Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 12/05/2024 2:34 pm The big reveal: I would have called this AU from these auction house photos, but it likely looks completely different in hand. 1887 Morgan dollars double in price from MS64 to MS65. I'm not sure I'd pay MS65 money for this example, especially from the pictures. Thank you all for your thoughts.

I often associate that with wear I would say it is a very weak strike. Although the coin may technically be a 65, it seems that eye appeal was not considered. I can't do an in-hand evaluation since it is for sale at GC, but I don't see any redeeming qualities that could merit a gem grade. With all my opining about market grading, it looks like this one went through PCGS differently?

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 12/14/2024 10:20 am the limited marks and scratches keep it out of AU but I don't know how they can give this one a 65 with very little luster. maybe its the photos subduing it. but if it looks like this in hand I would not be a buying at 65 prices. to me it looks like an old over dip that has re-toned but most of the luster was stripped off.
