Wow. Rough crowd! No coin bashing.
Sorry - I am not bashing it per se, it is what it is and I think that its great. It probably did get all those bag marks from something like that and that is what makes them interesting. I love my 1854 $10 that is like that, I can see it in a stagecoach bag because that is how they transported stuff back in the day. I mean it is really cool to have a coin straight from the press that is MS67 that has been pampered for a century but some of those real coins, like a CC from the 1890's only survived MS or near MS by shear luck and had a hard life for a time.

Winner! I consider this piece to be 53/55 but IMO it's “choice” AU and think it will stand up to many 55s.
Fun fact about these is that the plan was to make multiple denomination ingots using the same process, hence the hand-punched fineness and “50”. As many as 13 steps were involved in the production of these, and they intended to make $100, $200, or virtually any other necessary size desired. Ultimately, most were melted and normal dies were subsequently engraved simplifying the labor intensive and cumbersome nature of these "coins".

Nice gues Jfriedm56, your turn.

That was too easy !
The coin had its own grade imprinted right on the back.
And @dcarr, if you’re calling it copper/ nickel, there would be no color designation RB as you called it . Also no C/N Indians for circulation, would have the L initial. Just a reminder.

I realize that. That is why I called it a "no "L" variety
The color portrayed by a photo can be misleading. There is no certain way to tell from the photo color if it is copper-nickel or bronze. I have seen copper-nickel cents that I would label "RB".

My grade of MS64 above was for the 1927 $20 and it posted 2 hrs delayed? What the?
For the 1891-CC Morgan I'll go MS66+ if it's ok with the group?

Since MS60 and 61 are already taken, I will guess MS62 (which is also plausible).
Nope
