How would you grade this Morgan?

It's not graded and I don't know it. I wonder if it's a dmpl? It's one of the nicest that I have.

    It looks very nice I will guess 65-66. It dosen't appear to have dmpl contrast going by the picture.
    You really can't judge a dmpl from a picture have to see them in person.

    It's probably semi-prooflike at best and looks around 64.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    very nice coin with clean fields, to bad for those small distractions in the lower cheek and neck. It's a lovely coin...

  • MS-65. Does it have some light pastel pink, green & ice blue in the hair?

    It's a 66 if it hasn't been monkeyed with. I have seen PCGS graded 65 coins that look a LOT worse.

  • DCAMFranklin, No It's actually pure white. That dull part on the obv. looks like it may be starting to tone, but is hard to see in bright light.
    Part of the cheek and neck, and most of the eagles breast is white cameo'd. The fields are satiny, but pretty reflective.
    I guess the coloration is from low light.

    Have a beautiful solid toned obverse that I just found though!

    If it hasn't been messed with, it's a 64-65

    MS65

  • From the dings and marks on the cheek, I would almost expect a little more chatter on the neck and cheek area. Red flag for me, almost looks to clean with those detracting marks. hopefully i'm wrong. Hard to tell unless you have the coin in hand. Good Luck. MS64 at most with the dings.

  • I can assure you that this coin has not been screwed with! Original all the way! The few dings on the cheek, the one on the neck and the one on the reverse are pretty much it.

    One of the finest coins from the roll of the same, maybe one or two more near comparable and from my Grandfather.

    To be DMPL (deep mirror prooflike) you have to be able to read newsprint from the reflection for 6 inches (deep reflectivity) on both sides.

    If less but over 2 inches than PL (prooflike)
  • Nice piece Billy - looks like nice frost, but no PL surfaces. I'm in agreement with the rest of the crew here - looks to be in the 64/65 neighborhood - nice neighborhood actually! image

  • I`m with the MS64 crowd. I doubt that it is a PL or DMPL. Maybe a MS63 depending on how heavy the cuts are on the cheek and in the field in front of the face. All-in-all the picture does look good.
