    I would say 63 or 64, depending on just how many marks/hairlining there are.

    I like the obverse, but the reverse is a little too "splotchy" for my tastes.

    Still, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers...

    Nice looking coin. What's the grade?

    I didn't want to put the grade at first because I had my own opinion and wanted to see others.

    The coin currently is in a PCGS MS65 holder. I like the coin a lot but to me the obv is a little rough for the assigned grade. (at least that's how it looks in the picture).

    Does anyone think the coin is worth 65 money?

    Too many hairlines and not enough eye appeal for 65 money IMO. I liked as a 63.

    No disrespect-but I like it or dislike it depending upon the price. Mike

    The lustre put it in a 5 holder but technically a 3 or 4. Pass.

    Lee,

    You have a great eye for coins. I believe you are correct as to why its in the 5. Just scrolling through the available ones, this one jumps out even in the small pics due to the center luster.

    I still have it on my watch list and will see where the pricing comes in. Maybe if it looks like it will go off for the lower grade money I might take a stab at it.

    I do like it; but I was pretty sure that it wasn't technically a 65.

    Thanks for all the help everyone.

    It's not really a "pass" coin if this one meets your budget nicely.... these tend to come a whole lot uglier. A nice coin.

    I think your current coin (the AU-58) looks better.

    Not worth 65 money.

    If it's in a Heritage Auction; when the reserve is posted it will be priced close to the 65 level so not a value IMO.

    I agree, it's a pretty example but I would pass on this one, don't like it as a MS65.
  • BobGreeneBobGreene Posts: 952 ✭
    This coin definitely shouldn't be in a 65 holder. I'd give it a 63 or 64, most probably a 63. I also don't care for the reverse toning.

    Way too much chatter on the cheek, in the field in front of the face, and in front of the kneeling figure on the reverse for 65...I sold an MS62 in an old NGC fat slab that was honestly less marked-up than this coin.

    Very Nice obverse, reverse is too "mottled" for me. I would give it a "net" MS64. I sure like the obverse!!

    Call me nuts, but even with the little, and i repeat, little skritch a scratchy on the face i don't see any problem with that coin in a 5 holder...


    Folks, ms65 is a gem unc. coin. Not perfect, often not close to perfect.


    Subject coin is highly lusterous, sweetly original with just a few scrapes on the cheek. Jees, how many Morgans have 5 times the chatter and sit peacefully, and unchallenged in their ms 65 coffins?

    MS65 is 5 points from perfection. Think of it that way and it doesn't look bad at all in it's current home.

    I'm happy that people have seen coins in 62 slabs that were nicer and like the current coin as a "3" and believe a little mottled toning on the reverse would yank the coin down from a 65 to a 64.

    Keep considering dude, you could be very pleased with the coin once in hand!


    btw, it is not my coin and i have no financial interest in the outcome. Just wanted to stick up for an extremely eye-appealing coin that seems to be getting a very harsh rap by a lot of people who have never held this coin in their own two hands.

    ps. What, nobody screaming about the BLATANT AT job that some Dr. did here?????? lol
  • thisnamztakenthisnamztaken Posts: 4,101 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Technically speaking=64;
    Eye appeal, luster and NT=66*;
    Net=65

    If we're being legalistically picky, I agree with CommemDude on the slightly distracting cheek chatter under her eye, but it

    definitely is a image coin!

    obverse: I think the toning is exceptionally nice. Luster looks strong, sufficient for the holder. Marks on face and left field show me MS 64.

    reverse: I do not like the toning at all.

    Conclusion: Reserve will likely be around $2800 plus juice. This coin is not worth the jump in price to MS 65.

    How would you fellows compare the current Heritage auction coin with this Isabella?
