Guess the Grade of this Morgan Group.

Nothing fancy here but every Morgan deserves a grade, what do you think it may be and do you see any problem coins in the group?

    Maybe its just the lighting but they all look like they have been cleaned.
  • Just what I was thinking.

    These coins were scanned so yes it's the lighting reflecting off of the high spots. The 86 has some spots of some toning starting to form on the cheek. These coins were in an old cuban cigar box for the past 35 years or so
    I just bought a bunch of old garage sale stuff from some folks in my community who were trying to raise money to close out there recently passed on mothers estate. There were some very stale cigars in the box with these.
    I also found some 1924 peace dollars and a few very old flashlights. I was figuring these to be maybe AU something but AU what is the question? I paid $ 4.00 each for the Morgans and peace dollars, They had a sign on them that said make an offer so i offered and they said yes.

    they do look cleaned but scanners have a way of making coins look like that. Can you take a picture with a digital camera? mike

    Unfortunately from the picture, neither coin has an original look. Its tough to say if either make MS60/61.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Looks like AU-Unc details but these have been dipped, then dipped, then dipped, then dipped and then dipped again.

    I can't tell if they have been messed with or not but they all are AU.
    See the different color in the open area of the fields as compared with the protected areas between the devices? That's wear.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    you could be right about the dipping but if so it was done a long time ago. I found Mouse Turds and rotting cuban cigar tabacco in the box with these. At leats i think they were mouse turds, ! they tasted like mouse turds.
