Grade the GSA Dollar!

I have a GSA dollar. I have no idea what grade it might be..... you see where this is going.
Also, do the GSA dollars carry a premium at all?

    I not very good at grading Morgans, but that's one of the best GSAs I've ever seen, image

    a MS 64-, many contact marks over the prime focal area, and at least from the picture, not good mint luster

    I really don't see this grading at PCGS for
    anything over MS63.

    Nice CC dollar, but I don't get the 64's
    and 65's.

    MS64... mainly due to the cheek abrasions... rather flat looking... some of both could be the photographic presentation... in hand, 65 may be possible. Cheers, RickO

    no way higher than an ms63.

    its a very typical GSA Dollar, id recommend keeping it in the holder than cracking it out, since many of us here do agree on the 63 or 64 grades.

    Thanks for all the super fast replies.

    It does have a ton of mint luster if that helps the fence sitters. I just suck at taking pictures.

    Again - do these carry any sort of premium in the holder?

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    64 Silver Dollars always have some hits due to their size. That's a very clean one. I'd say high 63 obverse and a 65 reverse.

    IMHO, 63.

    Yes, GSA dollars do carry a premium in their plastic, boxes and certificates. Not a lot at the present time but
    definitely a premium the way they are. Oh, and I'm in the 64 crowd.

    Judging from the picture-and keeping in mind that the picture is large so the chatter might not be as bad it appears-MS64.

    Gosh she took all those grazes you'd normally expect to see hanging out in the left field on her face. Left field looks very nice but I can see why some are giving her only a 63. I don't think a 64 would be too generous on her, though, given the way the TPGs grade for the market, these days. Final answer, I'll give her a 64. I like her.

    MS-64 make sure you ask to have it attributed as a GSA

    I just do not see this coin in a 65 holder.

    64 on a good day, otherwise 63.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    ms63, with a shot at ms64. Keep it in the original holder, as there is a premium for this. This date in the holder carries a smaller premium than other dates.
