    The pics look great and the coin looks 65, 64 on a bad day due to the obv field chatter.

    Nice color and lustre. Enough nicks and bag marks to knock it to a MS64.

    Excellent

    Nice 65, but I wouldn't call it textile.

    Its got a bit more that cant be seen in the picture, but I do appreciate the opinion.

    With the obv hits, I think it would get MS64.
    I like the reverse though

    Looks like two different types of light being used, I'd try to stay away from that., nice detail.

    Image looks very good- I would call it a 64, but don't think there's enough textile pattern to call it a true textile...

    I agree with the MS64. The toning does very little for me personally.

    MS64 at best (a lot of small scrapes).

    I would call it a 64 also. I like the pics, but that type of toning does not knock my socks off--- its nice, but not as "kick in the pants" as some of your others.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    I'm with the 64 crowd.

    MS64....nice image.......textile is textile gentleman and if you can honestly see a bit of textile pattern which I think we all can then it still qualifies. The amount and quality will affect the price for sure....but it is a bag toned coin with a bit of textile toning....image

    I agree. It is or it isn't.

    64 2/3 rds. + a small toning premium - a very nice coin!

    It is--the textile is clear between 2 and 4 o'clock. It's one of those odd Morgans that clearly qualifies for an MS65 grade based on the reverse and the fairly clean cheek--and then you just have to call it 64 because of so many light abrasions in the left obverse field focal area. Too bad--but an attractive coin none the less.image

    Here is a better close-up of this 1887 Textile. You can see that the threads in those coin bags must have been really heavy duty.
