1900 Morgan on Ebay.....64???? huh?

Or is this a good example of "gradeflation"

The image is likely a scan and these kill nearly all luster. The coin itself might be well struck and free of most marks such that it would be consistent with a higher graded coin, but the likely presence of muted luster would limit it to MS64.

Thanks Tom....that may explain it....it just seems like it should be more like a VF based on pics!

Looks like bad igames of a nice coin- look at how clean the cheek is. I would say it's a nice MS-64

Dark toning...

what you're describing would actually be grade deflation.

For some reason, it just looks like a very much circulated coin to me! VF-EF at best! Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me....or my monitor is about to die or something.

I agree, looks like a substitued coin to me. Low, low feedback and I'm just suspect.

It's simply toned... I'll wager it's a full 64.

That's a substantial reverse rotation, isn't it??

No, it doesn't look like it to me. Both images are rotated approximately 70 degrees.

Impossible to tell from the pics.

I can't remember all of the counterfeit markers for the slab so it could be a real coin in a fake slab, a real coin in a real slab or a fake coin in a fake slab.

No way Tom!
It's a spoof all the way.

For crying out loud!

A pocket coin could have "clean cheeks"

After looking at the coin , i'd say it's a VF (ok, maybe an XF but it's not in my wheel house ).

Anyone else have a different grade opinion?
