1884-S Morgan Newp - Grade me! :)

in U.S. Coin Forum

I've always liked this date and find the low grade examples appealing...
I got this today from a friend for $20. It seems like a lot of coin for the money.
I'm not planning to slab as it doesn't seem like a good idea money wise. Just a nice coin to have raw.
I have a grade in mind and wonder what you guys think...

    My opinion is XF45 which If slabbed is selling in the range of $80 to $100. A good buy for sure at $20.

    XF40. Obverse has 45 details but reverse looks a little weak and the luster isn't there.

    40 is my floor with about a 50% shot at 45.

    That coin will grade VF35. There is nothing irregular about the toning. The toning looks fine, as do the surfaces.

    XF 40 +.
    Easy to see why this year is high Dollar in high grade. They're just not out there in the wild. Nice specimen, though.

    Thanks everybody! These guesses are exactly what I was thinking. I'm calling it a VF30. I am conservative, even with my own coins. I agree it's possible to get an XF. I'm happy with this new addition. :)

    EF-40. I don't think that there is much, any luster in the protected spots so that is as high as it can go.

    There actually is the ever so slightest luster in the devices, but it's impossible to capture in the picture.

    Then it might qualify is a "classic EF-45." Those coins tend make AU-50 in the holder these days.

    At any rate to trick is to find this coin in strict Mint State. That is really hard. There loads of "sliders" (Choice AUs) around.

    On a reassessment, with a bit more luster and less wear it would net out at MS62 I'd think. Not MS63 though as the price guide shows those skyrocketing in flight at the higher, lofterier grades.

    Many of us gripe about grade inflation, but it isn't that bad...yet.
