echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 10:08 pm If not for the rim damage and some deep scratches on the surface I'd say MS-65. I'd have to drop it down to MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 10:24 pm Too bad about the rim but if she grades I'd say MS64. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/04/2009 11:13 pm I've had this rascal for almost 20 years, it was my first really nice Morgan, and I never noticed the rim ding on the reverse! I reckon I was concentrating on the hair definition and breast feathers to see the rim. "Couldn't see the forest because of all the trees" Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/05/2009 08:05 am Looks nice; the rim ding won't kill the grade. Morgans slab fairly easily with rim dings because it's a given from knocking around in a bag - something this heavy will easily leave a rim ding it if hits another coin the right way. Maaaaaaybe MS64; more likely MS63 because the chatter in the field in front of the head is pretty prominent. Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 09:00 am I agree with SD, the rim ding would not bring the overall grade down. I would say its MS63 possible MS64. Great strike! Report this Post to the Staff
