Guess the grade on this one. Hint these surfaces are harder to photograph.

kookoox10 · January 31, 2014 4:50AM

I see some chatter on the high points. I'll say 64DMPL.

Vbowling299 · January 31, 2014 4:53AM

MS65PL I would have to say, minimal high point hits, decent strike and somewhat flashy fields.

MGLICKER · January 31, 2014 4:56AM

I am not seeing the mirrors. My guess is MS65.

Good downsized images BTW!

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 5:05AM

your getting closer or are you lol

Tookybandit · January 31, 2014 5:06AM

66PL

DennisH · January 31, 2014 5:06AM

66PL

ModCrewman · January 31, 2014 5:11AM

I'll go with 65 PL

jughead1893 · January 31, 2014 5:12AM

65pl

Higashiyama · January 31, 2014 5:36AM

66. Hard to tell if it is proof like without having the coin in hand.

Ahrensdad · January 31, 2014 6:09AM

I'd say 66PL. Not enough mirror, certainly not on the reverse to merit a DMPL.

Kove · January 31, 2014 6:12AM

66 PL

braddick · January 31, 2014 6:14AM

Only because no one's guessed it, I'd venture and state it's in a GENUINE holder, perhaps cleaned.

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 6:17AM

I will say this it is in a problem free holder.

BustHalfBrian · January 31, 2014 6:19AM

MS64PL, because I cheated.

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 6:20AM

this is my coin 100% and most I post are mine unless I am asking questions about an item I am interested in.
Cheating and ruining it for others is bad form all you had to do is PM me.
Well now that Busthalf brian has cheated yes it is in a PCGS MS64PL holder and this is my coin if you do not believe me ask Rick Snow because I bought it from him.

BustHalfBrian · January 31, 2014 6:22AM

<< <i>this is my coin 100% and most I post are mine unless I am asking questions about an item I am interested in. >>

I see. Why are you selling it? It's a nice coin...

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 6:28AM

Because I had to pay out over 20,000.00 in medical bills that were not covered by my insurance to figure out what is going on with my nervous system which is making daily life very hard. That is also why I had to sell my 2 very nice Redfields.
I have a degenerative nervous system disorder that is causing me all over body pain and making me loose feeling and functionality in my hands and feet. There is your answer.

Here is the label

DennisH · January 31, 2014 7:02AM

Heck of a good looking coin for 64PL.

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 7:06AM

I was not able to capture the mirrors but they are darn near DMPL and it should be a 65 in my opinion. I almost cracked it to send in raw to go for a 64-65 DMPL.

sparky64 · January 31, 2014 7:13AM

Nice Morgan.
I was going to guess 65 or 66 and PL for sure.

LeeBone · January 31, 2014 7:15AM

From what the pics show there is only 4 concerns on the Obv. The eyebrow, nose, in front of the mouth, and on the chin. The cheek seems strikingly smooth. 64 was harsh IMO.

crazyhounddog · January 31, 2014 7:24AM

Looks better than 64 to me...

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 7:24AM

You know how grading goes good one minute not the next,

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · January 31, 2014 7:30AM

Beautiful Coin John! I am praying for the pain to leave your body.

Erik

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 7:42AM

Thanks Eric I appreciate it. I know it is a nice coin lol seriously the fields are very reflective I have to figure out a way to capture that.

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 9:40AM

I will try out different lighting when I get home from my son's hockey practice

lostincoins · January 31, 2014 4:04PM

The coin is a VAM also pics to follow in the am goodnight.

BustHalfBrian · January 31, 2014 4:27PM

<< <i>The coin is a VAM also pics to follow in the am goodnight. >>

All Morgans are VAMs, as well as Peace Dollars. A VAM is simply the coin's die variety - the variety does not have to be rare to be considered a "VAM". It's a common misconception, so don't kick yourself.

There are a lot of die pairs for 1880-S, since it's one of the most abundant dates, so trying to attribute them can be tedious. For that reason, I will leave the attributing to someone else.

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · January 31, 2014 5:24PM

Start Here John

It takes some time, but you have the coin in hand...grab a 10x loupe and get to work my friend

Erik

magikbilly · January 31, 2014 6:14PM

That's a clean cheek John! Lovely! No 64 to me!

Eric

Constantine · February 2, 2014 1:59PM

That is a really sweet cheek.
