Lets all have some fun, guess the grades on some common morgans.

Coin 1


Coin 2


Coin 1 was one of my 1st submissions several years ago to test myself on grading.

Coin 2 was a recent purchase that i thought was certainly a much more attractive coin about the same grade but certainly thought it looked proof like.

    If the scratch is on the holder, then

    1) 64
    2) 65 PL

    If not, then 1 is gen, scratch.

    I was baffled by the first two replies in this thread. The first coin looks uncirculated, though I wouldn’t guess the grade without knowing if that’s a scratch on the holder or the coin. I’ll go with MS65PL on the second one. Based on the images provided, I’d be shocked if it graded less than 64.

    First one looks soft, I'll guess 62. Second one is nice, I'll guess 65. :)

    Trying to use my secret decoder ring on the first one, that holder needs a good polishing....
