numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 10:05 pm $67. #28 of 40 acquired recently. Recently I purchased 40 slabbed Morgan dollars (36 ANACS, 3 PCGS and 1 ICG) and will post one a day alongside one Peace dollar. I paid an average of $67 for the 40 coins. This time I will post the grade of the coin 2 days after and this time we can compare our grades with those of TPGs. Thoughts? Thanks!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 01/29/2026 12:48 pm The divot on the lower cheek/jaw and the edge knock on the neck are the issues. The rest of the obverse contact marks look like MS-63, and by itself the reverse would make MS-64. Without those dings, you would be looking at MS-63+ here. As 1886 Morgans go, this one is decent, and it's better struck than many of them. IMHO, PCGS would detail this one because of the metal movement on the cheek from the deep hit. I believe the other TPGs would straight grade this as MS-63 because the hit is relatively small, though deep. On a bourse floor, I see this one trading as MS-63 raw, but with an eye appeal price adjustment for the cheek ding. EDIT: MS-62+ is a rare bird these days, but this one could be called that, as well as being an adjusted price MS-63. I can't remember the last MS-62+ Morgan that I actually handled. It's been a while. Edited by fortcollins 01/29/2026 12:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 01/30/2026 10:56 am ANACS called this a 64 and I agree. There is very little chatter on the cheek and throughout the coin. Nice luster. Solid 64 for me.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 02/06/2026 10:24 am pretty nice for a 86 which can be pretty banged up. the revers is very nice and a solid MS65 obv MS63 so MS64 is the correct net grade Report this Post to the Staff
