Just received today.

AngryTurtle · February 9, 2015 6:55AM

Clean cheek, a few big luster grazes, perhaps subdued luster, or could be the pic. Assuming some luster is there, 65+

The luster is somewhat lacking.

64 here on my monitor.....

Bochiman · February 9, 2015 7:04AM

64 crowd for me.

cheezhed · February 9, 2015 7:06AM

fwiw 64

coinkat · February 9, 2015 7:09AM

63-

Nice coin- I see the fields limiting the upside as well as the general flat appearance of the coin.

puffer · February 9, 2015 7:12AM

These issues come lackluster. Look at Bluesheet on NGC vs. PCGS in MS65 vs. Greysheet, huge differentials. 64/64+.

FWIW/YMMV

Wabbit2313 · February 9, 2015 7:23AM

64. Tough date.

joebb21 · February 9, 2015 7:28AM

64

BustHalfBrian · February 9, 2015 8:34AM

I'm in the 62-63 crowd, for dull luster.

Kyle · February 9, 2015 8:42AM

The luster is better than what shows in the picture.

DRUNNER · February 9, 2015 9:36AM

More luster than shown???

OK then. Cheek says lower end of 65.

DollarAfterDollar · February 9, 2015 9:42AM

Luster and strike on these is usually marginal with luster being downright detrimental. This one seems acceptable or better. The cheek and neck suggest MS 65. I'm guessing MS 64.8.

GoldCoin98 · February 9, 2015 9:44AM

MS64+

lostincoins · February 9, 2015 9:49AM

64-65

7Jaguars · February 9, 2015 10:43AM

63. Maybe I'm too strict but would not call that a "clean cheek". Reverse very nice and again apparently luster lacking with a dipped look to these eyes...

nwcoast · February 9, 2015 11:17AM

Pretty clean fields, moderate to light luster, few minor face/cheek hits.
I'm in the 63+ camp. Nice coin!
She'd be welcome in my Dansco any day

puffer · February 9, 2015 11:38AM

There are plenty of these that have sold on HA in MS65 comparable to this one: Text

david3142 · February 9, 2015 11:49AM

I like this one as a 64+ but looks like a very clean coin I would enjoy owning.

icsoccer · February 9, 2015 11:50AM

63

roadrunner · February 9, 2015 12:09PM

63+ with the rim hit

metalmeister · February 9, 2015 1:07PM

64 camp. Nice coin!

Wolf359 · February 9, 2015 1:11PM

63 luster limit.

TireKicker · February 9, 2015 2:06PM

Looks like a 64 to me

messydesk · February 9, 2015 2:20PM

Cheek isn't clean enough for 65, and luster is below average, so 63.

HighRelief · February 9, 2015 2:22PM

I would call it a 63

lasvegasteddy · February 9, 2015 2:29PM

<< 63+ with the rim hit >>

depending how bad the graders eyes catch that 12 o clock reverse rim
this could be a 62

but i'd say it's a 63

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · February 9, 2015 2:34PM

Nice Morgan...I'll guess ms64 if the luster is there, but I can't say too much about luster being anything with this date/mm...as here is my piece

ms62 CAC

Is that a gold bean -)

puffer · February 10, 2015 12:44AM

And the grade of the coin was??

TopographicOceans · February 10, 2015 12:46AM

65
That reverse is pristine

Kyle · February 10, 2015 1:09AM

<< And the grade of the coin was?? >>

Basically raw.

It's in a PCI Slab

BustHalfBrian · February 10, 2015 1:15AM

What did they call it?

Rollerman · February 10, 2015 1:19AM

Luster is a probem for this date. I'd say MS64.

LindeDad · February 10, 2015 1:37AM

First look I said 64 staying with that after 5 seconds. That's all next please.

Wabbit2313 · February 10, 2015 1:58AM

Can you post the full slab front and back? (Curiosity reason)

telephoto1 · February 10, 2015 2:03AM

64. Too many ticks for a 5. The luster doesn't bother me.

rkfish · February 10, 2015 2:56AM

64

65.

Sure, I'll post some quick iPhone puctures when I get home.

Kyle · February 10, 2015 5:48AM

<< Can you post the full slab front and back? (Curiosity reason) >>

These are really quick (and terrible) images. But, they get the job done.

cheezhed · February 10, 2015 6:21AM

That looks like the latest slab before PCI folded.

BillJones · February 10, 2015 6:30AM

MS-64, mostly because of weak luster. If this coin were a bit brighter it would have a shot at MS-65.

lasvegasteddy · February 10, 2015 7:13AM

this 2nd image is way better in a way
every bit of a 64...looking at that

puffer · February 10, 2015 7:20AM

Have the two major grading services graded coins comparable to this one MS65? Yes, just check out 40 or so auction listings. But results often reflect aesthetic appeal.

YMMV/FWIW

CalGold · February 10, 2015 9:29AM

64. This date can often be found at that grade with clean surfaces but with a washed out look and indifferent luster like this coin. Yours looks a bit gray in the photo as well.

CG

Type2 · February 10, 2015 2:08PM

If they grade it MS63/4.

lordmarcovan · February 10, 2015 2:22PM

I'm in the 64 crowd.
