    I'm going to go out on a limb and say MS67*.

    Yup, looks to be in the 63-64 area. Slightly PL-don't know if enough to get designation.

    65+* is my guess. Nice coin!

    Super nice coin, rarely easy to GTG even with superb pictures! Could tell it had some killer eye appeal for sure.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 8,577 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If that’s a 67+ then those are horrible pictures and I’ve got a lot to learn about Morgans.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 8,577 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Is this just toning or grease on the face or is that a reeded hit?

  • ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 6,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Missed this but I would have been at 65+
    Please, please. please, polish the scratches out of that holder.

    Collector, occasional seller

    Here’s a zoomed shot from the NGC cert verification page ….. perhaps the grader got lucky that morning before work and was still feeling the afterglow? 😆😇 …. but it no doubt has some pop in-hand. Pretty piece.

    This pic makes it look like a 63

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 8,577 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is the purpose of GTG to throw you off with pics. To show how vastly wrong everybody is while basking in a glorious new pick up.
    Well done coin guy who likes to ski down a mountain naked and not afraid to tell it all. Well done.

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,451 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very hard to properly image that coin to guess the grade, it must be a real stunner in person.

  • gumby1234gumby1234 Posts: 5,571 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks much nicer in those last photos.

  • LeeBoneLeeBone Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Missed this thread, but I would have also missed the grade.
    Just goes to show(again) how hard it is to grade from only pics.

  • MarkInDavisMarkInDavis Posts: 1,706 ✭✭✭✭

    I think the holder is a bit beat up and that makes it look worse, but 67+ still seems a bit high to me. All the caveats about not seeing the coin in hand apply.
