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

PCGS MS-65+

82 S looks to be a 65

SurfinxHI · March 9, 2017 5:10PM

64+ to me

65

golden · March 9, 2017 5:24PM

65+.

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

chumley · March 9, 2017 5:26PM

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

Wabbit2313 · March 9, 2017 5:38PM

66 with a plus on any given day.

jcping · March 9, 2017 5:40PM

Looks 65 to me

logger7 · March 9, 2017 5:45PM

Around 66.

CascadeChris · March 9, 2017 5:46PM

65+/66 unless the pics are hiding something.

bigjpst · March 9, 2017 5:49PM

65+ Little too much going on with the reverse for any higher 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.

I believe the slab says 66.

jedm · March 9, 2017 10:15PM

I'm feeling this one got a 66 grade.

Pokermandude · March 9, 2017 10:32PM

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

Gemstrike · March 9, 2017 10:48PM

Such a sweet cheek! 65+

mannie gray · March 9, 2017 10:50PM

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.

joebb21 · March 10, 2017 12:48AM

65

ricko · March 10, 2017 5:54AM

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

BIGAL2749 · March 10, 2017 9:00AM

65+

Shamika · March 10, 2017 9:08AM

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.

mercurydimeguy · March 10, 2017 9:14AM

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
