Here’s one more Morgan that spent 15+ years in the Meghrig album that I submitted at the last Long Beach show. What grade do you think PCGS gave it?
PCGS gave it a 61, I was expecting at least a 63

Are those die polishing lines on the reverse? My eyes are shot since its midnight here.

64 please update us in 6 months
No need to wait, PCGS turned it around in just a few days more than one month. They gave it a 61. I was expecting it to get at least a 63 though. I’m not sure what they saw that made them go so low
Mr_Spud
FWIW, I was thinking 62 shot 63. I went with 63 because the strike is excellent for an O mint, and thought it deserved a grade bump for that. But, I think the reason for 61 by PCGS is subdued luster and numerous, albeit small, contact marks on the obverse.
Photos can be fairly accurate or under or over emphasize contact marks and other features of the coin. I took this photo and turned up the exposure and contrast. This does Not indicate that the coin looks like this photo either but shows how the photo 'look' of the coin can change. I think 61 is low but that is a guess from photos.

Just goes to show how photos can show a coin in such a different way depending on lighting, angle shot, and so on.
