Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/22/2006 07:56 am hmm, this one is a tough one. The lamp you are using is (I am guessing here) a regular light bulb which is causing the coin to look goldish and its kind of throwing me off on this one. I am going to go out on a limb here and say MS-64 and it may go down a grade or two from that because of the weakness around the ear on the hair on this one (which unlike the O morgans isn't general practice for P minted coins). But dont get discouraged because of my grade because I could be way off on this one, I will let superdave,metalman,morganman help out with this one because they are alot better at spotting certain things that I overlook. But it could be a weak strike because I dont see any wear anywhere else besides right there over the ear so I guess I will just have to hide and watch to see what they say when they chime in Edited by Bryan1315 06/22/2006 07:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 06/22/2006 08:11 am Actually,I believe the 1887P was a weakly struck coin for the most part. Which is unusual for most Philly minted Morgans,1887 being an exception.There are some contact marks on the reverse above the left wing and on the face of the obverse.I would say MS63/64. I would like to hear what Morganfred has to say. Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 06/23/2006 01:46 am Yup I agree,there is weakness in the hair which won't bring the grade down that much.No lower than MS63 IMO. B12 Edited by B12 06/23/2006 01:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/23/2006 12:07 pm The lighting makes the coin appear polished - assuming that's a photographic artifact, I might get on board with a weak 64. More likely 63. Grading from a photo is tough, even when they're this clear. Report this Post to the Staff
