    It's a strong 64. People need to remember my images are large and well lit which tends to show every mark on a coin.

    Hey Eric, nice coin- I know you said 64, but that looks good at 65 to me.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Hey! I wasnt that far off! I typically grade tough anyway so that means I'm right on! LOL!


    Yeah, your images are very big and micro grading comes into effect. But your not asking grade anyway so in this case doesn't matter what I grade it at .........it's a neato coin!

    Sweet coin Eric....I agree with the grade of MS64.....the back is better, but the Obverse limits it to a 64......but oh what a colorful 64 it is image

    I think there could be an outside shot at 5, but I wouldn't count on it. One thing about this coin is that it is very well struck for this date.

    very well struck with great toning on reverse, but obverse makes it a 64 at very best......nice coin though!! Let us know if PCGS is as convinced as you that it's a 64!image

    Can I take it that you won't be sniping that one? Figured you wouldn't be putting it up here until afterwards if so. Looks like baboon nite on Teletrade to me. Quacks already have a '73 PCGS PR69DCAM jeff at $95 and the highest paid price before this was $47(including the premium).

    I bet you could make a killing selling those same ICG toners over there tonight. image

    I missed that you had that one also. I decided to put together a matching morgan gold toned rim "One per Year" set in 63/64 for some fun. Trying for "O's" for most of the set since I lived in New Orleans most of my life. Cheap, decent & matching gold toning as close as possible is the object. Nothing special, but here's the first one. Have my eye on a couple of other cheap gold rimmed one's tonight.

    It's at PCGS and it will make 64.

    Why don't you tell him the story about that coin, who it was bought from raw, what that seller graded it, and what PCGS said.

    Purchased when I was new to the morgan scene from K6AZ, 63, 63, and I still have it. image

    That's what I was going to say -- that is an exceptional strike for an 88-O, and harder to find than most would think. Great pickup!!
