    The slab scratches are hiding the beauty of the coin. Must be nice in hand.

    i might try a light simichrome on it which hopefully will help that a little bit.

    They dont come around all that often. Very fair price.

    i will reslab if I have to...total pcgs/ngc pops are 290 with 38 higher. I think it reps nice value.

    The slab is not the problem, your lighting is very harsh and highlights all the slab imperfections and lights the coin in a less than flattering way. I'm not ragging on your photo skills just noting what I observe as I view your photos. I suspect that the coin is nicer in hand and congrats on your new addition.

    Some Novus #2 plastic polish will buff those scuffs out.

    Beautiful Morgan.

    Popular issue.

    I don't mind that slab, at all.

    Congrats!!

    I agree that it is all about the coin.
    A very nice one at that.

    They're both problems. Polish the slab and soften the lights. Looks like it's VAM 19.

    While I agree that polishing the slab is a good idea it is not a requirement or as big an issue as the lighting. There are ways around that with the use of a light oil to make those scratches almost invisible to the lens.

    Great coin. Clean the slab with scratch remover, not sure the brand name. I believe you wouldn't want to pay to reslab, unless you wish to change slabs. I used to have quite a few PL, CAM and DCAM Morgans until people started liking them and price went out of site. Nothing much prettier in silver than those. Congrats.

    Well, I feel like it is a special day. The person I bought the above coin from delivered the coin today face to face as we live very close to each other. Instead of the one pictured able he decided to give me this. Out of the goodness of his heart. No BS

    I just know what to say but I so so grateful to him for his kindness.
