Need some opinions on grade/toning. Note the front toning that appears dark is actually an azure blue didn't quite capture it in the photo. No obvious marks on obv or rev.   |

I don't see any marks at all. MS-64 or -65 as best as I can tell by the pictre... and beautiful toning by the way!

sorry....I don't mean to be rude... its rediculous to give a grade to a coin thats out of focus were no
true detail can be seen/...grade?
I hope your not trying to represent a grade to sell.. with poor pictures....

It's tough to grade any coin based on photos IMO. Your Morgan looks unc, maybe MS63 or higher. The toning is beautiful. Try to get better photos (your photographic skills are already better than mine). If it hasn't been said already...  |

From the pics provided the coin looks 64. The left side of the obverse is a concern because it may have been wiped or lightly cleaned.
Nice toning on the reverse.

No not selling I have had a roll of these 1882's, similar grade, for about 30 years and was debating whether to get them slabbed might not becworth the expense unless the are gem.

Left side of the obverse looks cleaned - I see that. Luster is gone and you see all the darkness (dirt?) around the stars in a difficult to clean spot, plus diagonal lines that abut this region that look like the edge of where the cloth was.

Need clearer and a bit large images to be able to say.

It is difficult to tell from the photos. The coin more than likely falls into the 62-64 range but I hope you update your photos so we can be more accurate. Try taking one from an angle, that might highlight the marks that we need to see

Tough to say with the photos. If you can re-post better ones I will take a stab.

Note the toning on left OBV shows luster when the coin is moved back and forth and is a green/blue'ish hue transparent not black

hmmm. this one has me stumped. something just seems off to me.  I'll crack at 58 or 64. If it is unc, I dont think it could go over 64. I'm puzzled because the luster seems off and weird IMO...but there doesn't seem to be any marks of interest. How was this coin stored? |

My grandmother got these from a bank roll back in the 1930's presumably UNC since they don't show traces of wear. I got them in the 1970's and kept them in non-PVC flips since then.

Here is another one from the same roll they are all similar condition - virtually no marks but luster is a bit flat.   |
