    Well, at least you know it probably hasn't been dipped.image The toning isn't what I would really call "attractive". However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.image

    My guess would be AU the scan isn't the best and my monitor isn't the best either

    The stuff around the stars is just grime and residue from over the years. This date and mintmark is common with a weak strike from what I've seen. I can't really tell about the strike on this coin because there's some blurry spots on the picture. The breast feathers on the reverse look pretty well struck, in my opinion.

    KlectorKid- thats toning not "grime and residue" although probably not a bad description for that type of toningimage. mikeimage

    Looks like someone cleaned the dirt off of it. I can't tell if it left hairlines.
    It looks like a nice ms- but some of the picture seems fuzzy like it was shot thru plastic or something.
    Is it in a slab?

    If those marks by the mouth are staple scratches I'll give it 62. Otherwise 63 or maybe 64.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I know it's toning, but sometimes you'll see dirt and grime around the raised areas.

    I came across a dozen 84-0's in very very brilliant condition, particularly the backs. The only flaws I see on these is some scratches on the faces, but I would call these minor. I will have to try scanning these as I would like to get an opinion of how these might possibly grade.

    darktone, if you don't mind my asking, what did this set you back?

    Between the toning and the nature of the scan, very hard to say. Probably 63; maybe 64.
    I collect circulated U.S. silver

    I paid $27. I like the original look of it and it has a nice strike. I don't usually buy morgans these days but this one just caught my eye.image mike
