I picked this up at a local show yesterday

I don't actively collect Morgans, but I've seen enough of them to know that there are some dates that are usually softly struck. When I saw this coin I thought it was a much better than average strike for the date, and it even has semi-PL fields. It was the first non-PCGS slab I've bought in a long time, an ICG MS63. For you Morgan experts - did a get a decent deal for $87?

Even if it wasn't such a great deal, I like the coin much better than the PCGS MS63 I already have.

    Thanks to those who have responded for confirming my opinion.

    Betta,

    Yes, there are marks on the cheek. The obverse fields are good for a MS63; the reverse has a noticeable mark between the wreath and the "CA" of America. I like it because of its strike and flash.

    I think you did fine. But remember, there aren't really any coins worth getting in those holders. image Yes, no real coins. Nothing to see there. Nothing to get. Leave them for me to snipe away...
