Beautiful coin! I think it's a proof. If not it's one of the nicest DMPL Morgans around.
PF65CAM.

I don't know how to take the pics without the flash showing up on the coin.
Turn off the flash.  Tremendous coin. There's a "dimple" southeast of the mouth which identifies it as a Proof - only one set of Proof dies was used that year and they all have it. As a Proof, you gotta hold a stricter grading standard, and I will estimate it at PR65. |

 Thanks for all of the comments. Everyone graded it higher. Do you think there is a chance for an upgrade? |

Do you think there is a chance for an upgrade? Hard to say. Proof grading is much more exacting than business-strike grading; the factors which caused PCGS to grade it so low might not be visible in the photographs. They're tough on Proofs. Even though over a thousand 1883 Proofs were struck, many were spent in the Panic of 1893 resulting in a lot of Circulated Proofs on the market. It's more rare than the mintage would suggest, and you can expect PCGS to be stingy with the grade. |

Wow you know so much about these coins SuperDave. Do you know how many uncirculated coins are left? What is the most affordable morgan proof?
