I bought this back in February 2015 and have never posted it here, it was a raw purchase off eBay.

82 S looks to be a 65
64+ to me

65+.
It's an easy 64 but I wouldn't say 66.
I feel generous ms66
65
To me 66 is a hard sale, especially with the glaring issue on the reverse near arrows, and the ding on the left side. The full wreath on obverse is stunning, though. It's a solid coin but just not 66 IMO.
64
66 with a plus on any given day.
Looks 65 to me
Around 66.
65+/66 unless the pics are hiding something.
65+ Little too much going on with the reverse for any higher IMO
My Ebay Store
The focal points are clean, standard amount of chatter and reeding dings, hello MS-65+

I agree with this totaly. She is a beaut. Raw from Ebay no less. I would not trust my knowledge of these enough to buy that nice a coin raw. I would be afraid it had issues of some kind I didn't see or know about. Obviously not the case since it graded. GREAT find.
I believe the slab says 66.
I'm feeling this one got a 66 grade.
65+
65+ but way closer to 66 than 65...heavy reed hit on reverse kills the 66 2 out of 3 times but that cheek is squeaky CLEAN. Very Nice GEM Morgan
Such a sweet cheek! 65+
65+
The prime focal areas are clean, but it is ratty in the right obverse field. I think PCGS called it MS66. I'd buy it as a 65.

Probably 65, however, if I were buying, it would be a 64.... too many dings..... I like a clean coin if I am going to pay the higher price.... Cheers, RickO
65+
I don't see this going above 65. There's action in the right obverse field and that's a pretty big bag mark in front of the arrows on the reverse.
While the cheek looks nice, there is something else about the coin that is strange to me...but it could just be me grading from a photo. I think it's in a 63/64 holder...it looks fairly dipped out, and it might even be AU58. But this is why I don't try to grade Morgans from images
It sure looks like a 66 to me.
I am in the 65 camp. Nice coin.
super clean IMO, especially the devices. Ill say 66 also.

I'd say a solid MS65 because of reed marks on reverse, or, would grade higher.
65+?
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

MS-65+. I think the reed marks on the reverse are pushing it just below being MS-66.
What did PCGS call it?
66 all day
PCGS graded this one a MS-65+ Most of you were either right on or off by half a point.
