Recent pick up.
What grade would you give this 1893s Morgan?
I will post the grade Friday morning

Thank you everyone for your comments.
I was surprised of the wide range of guesses from vg8 to vf20, details to straight grade.
Originally, I too thought this coin was details because of the rim dings however looking on PCGS photograde there are many straight graded coins with dings.
As a side note, I always have trouble verifying the lower grade 1893s for the die scratch top “T” and the rabbits ears on the left foot of “R”.

It's a bit bumpy but I think it straight graded. VG10

F12. I don’t think the rim issues are serious enough to have resulted in a details-grade.

F12, no dtls grade here too.
F12-F15
F15 details
Given a straight grade, it's a VG8
(Or VG Details)
I'm between VG10 and F12.
I'm at VG10.

I would grade it details, not a straight grade.
I like the detail of the S strike, VF20
VG8

Was thinking vg at best. On second thought, Mr. Feld has these pegged most of the time. So likely a just made it F.
F12
Given it’s a key date. I’m thinking it is a shoe in for a straight grade too.

8 or 10. Higher should have lines visible in the cotton balls behind “LIBERTY”

Moral of this thread is when you see a coin that you think should be in a details holder (no matter if it is or not), pass.
