    If it's in a slab maybe 66-67. If it's raw 65.
  • Whoa.

    Great strike, mark free, looks MS66 - 67ish...

    BUT

    It almost looks unnaturally smooth, almost as if the picture has been photochopped.

    Hard to see the minor stuff in the image, but it looks like 67 all day.

    From the image given, looks like a 65, maybe 66. BUT, this image is somewhat grainy and probably hiding minor scuffs and dings. Wouldn't pay more than 64 money for this one.

    Since that's not the actual color of the coin it's hard to tell. 65-67 depending on the lighting.

    Let me guess.It was a crack-out MS65 and `NCSed` to a raw 67 (pre-submitted).image

    If the coin pretty much really looks like that shot its a 67 or 66 if the luster is nearly flat.

    Sure looks good from the pic.

    I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

    Picture makes it look like a near 67 but it seems to be a 65 or a 66. Hard to be sure. I have a poor feel for the luster and or the reflection/brilliance of the coin as the lighting is at an extreme low angle from the west to northwest and is distorting the real look of the coin. This can hide imperfections and luster breaks.

    it's too hard to tell from the picture. It could be a whizzed coin or a nice high grade MS coin but from the pic I just don't know. mike image

    The picture looks sharpened by Photoshop and cropped out from its holder/container. I'll give the image a 66.
  • Most the 81-Ps don't look like that. What's up?

  • Looks almost TOO good, if there is such a thing image I get the feeling either that the image has been manipulated to look better, or that the coin has been polished. Some of the details in the hair look alot like coins that I have seen that have been polished.

    If neither of these are true, then it is one heck of a Morgan!!!

    6 or a 7? Picture looks funny. Cleaned, polished?

  • If the picture accurately represents the coin, it looks like a solid 67 to me.......if the picture is manipulated it could be just about anywhere from BB to MS-67.
  • The digital image has been taken at an other than 90 degree angle to the surface or something has caused too much reflection. As far as grade with such an inaccurate photo my best guess is MS64.

    The pic is a 67 the coin is probably something less.

    Here is my speculation on what the coin might look like color-corrected and enhanced a bit to show it a tad larger.

    There is too much "suspect" about the image to even venture a guess. The Motto/legend, stars, arrows and wreath should not be more "brilliant" than the fields (I assume it is why they are black in the image); they just don't strike or wear that way and it doesn't appear to have the rims of a proof. I am dying to hear the grade and why. image

    from the photo it looks better than 64 maybe as high as 67, strike looks sharp but not needle, need the coin in hand to determine the luster, and whether the luster breaks at highpoints are light friction from other coins (piece is free of heavy baggies) or wear/rub/polished or what. nice piece from photo, would offer 64 money to a stranger and all sales final, 65 to a dealer I've dealt with who has a return priv., 66 money if it were in an N or P slab, and probably couldn't decide to afford it if it were truly a 67 image

  • Looks like rub on the breast...AU-58
  • I don't know what the grade is. I saw this on Ebay and wanted to get input on the coins before I decided to bid.

    If nothing else is wrong with it there is a row of hits by the chin, on the cheek near the eye, a BIG hit on the eagle and the strike isn't the strongest in the world. MS64/65/
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
