I don't own this one (belongs to Islandcoins) , but this is what I consider to be a true blue Moose:

Edited to fix the photo. It was tough to load!

Taking into consideration a tough date/mintmark for toning, for an 1878-CC, this is a moose...

that photo is juiced (saturated). Did you do that or did it come that way?

This one really should be RE SUBMITTED

an absolute NO BRAINER !
edit to add: even with the gouge in liberty's eyebrow it's much nicer than a 62.

I dunno, it's a proof. I would bet at an angle you might just see a lot of harsh hairlines accounting for the grade.

You are probably right.... I tend to forget we are one dimensional here

I think you will find that Island coins pictures are very close, if not right on to what his coins will look like. This is not hear say as I have owned several coins that have been for sale on his site in the past, and all were a true representation of what the coins looked like in hand.

Stuart,

That's a beautiful coin. I've begun looking at proof Morgans. I looked at my first batch at the Long Beach Show.
Why is that only graded a 62? Assuming accurate images that looks to be a much higher grade.

I saw a PCGS cameo pf 65 go for 55k. Unbelievable coin. I'm still kicking myself not going for a 63 cameo that
was in my price range.

I.m just curious on what that coin is worth, I have a similar one without the toning and not slabbed. But it is in extremely fine condition.

Thanks for the several comments that I have received on my 1898 PCGS Proof 62 Cameo Morgan Dollar that I posted earlier on this thread.

I should first give proper photo credit to fellow forum member Jason Stevens (JBSteven), from whom I purchased this coin several years ago. I immediately fell in love with this (my only proof Morgan) because of the great eye appeal for a Proof 62, which is strongly enhanced by the beautiful blue and brown peripheral toning.

In reply to your requests, please see the second set of photos that I have posted below which accentuate the contact marks and hairline scratches, to complement the original set of photos which better demonstrate the beautiful toning of this coin.

I hope that this additional information is helpful to those who are curious about the coin's Proof 62 Cameo grade. I feel that the coin certainly has better than Proof 62 eye appeal, but that it's probably technically graded about right.

Dammit man,I was shocked to see that little S on the reverse.That looks like a fullblown proof.

Windycity · February 25, 2007 11:29AM

Posted many times before, but still a moose.

Someone walked into the local coinshop with the biggest Morgan Moose I have ever seen, it was mind numbingly outstanding! It also had one of the old ANA paper photo certs form the 80's with it.

I will request he bring it back for a photo op, you folks will freak!
