OK Morgan Fans,
See if you can guess the grade. It's an 1885O I got at the local coin shop.

    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    No winners yet. I hope my digital photos are good enough for an accurate grading. If it's any help it's got a PCGS green label.

    If you didn't state it was in a PCGS holder, I woulda thought it was an ACG MS75 image

    Actually, it's an MS63. My photos must be really lousy. I'll try and take better ones and post them later.

    Man, that's a MS63????? Sure don't look like it!
  • Dog97Dog97 Posts: 7,874 ✭✭✭
    Well the pictures look like a worn dirty circulated coin.
    Guess that proves what the dealers are always saying that we can't judge a coin from a pict. Missed that one by a mile!

    Either that, or there's a little chain yanking going on.

    Naw, I don't think any chain yanking. I couldn't decide if I saw luster or shiny reflected from the slab. I can see 63-few marks, typical bad O mint strike, mottled brown peripheral toning. I'll bet you 10 to 1 it's original. It's cool!

    I assure you there's no chain yanking going on. I thought the coin had character. Maybe I made the wrong choice, maybe my pictures were bad. Here is a new scan of the obverse of the coin for you to peruse.

    Ah, that's more like it! Much better image, and also much cooler than all the blast white MS63s out there.
