    Looks like solid strike and nice detail, I'll go out on a limb and say MS66. Nice coin

    ^ Me too. I'm thinking 67.

    1. Looks like it was dipped years ago and is starting to tone again nicely.
  • bramn8rbramn8r Posts: 875 ✭✭✭✭✭

    if it was my submission it would be "cleaned AU Details", pretty sure your coin is 66 or better. Beautiful coin.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 8,975 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That coin is still smokin'
    Strike looks a lil weak so I'll go 67+

  • lermishlermish Posts: 3,313 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I really like it but see a couple of small chin scratches and a jawbone scratch. 65

    I’ll guess 66+. An MS67 wouldn’t surprise me, but anything below 66 would shock me. Grade aside, that’s a beauty.

    I think she's gorgeous! Man, they're really tough on these. Is it weak strike? Because everything else is on point.

    Edit: I guess when you get in there closer there are some hits, but dang.

  • Eldorado9Eldorado9 Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @mfeld Nice endorsement Mark. She sure looks 66+ to me too. @Coinscratch kind words! Yeah not much to dislike there!

  • cameonut2011cameonut2011 Posts: 10,169 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Before I saw the reveal, my first thought was 66.

    Late to the party, but I was thinking 67.

    Late also, but one of the first offered for GTG that I actually thought was a 67. Great toning on a super clean coin.

    No 1896 quarter thread is complete without a pic of Eugene Gardner's MS-67+ coin...Enjoy.

    Interesting how that works, yes the strike is stronger here and the plus is for the color. But overall aside from the strike your coin has better luster and fewer hits.

    That was a fast reveal!

    Well said Coinscratch. I agree with your assessment.

  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 24,451 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The photos of the 1896 (MS-66) are overexposed, making comparison with the MS-67+ difficult. It would not surprise me if the MS-66 actually looks just as good or better in-hand.

    Disagree button! I'm sure it looks good in hand but...The cheek/bust looks flat or luster looks muted. The reverse shield looks beat up. Anyway though, isn't the strike the highest percentage of a grade?

    Nope. If I recall correctly, 60% surface condition, 15% strike, 15% luster/color, 10% "eye appeal".

    Edit: There is a bar chart somewhere but this should get the idea across.

    I was expecting to find a coin drenched in color when I opened this thread and was surprised to see one as white as I did. However, it appears obvious (at least to me) that while the coin is only lightly toned, it appears to have a thick, complete skin on it. I'd guess this coin radiates luster in-hand even under the intact surfaces. It is very pretty.

    I was going to go with 64 because of the marks on the cheek. Otherwise it's stunning.
    Maybe I'm used to how they grade morgans.

    Late to the game here... beautiful piece! I'd have been in the 65+/66 camp... pretty big price difference.

    Wow! I wasn't expecting that! FWIW, my grade was at least 66 as there were almost no marks in the fields. Really nice coin.

    I think that a Morgan with a cheek like that would still grade a minimum of 65+.

    I'm liking it even more with the cell phone pictures. It might be worth a regrade.

    It's for sure nicer and exhibits that rich, deep luster!

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,630 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Great coin with really clean fields and booming luster. The rim toning is nice and there are no spots. 66 doesn't surprise me at all.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is a really nice coin... Lots of luster, I was debating between 65 and 66, and then the reveal showed up - so I will say MS66 :D:D Cheers, RickO

    In hand it's a white coin, with tons of luster...I thought you would like that one. Thanks Buddy.
