Yep, that's a pretty one! Trying to learn, so I hope you don't mind if I toss in a grading guess. MS65?

My guess is 64, that hit on the upper cheek is a major one. But the color sure is pretty. I just love it when you see that gentle fading from color to color.

My first inclination was also 64. But, after thinking about it for a bit, I decided the hit, while somewhat distracting, was well compensated for by the overall look of the coin, and that it might make it in to a 65 holder.

Of course, I could be full of crap.

Edit: Hey, no fair editing the title and adding the grade! NGC undergraded it, damnit!

It's a beauty.

Plus, the "hit" looks like a reeding mark- much less offensive than old tyme bag marks.

Solid.

So how come those cheekbone gashes drop all my Morgans to 63??

Absolutely beautiful Morgan by the way, wonderful blending of colors.

I don't care about the grade. The coin is pleasant to look at.

Its a very pretty coin and I believe properly Graded. Very nice detail!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I love how these early S mint Morgans have that flashy luster which makes the colors glow.
I have found it fairly difficult to locate decently toned 78-S and 78-CC examples. Has anyone else noticed that?
