Scratch on reverse is on the holder.
It's in a problem-free PCGS holder.

If problem free I say VF30

Moldnut

EF40

BustHalfBrian

Surfaces are pretty busy and the splotchy patina is a bit distracting.

I'll say 25

25-30

The holder may be problem free, but what about the coin?

35 would likely be my grade- I suspect it graded 30- the lower left which is one of my key grading diagnostics to alittle tuff to see in the image. Terrific original coin

halfhunter

I too am thinking VF-35 . . . Nice coin ! ! !

I'm in the VF35 crowd too; just not enough hair detail or wing detail to make 40.

VF30

VF20

30. You're off by a year from the usual purchase, Dennis.

Except for Mr. Meanie Steve no one agreed with PCGS... and I sure don't either. Here's a recap of the guesses:
VF20 (1)
VF25 (1)
VF25-30 (1)
VF30 (6)
VF35 (10)
VF35-XF40 (3)
XF40 (6)

I personally grade this as a VF30 shot-35. (If anyone has Morgans in VF20 that look like this, please let me know!) In addition to being amazingly undergraded, I am fascinated to see if what looks like a die crack between the S and Liberty's cap really is a crack. If it is, I think it will be a new VAM discovery.

You think it could have been net'd for the blotchy 'patina' on the obverse?

That was my first thought. It really detracts from the coin, IMHO.

20 is harsh- very harsh


a very disappointing grade on several levels

-details
-originality
-and just the natural look of what one should look for in a higher end vf coin

I agree with you.

I don't think so at all. In fact, I should be so fortunate to find more circulated coins that are this natural, original and attractive.

RonB

Coin looks ok to me.
Rev looks like a 20 and Obv looks 30 to me.

I thought she would have gone a little higher also.

I guess it's a crapshoot in this range sometimes.

Interesting coin though, thanks for posting it.

That looks like a 30 all day long to me.
