jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 2:21 pm I would not have thought about this being burnt... looks like just album toning. This coin appears proof-like, the fields appear as mirrors. What are the "hairlines" pictured on the reverse. Are those to do a plastic holder it was in, or ...? You can see them spanning from ONE to ICA. Depending on what those marks are, I would hesistate at 64, feel more comfortable with 63. Jordan Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 3:02 pm Very nice, well struck 1885-O. With better luster than most.I would say MS63 possibly MS64,if it was not for the one deep hit on the cheek I would say a strong MS64.No sure about the fine lines on the reverse either.Looks like it might be marks in the toning from removing it from whatever it was stored in.

ChristinaM Pillar of the Community United States 547 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 3:27 pm Jordan, Those hairlines are ON the coin. That is what is bothering me about this one. Here's a closeup: Image: 1885sc.jpg 77.41 KB Edited by ChristinaM 08/31/2006 3:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 3:37 pm Hmmm.. I wouldn't suspect it from cleaning, which is where most hairlines are from. Do you know what this coin was stored in? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 3:45 pm What do I think? I think I like it. MS64 in my book, with the nice strike offsetting the cheek marks. Report this Post to the Staff
ChristinaM Pillar of the Community United States 547 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 3:58 pm When I bought it, it was in a cardboard 2x2, but prior to that I have no idea. My coin dealer just purchased a large collection of Morgan's from someone and the this is the way the coin was received by him (I know that for sure because I was also there when he happened to be appraising this collection). SuperDave...I'm glad you like it. I got a couple more where this one came from ~christina Report this Post to the Staff
scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 08/31/2006 4:24 pm Sharp strike for almost any morgan really exspecially the reverse IMHO. I would agree with TLS the lines appear to be in the toning to me. I would say Ms-64 very nice fields except for a few hits Report this Post to the Staff
