Most of you were in the ball park so I figured no point in carrying it on.

    Easy 64, could be 65.

    Photo is not killing the luster it has a frosty surface.

    1. I suspect a lot of what we see is light luster grazes and not heavy marks. Strange obverse toning.

    I would grade it a 64, I suspect it was priced as a 66.

    Originally thought 63 but on closer look - Grades 62 IMO at best - Many Major marks obverse, primary focal areas. Just can’t call this a Ch Unc. Lol. Don’t like the toning either - darkish near obv top of coin. Will get darker as time goes on. Reverse nice.

    The neck looks like somebody tried to draw (the Devil?) on it. >:) The face lots hits / anybody think it may be a 61?

    I don't get it. What are you trying to convey?

    So, when he reveals the grade and you were wrong I, we, want an apology.

    If we were wrong, I will definitely apologize to you. All good.

    Now that reveal I guess my politically correct answer lol - it’s a C coin imo. Maybe it looks better in hand - good luck with it.

    So you laughed at everyone grading the coin for what is was before the reveal, and you thought it was a MS61, maybe 62. Guess we get the last laugh.

    Hmmmm, so I nailed it again. Maybe I have studied a few more Morgans than you. Just saying...

    There is no doubt you have seen more Morgan's than me. I do not profess to be smarter than anyone here. I collect for fun and enjoyment. Same with this forum.
    I like to see other people's coins.

    Great coin sir. Old canvas bag original toning, and you can tell it's got some nice frost to it. Nicely struck too!

    Looks well graded.

    On a bad day it could have 64'd, but not 61-62 imho.
