AT or NT and what will this Morgan "Crack-out" grade?

Crazy4Coins

What grade do you think this coin will come back?...It was cracked out and sent in raw. Will it come back AT or is it a no problem NT coin?

Are those roller marks on the jaw? I think they will grade it and give you 63 Looks like milk spots behind th eeye too

where is the toning you are talking of?

It's hard to tell what the area on the jaw was caused from..it sort of looks like it was caused during minting..hard to tell from the pics but right where the jaw meets the hairline there are raised lines, like those caused from die polishing. These lines match up with those running parallel across the jaw. They are under a lightly toned area and difficult to see.

The toning doesn't show strongly in the image but what you see wrapping the perimeter is reddish rose color. It also surrounds the devices both obverse and reverse but not as strong.

63, I dont see any tone, so if there is mild tone it would tend to be NT I guess

Nice coin.

The toning is almost invisible in the pic, so I would say that it's subtle enough to be NT. Someone intentionally trying to tone the coin probably wouldn't have stopped at that result.

I will say they are roller marks on the planchet. However I am no expert

I'd say NT, but the area from 6 to 9 O'clock on the obverse side will hold the coin back. To many scrapes on the cheek, which don't look like die polishing to me, and the fields in that area look like they are riddled with small dings. High end or solid MS63, slight chance at MS64 if that 6 to 9 area is better than it looks from the photo. Overall a nice piece.

I agree with solid 63, maybe 64.
