Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 01/13/2023 2:12 pm Hey! I believe this is an eight feather 1878 morgan my friend has. Would love to see how you would grade it! Let me know if I'm incorrect about the 8 feather evaluation! Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 09:38 am first thought AU55. coin may have been wiped with something to put those horizontal marks across the profile. Report this Post to the Staff
Wideglide Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 1:01 pm AU Details. It does look cleaned with all the hairline scratches going in the same direction. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 1:25 pm Overall that is a nice 1878 8TF! I would say it could grade mid AU.Very nice details with only a bit of wear! It does look like it has been rubbed. If the previous owner kept it in his pocket where it could have been scratched by wood chips, etc., that could be the cause of the light scratch marks. They probably happened at the same time which has brought folks to believe that it's been cleaned. Definitely a keeper! Edited by dsking 01/14/2023 1:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
