Guess the grade...

of this 1880-S Morgan my husband just received from our local dealer today. It just arrived at the dealer's today, a little late for being a Christmas present, but appreciated by me just the same.

    Hi Luvdawgs! image

    I'll go with 64. Looks frosty!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

  • Wish I could've done a better scan for you. I used my scanner because I haven't figured out the correct settings on my digital camera to be able
    to take a coin picture.

  • It's always tough from a picture.

    I'll go MS65PL.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  • By the way, the dealer said that in his estimation, the coin is very accurately graded, and he totally agrees with the grade.

  • Allright then.

    66 PL, that's as high as I'll go. image
