    Well, reeded edge and PCGS aren't exactly newbies. I'd have to see the coin in person to make a judgement.

    That has to be die polish- and the obverse looks awesome!!

    Personally I think that coins a dog.........for a 66.
    I can't tell how strong the strike is on the obverse, but without better detail in the hair I wonder how it can be a 66?
    Shouldn't the die polish be taken into account when assigning a grade?
    Just makes me wonder who submitted the coin!

    Gee, almost every coin is either PQ, "incredible" or a potential upgrade.

    Why shop anywhere else?

    It's "incredible".

    <<<PCGS MS-66PL, LOOKS MS-67DMPL! >>>
    Hahahaha!!
    A few too many marks on the face for that I do believe!
    If it really looks like a $5,000 coin why don't reedededge get it regraded instead of TRYING to sell it for $650?

    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I do like the contrast on that piece. But no way would I have ever given it a 66! image

    If PCGS calls those die polish marks and not cleaning scars, I may have a shot at getting my DMPL coin slabbed after all. It's worth a shot after seeing this one. Maybe I'm misattributing the marks on mine. They do look an awful lot like the ones shown on this coin.

    I can't believe that coin is in a PL holder, let alone DMPL. I don't care that the die polish doesn't hurt the grade (after all, that's the way the coin was made), but I know I have seen/heard comments about how die polish can preclude a PL/DMPL designation.

    That's what's interesting to me - does (should) die polish lines count against a PL/DMPL designation? Seems to me it should.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Boy that's one ugly coin for a 66PL.

    Those do look like die polish marks, as the lines do not go through the arrow heads.
    On the die, the arrow heads would be recessed, thus the bad polishing would miss the arrow heads.

    What, ? does this guy have some kind of 'special deal' going with PCGS ??

    This coin is a dog ! Hits all over it and so called "die polish lines" that look terrible. The eye apeal on this one is aweful.

    The Gobrecht <sp?> Dollar he had in a PCGS holder looked like it had been gone over with a brillo pad, and now this
    fugly Morgan ??
