Here's the auction. Link.
I took a chance and here's my pics. The coin has PL fields and I really can't see it a 61. Looks 63PL to me all day.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

    I don't know about PL, but I agree with the 63.

    Maybe SPL instead?

    Net graded for that interesting, but unoriginal, color.
  • I won three of those old ANA/ANACS Morgans from the same seller last week. A 63, 61, and 60. They should arrive today, hopefully they look as good as yours does. That one looks nicer than a 63 to me--- I wonder if that color was present before it was holdered? Seems like a lot of coins tone in these types of holders...
    Looking to buy Morgans in ACG, INS, IGA, Old PCI photo, and Hannes Tulving holders.

    I think you got that coin for about the right price, perhaps ten bucks below it actually. I'll take your word for it on PL. It looks 62-63 to me too. I see the toning as original but not highly attractive. Might grow on someone though as it is nice at the peripheries. If it is indeed prooflike, it would be a really good one to hold onto. They are just starting to get appreciated for that date. A lot of the Phila issues in PL/DMPL, probably because of the proof populations, were slower to get noticed. Also 1879, 1880, 1884, 1891, 1899, 1900, 1903, though rare on different scales, always seemed to lag.
