2 Local Auction Pickups? Morgans...

StopMotion

Hey guys,
I picked these 2 morgans up for $12.50 each. They are pretty dirty, but the Hair and Feathers seem to be in MS condition.
What are your guys opinion? Grades? Let me know how the photos are. I'm still learning the photo taking!
Thanks,
SM

1886




1896

The first looks AU, and the second appears to have been cleaned at some point. For the price, not bad.

The first one looks AU, the second looks MS63 but that could be wear on the rev and if so then AU58. Not a rip nor a loss at that price.

First looks AU. Second doesn't look natural to me, cleaned, possibly even buffed because the surfaces look too smooth. $12.50 is a fair price.

First coin (1886) is definitely not Mint State.

The second coin (1896) is probably not Mint State.

I have the same opinion as the others. If you want to start putting some morgans together, I would recommend looking for these common dates in a nicer condition- you won't have to pay much more....

Strong AU on the first.

The obverse of the second looks cleaned.

Hard to go wrong at $12.50 on those though.
