Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/04/2022 10:22 pm I'd be quick to call that 1897 AU as well. It exhibits a weaker strike than yours does, so tougher to judge high points, but sure looks lightly circulated to me. Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2286 Posts	Posted 11/04/2022 11:05 pm Now we're cooking with gas folks! Jaobler- That appearance in the left field doesn't automatically preclude a coin from MS. I've seen countless Morgan dollars exhibit this same look. TY- I commend you for transparency and venturing out!

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 08:40 am after looking at the OP coin more I think it could be ms63. The eye/cheek area looked like wear at first but I can see this being ms63 the details are all there and sharp so ill change my quick guess grade of 55 to a ms63rb after actually taking the time to look at the coin. nice indian Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 09:48 am took a longer look at this one. my original grade was AU58 or MS62 the strike is there on both sides I'm not seeing any erroneous marks or scratches the two areas I key on for wear on the reverse is the outline of the shield and the highest points of the middle area of the bow on the obverse the tops of the letters on the headband and the ribbon(diamond) area. I am not seeing anything on these points to indicate circulation. looks like lighter obv strike. you are going to see what looks like wear on the high points of the feathers on MS coins so one cant just look at that i think what holds this back on this one is the discoloration of the surfaces particularly on the profile and left field. for these reasons I think it holds the coin to MS62RB heres an MS62 example that shows what I'm talking about Edited by panzaldi 11/05/2022 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 9:23 pm @panzaldi are those hits on the cheek ,neck, above the eye and field in front of the bust if so thats what would hold it from being higher grade IMO. all nice coins Report this Post to the Staff
