Please Guess the Grade of this Morgan Dollar

ajaan · July 22, 2012 10:52AM

I want to see if the collectors here agree with the grade assigned by PCGS. 1880-S with a slight rainbow. I'll post an image of the slab once there is a good sample of guesses. Thanks.

Seller's images, not mine.

Ms62, kinda hazy looking from pics and toning is ugly yellow.

I could even see a genuine with the haze.

63 PL ?

Crazy4Coins · July 22, 2012 11:13AM

64 would be my guess, although I wouldn't rule out 65.

Cam40 · July 22, 2012 11:15AM

not sure about the boo boo on the eyebrow though.

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 11:17AM

64+PL

pursuitofliberty · July 22, 2012 11:23AM

64, and very likely PL

LindeDad · July 22, 2012 11:29AM

AU55 netted for improper dip removal.

TennesseeDave · July 22, 2012 11:33AM

They are really tough on that date and mintmark so I would say 63.

ajaan · July 22, 2012 11:41AM

hmmm . . . I guess grading by an image isn't the best idea. I'll let a few others chime in before showing the slab.

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 11:45AM

It's a good thing I don't have something really really important to do right now!

DaggoB · July 22, 2012 11:46AM

64

The reverse has too much cartwheel for a PL designation. MS64+

I guess I should have read all the posts before I responded! I think it is a MS66 with no PL.

Nice slab!

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 12:02PM

<< Nice slab! >>

You're right,but what about the coin?

ajaan · July 22, 2012 12:08PM

What's the greysheet bid on this coin? I only have an older sheet.

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 12:11PM

$400

ajaan · July 22, 2012 12:20PM

<< $400 >>

Wow! My May 4, 2012 sheet has the bid at $310.

Thanks.

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 12:40PM

Mine is last year. I don't invest alot in these services. But the PCGS price guide is at $420.That's a pretty wide divergence.

Buzzybest · July 22, 2012 12:55PM

Correction: $385. God,prices are crashing lately!

CarlWohlforth · July 22, 2012 1:09PM

My guess (I know I'm too late) was 65 and I was going to make clear I felt it would not get the PL designation. This despite the frost - the fields just don't reflect. I was going to say I couldn't really tell how bad/minor the marks were along Liberty's nose line with my guess that they were relatively minor.

Edited to add: I do like the coin and am surprised at many of the replies.

stealer · July 22, 2012 2:31PM

It's a 5 all day long, but I definitely don't see a 6.

Several PCGS 66s of this date have gone for under $250 on eBay this year.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 22, 2012 3:37PM

Man, I never would have guessed from that image.

Could you please point me to these auctions. The lowest I found was $296.
