1892 Morgan Grade opinions?

Trooper

Hi all
just looking for opinions on the grade of this 1892 Morgan. Sorry it's the only pic.

MS61 look about right?

Thanks
Tom

not much to go by in that picture except that from what is seen MS62 is the max. mike

I agree with you. MS61, possible 62., nice coin!

BigAl

I concur....62

Trooper

It's a Carson City. Would the graders give it a bump for that?

Thanks

One-sided grade (i.e. 60% of the total grade) is MS-61 shot 62.

What does the reverse of the coin (other 40% grading component) look like?

i'm playing the devil's advocate and saying 60

Tom,

I believe graders will bump a grade for: super-duper luser, exceptional eye appeal, or mirrored surfaces--not just b/c it's a cc. Judging by the pic i'd say you have a nice ms62. Depending on price, i'd seriously consider that coin...I believe 92cc's in ms are the most undervalued of all cc morgans.

Just grading by the obverse, it looks Ms-61 that might get the nudge to 62 because of the luster?

where is the rev photo?

Trooper

Thanks for the comments all

The asking price was $300 bucks.

It doesn't look like it was cleaned or dipped from what I could see from the luster.

I agree that 1892-CC's are undervalued. It's one of the holes in my MS CC set that I have yet to fill -- and I've got lots of duplicates of the others...

Stuart

Trooper: That coin is being offered to you at 50% of Greysheet if it's truly at least MS-60. It's even a fair price as an AU-58.

If I were you I'd buy it! If you pass on it PM me the seller's info & I'll buy it for $300 if I think it's MS61/62!!

Yes, I agree, its a great deal.

If the tick marks on the face aren't too severe I'd go 63.
I usually don't comment on other people's grade guesses but I think you guys are being a little too tough with the 61 & 62 grade. What am I missing?
