Help grading a couple of Morgans

morbidsteve · January 18, 2014 8:22AM

Was just looking at picking some more Morgans up, and have these photos from the seller. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind giving your guestimate on grades. I'm also curious how my grading skills are on these.

First up is this 82. I think this is about a 62.

Next, 83. I think this guy is also a 62.

An 84. I think she's about 63. Not too much in the fields to take away like the others.

What do you guys think?
Thanks for the help!

Not the easiest pics to grade from. I could see all of them at 64.

Yes, I think your grades are probably spot on. Might put a plus sign on the 2nd one.

you took the grades right out of my analysis and I'm wondering if you copied my photo techniques as well.

morbidsteve · January 18, 2014 9:28AM

Haha, no copying anywhere!! I just guestimated. I just see a lot of marks so I started at 63 and went down.

Steve, I would agree with you on those grades, too. Hard to tell , out of hand.

Kindly,

I think they would go 63-64 yor reverse pics are fuzzy refocus man!
Edit to add yes they are sellers pics I know.... use editor to sharpen a bit....

Steve: I agree with your grades.

Looks like you are spot on with your grades

Wow. Same here!

CC's are relatively easy to grade. I think you're pretty much spot on. I don't see the coins being any lower than you've called them.

Thanks for all the input so far!

62, 63, and 63.

rec78 · January 18, 2014 1:02PM

63, 63, 64.

joebb21 · January 18, 2014 1:16PM

63, 63, 64.

I think you are overweighing the frost breaks. Don't see a lot of dings.

I do like your style in grading - I do not think they will grade below what you stated. You seem to be a conservative grader.

Yes, this is definitely true. Especially when I'm considering buying!!
