AU-58 PL (see picture in post below).

MS64? - there are some marks on the cheek.

AU-55

Nice coin.

I bet it looks better than the scan... MS64, borderline PL

prooflike · January 30, 2003 10:09AM

Picture is kind of grainy, but I'll say AU55

mic45 · January 30, 2003 10:11AM

MS63, there appear to be marks on the cheek and is that a gouge on the neck? Might be a 64 because the reverse looks super!

nwcs · January 30, 2003 10:14AM

MS64 PL.

Merc · January 30, 2003 10:17AM

I can't tell by the picture. It could be a MS64, or a 65 or a 65PL. I'd have to see it directly to tell.

gmarguli · January 30, 2003 10:32AM

AU58.

clw54 · January 30, 2003 10:34AM

MS63. Greg's probably right, but this was my first guess before reading the other posts.

boiler78 · January 30, 2003 10:34AM

I would guess au 58 even though it looks like it could be MS in the scan. Nice coin and a great date!

mbbiker · January 30, 2003 10:35AM

62pl

braddick · January 30, 2003 10:37AM

Either AU53 or AU55.

oldcameoproofsguy · January 30, 2003 10:48AM

I don't see the rub in the scan to give the coin an AU grade, therefore I say MS64PL

rkfish · January 30, 2003 10:49AM

AU58

Bear · January 30, 2003 10:54AM

MS 63 PL surfaces look strange though.

coinkat · January 30, 2003 10:54AM

A tough call from the picture/scan... doesn't look original (but in all fairness, how many originals do you see of this date?), but it is well struck. Low end AU50 high end AU58... PROBABLY AU53.

I think Greg was the first to get it right with his guess. I saw what appeared to be friction in the fields on the obverse and thus the lower AU grade.

Either way, nice coin! Is that year a little tougher in PL?

coinkat · January 30, 2003 11:12AM

Its quite rare in that grade, especially with the PL designation.

gmarguli · January 30, 2003 12:10PM

I wasn't aware that NGC gave the PL designation for coins below MS60.

Gilbert · January 30, 2003 11:03PM

Nice coin. Is it hazy, toned or the typical prooflike chatter?

Surprised with some of the uncirculated grade guesses. I thought 53 any didn't even consider the designation. For those that guessed AU and those that guessed proof-like, good eye. For those that guessed MS, well, notice how the high points in the hair are "rounded" similarly to the "roundness" of the hair over the ear; dead giveaway IN MOST CASES. A coupla' other rounded spots (cotton bolls, hat, eagles thighs and feet) also give it away, although they are as clearly visible, unless you are "detail oriented" and look at this features on Morgan dollars a lot.

Not trying to come off as an expert or anything; thought some "constructive" criticism and "why I feel it is XX grade" might be informative.
