Comments on 1882 S Morgan

Here's a common date Morgan I bought over 20 yrs ago and it's been toning a bit.

I think it may have been cleaned at one time but I can't be sure.

Could I get some comments on the photo, grade and toning?

Thank you.

I agree with you, it looks like it's been cleaned once upon a time. I'd say AU58 as it shows
a bit of wear above the ear and 82s's are known for thier strong strikes so AU. Still a nice
dollar with very good eye appeal and I expect the toning is better in hand!

Thats a nice look. Just enough toning to give it some character that dipped coins seem to be missing.

As far as the photo it's not bad. What kind of setup were you using? It looks a little washed out, if you can try upping the shutter speed.

I'm using a cheap point and shoot in manual.

F7.1@1/250, overcast sky shot outside, no reflectors.

Was that a hand shot or with tripod?

Interesting about the outdoor part, I usually hear people trying to get natural sunlight through the window.

Hand.

Considering the conditions that is an excellent shot.
