    Thanks. In hand it does not seem to have the "wear" look. It seems be be weakly struck.

    I do not like that carbon spot at 3 o'clock

    What crowd? You're the only one who replied, until I came along and rescued this thread from oblivion! image

    I'll agree with everything said, though.

    Two's company. Now, if we get one more person to agree, then three's a crowd. image

    It is indeed hard (for me, anyway) to tell wear from strike issues. As a matter of fact, I gave somebody on the forums two Morgans recently, which I'd graded AU55 and AU58, and he got both of them back graded MS63!

    I don't think that's a carbon spot at 3:00, Wayne. Just a small stain of some sort. It's a minor detraction, but it didn't leap out at me and I frankly didn't really notice it that much until you mentioned it.

    It's a nice Morgan, regardless.
