    I know the grade, so I won't participate in the poll but it's a nice looking Morgan!

    NGC is very strict with these IMO. I'm going MS 63.

    My wag as a totally inexperienced grader , with these photos (and the photos are great) I would think 64, if the luster is there possibly 65. Nice coin regardless.

    I gave it a 64, might be too much chatter in the fields for 65 grade.
    Nice looking coin.

    I really like the look of the coin. I just could not vote for a 65 but I feel it just has that look that does not translate well into numbers. I cast my ballot for a Regrettable 64... Wonderful coin

    The coin has the eye appeal and panache of a gem; unfortunately the grade nitpickers point to marks. It's the art of grading vs. the technical school.

    Based on the images, I think our hosts would grade it 65 first time through.

    Disagree. Not now. Perhaps in a few years as it is an attractive coin. There was a time when a 65 needed strong hair over the ear. That requirement is slowly slipping and weaker to "normal" strikes with great eye appeal are making 65.

    ...what did CAC say or is she in route?

    Well... It looks 63 to me.... but I am a bit tough on Morgans.... I do like how they look in those red holders though... Cheers, RickO

    CAC doesn't sticker Redfield or Paramount holders.

    :(

    ... :( indeed...killer coin for sure!

    I'm ok with that coin being graded Ms 64. I'm not crazy about the gray in the hair/cheek but it's clean enough for MS 64 otherwise.

    Am I hallucinating a MM in the original image?
