My New 92-CC Morgan

Any help on possible grading? My scanning is not good, but the reverse is DMPL - absolutely perfect image on a mirror finish - the obverse - no where near as nice.


It'll be here in a minute.

editeed to add: grrrrrr! File too big! Back to the drawing board!

  • let's try this:

    there appears to be a dark spot on the reverse scan left of center - not on the coin.

    hi, the mint luster never does show very well on most pictures, and its a little hard to tell from this one, but from what i can tell, the coin appears to have a gray cast to it, a tell tale sign of being dipped. and or cleaned, i would be very careful.

    Looks nice. If its not dipped it looks 65 in the picture.
    To the right and below the bonnet there looks like two marks are they craters or hits?
  • the two marks are surface nicks. I tend to believe it has not been dipped due to the vast disparity from front to back. The front has good luster. The reverse is mirror finish with the relief truly appearing to be placed on a mirror. I have got to get this scanning down.

    Brian:

    If I can make it to Tampa this week, I will bring it with me.
