VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 5:21 pm I haven't bought a Morgan for a long time until now. What do you think about the grade on this one? Paid $45 for it so I hope I did good. Its also my first New Orleans-minted coin, so It also has 2 die cracks, one running from the O in "One" to the "U" in "United", and another running from N in "United" to the first S in "States" (the first crack and the part of the second crack from N to E doesn't show on the pic) Report this Post to the Staff

Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 6:29 pm My guess would be MS62/3. With the hits on the cheek I don't the grade could be any higher. The photo is a little unclear so with the coin in hand it might look and grade differently. Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 10:51 pm Luster looks incomplete in the fields so I am going to lean toward AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 11:39 pm I'm going to say high AU. Not a bad strike for an O mint coin, either. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 12:59 am I agree with AU-58 for this one but could slide as high as MS-62 if luster is unbroken Report this Post to the Staff
greghansen Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 02:29 am I will go with 63. Much closer to 62 than 64. Could be an AU slider, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt from the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
murty Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 5:31 pm Since the O mints are weak I would go MS-62 Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 11:25 pm Thanks guys. The coin in hand has complete cartwheels on both sides, but not strong cartwheels (not weak either). According to Numismedia AU-58 is $41, MS-62 is $55, and MS-63 is $78. If its AU, I didn't do too bad. MS 62/63, then I got a nice deal. Whatever the case, I still really like this coin Report this Post to the Staff
