paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 1:58 pm Here's a recent acquisition of mine to give me a sanity check on my early attempts at grading. I'm thinking MS-63ish. I can't find any major flaws in the coin that would drop it significantly. In fact, holding it in my hand (gloved of course), it's really a beautiful coin.

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:24 pm when I look at mine, yours should go at least MS-64 most likely MS-65 Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:33 pm I agree with lafaa, it looks more like 64 or 65 if there is indeed no wear(tough to tell); and the value increases DRAMATICALLY at that point for this coin. I'd say it's worth sending in to a TPG in order to find out. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:36 pm my MS-64 morgan has ALOT more bag marks on it. I would bet it will come out as at least MS-65 Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:43 pm I think the marks in the field by the nose will keep it from MS-65. Still this coin is a beautiful MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 04/04/2010 2:33 pm The obverse is very nice, the reverse talons and breast feathers I would expect to be much better for an MS 64 grade, but the obverse is a small percentage of the overall grade.....I'll sit on the fence at MS63/64 Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/04/2010 2:54 pm Certainly a very strong strike. Pics are too small on my phone - will weigh in on grade when I can see it on my monitor in a half hour or so. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/04/2010 3:32 pm Ah. A much nicer coin on a 20" screen than on a 4" one. Assuming it's not AU58, I'm thinking a strong 64 with a shot at 65. Remember, though, that one-grade jump turns it from a $100 coin to a $700 coin; the TPG's will apply a strict standard before they create that kind of wealth. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 09:21 am im with aladin....more on 63 than 64 Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 5:32 pm I also think it has a shot at 65, fields are very clean. I disagree with MS-63 because it doesn't have any major contact marks in the focal points and is too clean for that in general. Report this Post to the Staff
