Thanks to whomever looks at the picture,was wondering if coin is a candidate for 3rd party grading.

Where else can you get good free advice

Eric: Since the 1879-S is one of the most common Morgan Dollars, often seen in choice to gem uncirculated condition, they usually have to be at least MS-64 to MS-65 to make them commercially worth having certified by a TPGS.

Based upon the photos of your Morgan, I would guesstimate that it's probably an MS-63 with attractive peripheral toning. Most coins could be candidates for third party grading, but you must decide why you want to get it certified. Typically there are commercial market value considerations which contribute to having coins certified.

In this case, based solely on market value, there's not much (if any) upside to having this coin certified. I hope that this helps you out a bit.

Thanks Stuart. I just added a reverse on that coin.

What Stuart said but maybe even as low as MS62 due to all the chatter on the Face which is the most important feature of the coin for grading purposes - Might not be worth the grading fees

Thanks, actually I just wanted a little help on the coin, because I just bought it for the eye appeal(toning) probably paid a little to much but it's personal taste I guess. So to tell you the truth my Morgan set is all raw. But I have been buying slabbed PCGS coins and to me I dont think it is half as fun as finding that raw coin that will grade 60 and up. Just my opinion where I know others will disagree, but thats what makes these boards so great. Kind of like politics

ms-63 at the very most.

Looks like a nice coin, but the hits look to make it maybe MS62 to MS63.
Depends on how it looks in real life though.
If you are wanting to use it for a registry collection, then getting it slabbed is not a problem.
I'd use a free submission or a economy submission on it though.

solid 63.....

Does look like a 63 to me also. But, with that target toning, it is definitely worth sending in to get holdered.
