    The pic's are tough, but it looks really clean, and sharply struck.
    If it's not hairlined up, dipped to heck and has luster, I'd say ms/65.

    Thank you! Believe it or not, the answer is: ANACS AU58! image

    This is a bit lower grade than I was looking for, but I like it for some reason. I think I'll put in a bid.

    No doubt you'll re-submit to pcgs or ngc. This ain't AU.
  • dollardudedollardude Posts: 1,263
    Yes, I was looking for one already in a PCGS holder for my registry set. If I win this one, I'll get her reslabbed by PCGS. Thanks.

    Edited to Add: Okay everyone, please don't bid on this one! image

    DollarDude: I think that she's an honest AU-58 with high eye appeal. I think that I can detect a slight bit of rub on Miss Liberty's cheek, and also some rub in the unprotected fields on the reverse of the coin.

    It's a nice AU-58 that looks prettier than alot of MS-60-62 coins. Nice pickup if you got it for an AU price! image

    WOW! anacs AU58 looks mighty conservative to me, unless there's something we can't see on the photo.

    BTW dollardude: check your PM's; I need your advice on something if you have time...nankraut

    AU58 seems like an honest grade. Morgans, even in MS61 should have full cartwheel luster on the face and in the fields. It appears a bit scuffy overall for MS. Most of the cheek and facial area is missing luster. No real obvious major luster field breaks but a myriad of minute tiny handling lines give it a slightly broken up or fuzzy appearance in the fields. A very choice AU58.
