I personally don't think I'd have graded this as high as NGC did so looking for opinons. Paid about $8 over Numismedia for it but if it looks as good in hand, I'll be happy. Thanks...   |

My guess from the pics is MS63PL or maybe MS64PL.

MS-62 PL too many contact marks to grade higher IMHO

Think Morgans and Peace are hard to grade when compared to slabbed coins that I have seen. Kid you not, I say the Morgan of CC mint that was in the BOTTOM of the bag and they threw that coin under the wheel of the cart to keep it level...and it was still an MS63.
So, I am going 63 on this one.

64PL sounds about right remember that a PL coin always shows more chatter due to the mirror surfaces

Here she is and thankx for your opinions. I woulda been with the MS62 crowd because of the dings; especially on the nose. I wasn't aware contact marks were exaggerated by a PL surface.  |

Seeing your smaller photo I can now see a 63....I really don't like enlarged photos as they really don't help with general grading all that much! Sometimes I see higher, or lower grades. As I've stated before I generally will never use magnification to buy or grade a coin, but hey, that's just me...Nice coin!

I'll guess MS-63PL. Oh, look, that's what they gave it!  Seriously, the contact that PL surface took, notwithstanding, there's still very good eye movement through that coin, and I like that grade they gave it. |
