Grade this Morgan Dollar...

Picked-up this common date 1885 while I was on vacation. I was looking for some nice early date Lincolns but the B&M guy had nothing of consequence. He seemed to be pretty much only interested in silver and commented that he picked-up a "nice" group of Morgans not to long ago. As I'm not a Morgan collector but do appreciate the series, I decided to pick-up some common dates. I thought that this one had pretty decent eye-appeal...

What do you think with respect to grade?

MS 64....could be AU though depending on how the rims look

silvergoldnut · July 25, 2009 12:03PM

I may be a suspicious fellow,
but the lower cheek looks suspicious

Nice die crack on the reverse. Very pretty coin. My guess is MS 63, also.

smet-would that be a 64 with a bullet?

i`ll say, bee you.

Nice Strike. I like the toning on the rim. Nice Grab.

DoubleEagle59 · July 25, 2009 2:08PM

64, maybe a 65.

metalmeister · July 25, 2009 2:34PM

I am in the 64 camp.

JustaRookie · July 25, 2009 4:22PM

63-the cheek scratch is distracting-I have the 85 in 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, and 66 as part of my Morgan grading set and that appears to compare to my 63 the best although it could stretch to a 64 with that reverse.

64 all day long.

Nice coin, based on the slightly weak strike, MS64.

greghansen · July 25, 2009 8:10PM

I am in the MS64 camp.

TorinoCobra71 · July 25, 2009 9:21PM

MS64.

64 for sure!

MorganChicken · September 17, 2009 8:24AM

I would have to say 65. I collect mainly 64's and this looks better.

AUandAG · September 17, 2009 10:00AM

Distracting hit on the cheek but still I'd say a 65 as the fields on the obverse are just
spectacular!

<< <i>ms64 >>

I agree with that. Uh oh, I just agreed with my own quote from 2 months ago.

A common date long before the Treasury bonanza of the 60's.
These are generally well struck, and plentiful even in 66 and 67.
Nice piece, 64/65.

Looks like a solid MS64 too me.

HighRelief · September 17, 2009 1:27PM

MS64 looks about right.

morgandollar1878 · September 17, 2009 5:15PM

looks like a solid 64

lkenefic · September 17, 2009 6:37PM

64, even though the spot in "U" is distracting...L

JBN · September 17, 2009 10:03PM

Nice MS64.
