No wrong answers - just a nice 1889s that I picked up for my collection with pleasing skin and a decent bit of luster present.

What do you all think?

    AU50 to 53 depending on luster.

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    I like the look. Luster is a little muted and there's a little wear / circulation, but I think the color is a plus. Solid ChAU (AU55) coin

    Looks like a mid AU coin... cannot see the luster, so in hand evaluation could be more specific. Cheers, RickO

    AU57.

    Sorry folks, but I think anything less than 55 is too conservative. Edited to add: If not, would you settle for anything less than 53 is too conservative?😉

    AU50, I just cannot judge the luster when a coin is in a 2X2 like this.

  • scotty1419scotty1419 Posts: 928 ✭✭✭

    Thanks for all the comments. I tried a manual color focus to get honest color but I think it washed out some of the luster.

    In hand there's decent rim luster on the obverse around the 4-6 o'clock and again on 9-12 o'clock. On the reverse, it's pretty solid throughout.

    My best guess in hand:

    Obverse: 53-55
    Reverse: 55-58

    I'd think it gets AU 55 at PCGS.

    53 is too conservative - AU55 - any grade higher than that is reaching........
