I'd call that a decent deal if the coin grades out. There's very darn little chatter in the fields and with a clearer look at the obverse I could almost support the idea it's high-end for 64.
Do you by chance have a scanner, w1a9c8k5? This is an ideal time for images which take color and luster (or lack thereof) completely out of the picture so we can consider the strict technical merits of the coin.

I don't think $55 is alot for this coin. That's just my rookie opinion. Besides, at the rate silver has been going up, that coin may be worth the $55 in silver alone very soon....lol

The coin certainly looks ms64 to me. NO Morgans were struck with less pressure than the other mints to try and make the dies last longer, so the grading has to take this into consideration. The toning gives the coin an original, unique look that at least to me keeps it from looking like the thousands of dipped and stripped blast white coins out there. I kind of like it.  |

I have taken to the advice of J.H. Cline......do not buy if you don't agree with the holder. I know you didn't see if beforehand though.....

$55.00 was a great price for an MS-64 slabbed coin. You can't find a common date MS-63 in any of the three top TPG services for under $65.00 now. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

I would have said that in no wasy was an MS64, no way. But after reading some of the explanations
on this thread it is a good thing I kept my mouth shut. I must say there are some very sharp people
on this site. Ed you seemto know your stuff.
