reverse? If so, then I can see why they give it a MS62. Although I think the grade is still a bit harsh overall.

NumisEd, a coin is not graded by it's best looking side, it is graded by it's worst looking side. For example, if the obverse of a coin graded MS-63 and the reverse MS-68, the coin is still an MS-63. Morgans usually have the obverse as the side with the most contact marks, therefore it tends to get scrutinized more than the reverse.
