    <Insert Drooling Emoticon Here>!!! Frank, that's a beauty in the pictures... I like it... First glance guess from me is MS65... but I'm not sure how harsh Morgan's are graded... I've developed my eye to within a point or two on MS Mercs, but not on other series... looks great in the pictures!!! image

    I see nothing that would keep the coin from MS65, maybe shot 66 if it's all there in the luster department.

    Rock solid 65. Nice coin Frank.
  • BigAlBigAl Posts: 1,187 ✭✭✭

    depends what's going on in that lower left field, pic not very detailed there. Otherwise, I think NGC would slap a 66 on that one.

    My initial impression is MS65. I suck at grading Morgans though.

    4 or 5 PCGS ~ 5 or 6 NGC, IMHO

    I am thinking Solid Ms-65, great coin with awsome eye-appeal.
  • FC57CoinsFC57Coins Posts: 9,140 ✭
    Russ - The coin has blast white surfaces and cartwheel galore.

    Big Al - there are a couple of light scuff marks in the lower left cuadrant of the coin, but they're faint to the naked eye - you only see them well with magnification.

    Frank: Nice pickup. Looks like a solid MS-64 with a good shot at a 65 to me. Strike a bit weak over Miss linerty's ear may keep it from 65-ing... image

    She's a very pretty 83-CC !! Well done !! image

    solid ms64 in my opinion
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    No question, solid mid range 65. It wont make 66, too many larger marks on the focal points of the obverse.
  • kamehameha00kamehameha00 Posts: 2,077
    Nice coin,looks in the 65-66 range.

    P.S. Hi K6AZ,haven't seen you in a while.
  • FC57CoinsFC57Coins Posts: 9,140 ✭
    Thanks guys - I too thought it had solid 65 potential with maybe a 50-1 shot at 66 at NGC. I'd be sending it there because they grade these coins in the slab.
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    Whatever you do, don't bust it out of the GSA holder. These higher grade CC's have become a rarity still in the GSA holder.

    Did you get it at the Pelham coin show today?
  • stmanstman Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭✭
    BTW Frank.... I agree your Gsa appears to be a very nice ms65.

    I'll go with the 65 also. Nice looking coin.

    Yes - there were a few GSA's that reared their heads long enough to be gotten today image

    Frank I was right next to you when you bought that coin. I didn't know it was you.
  • Dog97Dog97 Posts: 7,874 ✭✭✭
    Strike doesn't look the strongest in the world so I give the pict a 64. The coin may grade higher. image

    Really? Weird! Tassa and I were commenting that we thought you were going to be at the show. Go figure!
  • LUCKOFTHEIRISHLUCKOFTHEIRISH Posts: 586 ✭
    Man I had ask around for you guys but know one knew who you were. I must have asked the wrong people. Hey did you see the skeleton of the bat? I think Tassa, and I spoke about the bat???? I could tell you didn't want to pay for the coin but your instinct took over.

    I bought my coins to show you guys. Perhaps, we can meet up at the Bessimer show?????
  • FC57CoinsFC57Coins Posts: 9,140 ✭
    Sounds good image
  • gsaguygsaguy Posts: 2,425 ✭
    Franko,

    It's hard to tell what's out in the left field, but I'd say it's a pretty decent 65. Nice coin.

    Tassa,
    Did you see the bat skeleton? I think Frank bought the coin on the corner booth, and the other booth on that corner had the bat skeleton.
  • TassaTassa Posts: 2,373 ✭✭
    Um...I didn't see the bat skeleton.

    Between the two photos, I'd give it 64.

    With the spot on the reverse and the noise in front of the nose I would grade it a 65, but the hit under the eye and by the cheek, I'd say 64

    It looks like a high end MS-64, but the grading services often go easy on CC dollars, so it could go into an MS-65 holder.

  • TassaTassa Posts: 2,373 ✭✭
    I saw the coin. I almost purchased it myself. image I think it has a good chance of being graded MS65 by NGC.

    I agree it depends on what is going on in front of the face and how distracting that is. It does not look like your typical CC I have to say, very nice clean cheek. Overall very nice coin. Looks like a nice 65 coin, not sure about the 66 after looking at the second picture, look like a tad too many micro disctractions.
    Very nice coin, thanks for sharing.
