It's actually not too worn around the words on the reverse (my bad pics make it look like it its.) I'll try taking some better pics later when my camera is charged.

The usual qualifier: I haven't yet looked at the other responses.

This is a toughie since the images are a little too bright to make out complete detail. I believe this Morgan has been cleaned as evidenced by the dirt remaining inside the letters, the residual of dirt inside some of the letters where it appears someone took a toothpick to clean them out, and in some of the other recesses. That said, without the possible cleaning and trying to see through the reflections, I'm gonna go with VF-35 to EF-40. A key grading point is the Eagle's breast feathers which appear to be present to some degree (but not fully measurable) as best I can make out through the reflection thus taking it above the VF-30 level. Liberty's hair above her ear and forehead are worn enough to take it below AU and mid-EF ranges, but not excessively so. Otherwise, except on Liberty's chin (old rim contact mark) and on her cheek, the coin is generally free of serious detracting marks.

I see it's in a holder, but that won't mean much unless it's a top TPG which I don't believe it is (could be NGC, but I'm fresh out of NGC slabs with which to compare).

Now to see what the others have said.

Fred

OK, it's just in a generic holder. That would account for the reflection. Fengk, if you can post pics of the Morgan out of the holder, that would help. I'll stick with VF-35 for now.

I see it as VF30. This could change with better pics. As it appears now, it looks like there is a fair amount of wear in the hairlines and on the eagle.

Looks like it has been cleaned. I will go with VF-30.

Looks VF-35 or 40 to me. I love the tone.

Take Care
