Sidekick-CA Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 7:42 pm Waltzed in the door today from another CCF member who put it at MS63. I agree on the technical grade but the eye appeal when up front and personal is impressive. Great luster on the obverse and the reverse is SPL in my opinion with golden toning. Where would you put it? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 8:11 pm Beautiful-nice coin, lots of luster, but there seems to be a large scratch above IN GOD WE TRUST Edited by rachums107 06/06/2011 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 8:17 pm My guess would be MS61/62. Too many hits on the fields and face. The toning appears to be residue from a poorly rinsed coin that has been dipped. I'm no expert but I have experimented on a few junk silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 9:15 pm I'm seeing some hairlines so I think it has been wiped. Details look MS-63 to me. Report this Post to the Staff

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 12:52 am This coin is a classic "slider" IMHO...Wear on the cheek, also many short parallel hairlines in field . I've seen hundreds if not thousands that resemble this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 08:52 am I think the strike details for this O mint coin are pretty good. The face is not that bad really. Those reverse scratches have me wondering if more than just a quick dip/whiz. Like mentioned, typical look for these coins. Overall 62 Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 06/09/2011 5:17 pm I am aware O Morgans have strike issues but I think this one is reasonably struck but has some rub. I'll go with AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
