    Not much ...

    The coin is only a strong MS-63 or weak 64 and the reverse is consistent with that. Some might disagree, but the dulling on the reverse is consistent with a 140 year old coin with original surfaces.

    It's not too distracting.

    I personally like the album toning. To me it frames the coin. I wish the reverse mimicked the obverse.

    That's a nice strike for the date!

    64, personally I would of dipped out the nasty on the obverse before sending her in. Congrats!

    Being a 63/64 coin, I would say the reverse does not really impact the grade....Cheers, RickO

    If PCGS graded it lower than 63 I think you could say that "Yes" it was effected by the reverse. "Should" it have been? That is where the discussion would start. 79-O was the first Morgan I looked for after reading Mr Bowers Red Book on Morgans way back when. Super tough date. I personally like this coin and the contrast. I can see why others may not though. When do we get the grade reveal? :)

    No, not anymore than the OBV. A 64 is on the generous side overall.
