What grade would you give it and is it worth a bid? Thank you in advance.

    Sorry, I would never purchase a raw key date Morgan such as this from ebay or any website.

    You're asking for trouble if you attempt this.

    If you are spending this much for a key date, you're better off with a professionally graded coin...

    Too bright for my taste. XF details, but looks dipped to me. Also, this is a heavily counterfeited date, so I'd go with a certified one if possible.

    I agree looks overdipped.

    I had those same thoughts, but just needed some other opinions. Thanks all.

    XF45, probably cleaned, possibly altered. Flatbed scans suck, so you really can't get a good read on any luster that might be present. With a retail value in the PCGS price guide of $1850, there's no excuse not to have it in someone's plastic, even if it has problems.
