These Morgans are VF-35's???

Just strolling thru some Teletade auction history and found these pieces of s--tuff.

1903-S PCGS VF-35

1903-S NGC VF-35

The PCGS example barely hits F-12, the NGC maybe a merciful 20, IMHO...

I'd go 25 on the PCGS and 20 on the NGC

You are a tough grader, pull your ANACS grading guide out, the feathers on that left wing on the reverse are nice and full for the PCGS, not so nice for the NGC

Agree with you on the feathers, but the weak reverse rim and lettering, along with lack of hair detail above the forehead just make me want to downgrade more on the PCGS example. Maybe it's the strike, but my 79-CC (PCGS VF-20) looks better than that example.

overgraded, just a tad

1903-S's seem to me to have weakly struck obverses. The Pcgs coin is 35 on the reverse.IMHO. While the NGC coin is more 25ish. However there are better examples to be found. Bob
