a coin is not graded by it's best looking side, it is graded by it's worst looking side.


I'm not a TPG grader but I have to disagree with this statement from the standpoint that both sides are graded separately and if there is difference in grade its typically netted as each side has its own attributes unless one side is so far worse it cant be. I grade every coin in this manner

the reverse of this coin is MS64 all day and imo the obverse is MS62+. not that we can change the grade on this one but this coin should have been in a 63 holder. in fact the only thing we see is rub/abrasions and a few light scratches on the obverse so there can be an argument that the obverse is 63.

here is photogrades obverse. you can see all the scratches on the 62 unlike the OP example

Best of luck!

Will say, I'm also keeping an eye on that capped bust dime you have
Rest in Peace

For me a Morgan dollar can not be numerically graded above whatever the obverse grades. The reverse can only meet or exceed the obverse grade and not bump up the overall numerical grade. Again, this is just me personally.

Nice, and I do believe the grade as well .

@pristine2, sadly the 1821 capped bust 10c. Exceeded my $300 limit, though I'm surprised it didn't go a bit higher.
