Last one for now. Again: NOT my coin. What grade do you think this one got from PCGS?   |

Good strike, attractive surface quality, MS-65 for me.
EDIT: I change my mind, MS-64 final answer!!

Are the grading guidelines different for these older dollars?
A Morgan in this condition would be XF or AU at best, right?
No luster left and clear signs of some wear?
(I apologize for any cluelessness in above question/statement!)

Jeez, I'll go with 64 as well, but I'm pretty clueless on something like this.

I like the look on this one more than I do the 1799/8 and the 1802, but PCGS called it AU(58)+. I can dream, can't I? The 1800 Dotted Date one is the only one with real visible luster.

No experience grading coins this early but I would say Choice Unc.

To be honest, these coins have to be evaluated in hand. The TruView pics make it harder to see flaws. A lot of bust coinage make it into MS holders, but are actually AU.
