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

    It's an easy 64 but I wouldn't say 66.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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

    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 ;)

    I'd say a solid MS65 because of reed marks on reverse, or, would grade higher.

    MS-65+. I think the reed marks on the reverse are pushing it just below being MS-66.

    PCGS graded this one a MS-65+ Most of you were either right on or off by half a point.
