I am a world-coin and NJ coppers guy, but started to dabble with nicer US coins. This is the third of a few that I just bought online and will post here for grading opinions. The surface of this coin is much brighter in person (not very reflective), but wanted to show the surface imperfections, so toned down the spot light sources on the electro-microscope.

Tough call. I'll say MS-61, possibly 62.

Textbook AU55 for me, some light but noticeable circulation, still has a decent amount of luster present. Really quite a nice example

Thank you. Hard to capture eye appeal like luster, because I wanted focus on the technicals to help in grading. Actual eye appeal may move the grade up a bit, unless this coin is About Uncirculated.
Based on the photo I posted, I tend to go MS-60, but based on in-person eye-appeal, it may be MS-61 ( a bit long shot). For educating myself, I will take photos focusing in on the high-points, to see if it's an AU grade. I believe I need to compare it to a confirmed MS-65 PCSG/NGC coin of the same year, in case of weak/sharp strikes.
I will also post a photo trying to capture what a real person would see looking at the coin without magnification and artificial ambient/spot lights (eye appeal).

NJcoppers. the 99(P) are known to be above avg to sharp strikes. this one is a little weak for the year. AU55 or MS61. I'm leaning AU side. the areas that stand out are from K4 to K8 obv which has the appearance of circulation as well as areas on the reverse where luster is gone. could be the photos but I can only see what the photos show.

I previously posted three Morgans for grading, and this is one of them. http://goccf.com/t/462984http://goccf.com/t/462982http://goccf.com/t/462979As promised, photos of the coin(s) showing the luster (or lack of) in daylight as if viewing them in-person (eye-appeal?). I tried my best, but I am not a photo-pro. I used only daylight/sun by the window. It does seem to hide some of the imperfections.   Edited by NJcoppers
