Here's another one. I seem to have gotten the Morgan bug. Would appreciate your opinions on grade. The toning looks a lot more attractive in hand. To my eye, doesn't look as if it's been cleaned but...just a newbie. Thanks.  |

definately NOT AU 58.....not 50, not quite 55, 53 looks correct.....the eagles breast is rounded, not full, nor is it flat....rounded but not full...53 looks about right, mind you the OBV is most of the grading...AU for sure from the hair wear, and cotton boll's

Remember Sidekick, if you send this coin in to be graded, that PCGS is like a box of chocolates............ |

Lack of luster typically means two things: It is not mint state or it has been over dipped which gives a coin a dull look. Either way, buyer beware.

I really like this coin I think I'd pay AU-55+ bucks for it even if nobody else thinks it is that nice. Obverse is remarkably free of contact marks and the wear is just ever so slight. Reverse is weaker but who ever looks at Reverse of a Morgan? Not the TPG's from what I've seen in slabbed coins... No feathers? No problem... |
