  • Need a better picture to determine if the fields are PL, otherwise, I would call it a MS64, almost a 65. The rim dings, the cheek chatter, the crease on the bottom of the neck and the baggie marks above the eagle head are a bit of a bummer. The strike is groovy, and the 64+ may upgrade if we had a bit clearer shot of the reverse, but then again, what do I know right? :-)

  • Thanks for the shot Bob,
    I still cannot decide if it will go a PL or not - the cameo is not too obvious, but the fields look to be somewhat proof-like. Sadly, the new angle and less glare on the second shot points out the 2 bag marks above the eagle, along with the dings a spit past 12, and at 1, and at 2, another bag mark on the rim at 9, and the breast feathers look a little weak. Still a 64

    NOTE: This is just my opinion, and probably a little harsh at that. I have a tendancy to grade out Morgan's a little harder than some. Take it with a grain of salt and a shot of scotch!

    Thanks for posting it!
  • MS-64 or atleast for me because of the rim dings.... but might go 65.

    I don't see a reason why it won't go 65.

    a weak strike limits it to ms-64, imo.

    Looks clean mark wise, a few small hits that have already been pointed out, weak strike, MS64 if the luster & surface is nice.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
