I just picked up this beauty today. Got it at a great price. And thanks go to Mark (coinguy) for pointing out a friend of his who had some auctions going where I found this gem. Thanks!

    Pretty nice coin, what grade is it?

    Neil, the obverse is nice, but I love the reverse.

    Thanks! It's an ICG MS-63. I agree with this grade, too! I was surprised by the reverse. The pic in the auction made it look like it was marginal but it is more lustrous than I thought. I'm very pleased with this. The scuffs on the cheek and the one in front of the mouth are really the only things that limited the grade.

    Nice coin. I love to see purple toning on a Morgan
