    MS64 with really cool colors. Colors are market acceptable but with stuff like this I know it's just as possible to be AT as NT though.

    MS-63.

    and VERY NICE BTW.

    I say PCGS graded this MS62.
    They have been tough on Morgans lately...
    If this was graded over a year ago it could be resting in a 63 holder at best.
    Nice colors...image

    My guess is MS63
  • fcfc Posts: 12,793 ✭✭✭
    BU. there are so many morgans out there, i do no think they
    should get a point grade unless a key date.

    I really think those marks are a little harsh for anything above a 63, but it's probably graded 64. This coin is all about the toning. Now I'll admit, I'm not generally a fan of fully-toned Morgans. The color is nice enough, but the spots just look weird to me. They draw my eye, and not in a good way. It seems to have very nice luster. I recognize that it's attractive, but it just doesn't flip my switch. I like the reverse more than the obverse. I hate to be the turd in the punchbowl here, but you asked for opinions, and this is what I'd be thinking if I saw it listed for sale. Even though the picture is great, I might have a totally different impression in hand.

    63 obverse 64 reverse, so maybe PCGS MS63? Who really cares about the grade when they look this nice.

    Low end MS 64, toning/eye appeal moves it from a 63 to the next level IMHO

    Having a PCGS 1883 CC graded ms63 looking a bit better than this I say:

    If PCGS: 62
    If NGC: 63, maybe 64

    MS63

    Although I think the color might give this a slight nudge toward 64 for "eye appeal".

    Very attractive coin. I am in the 63 PQ camp on this one.

    Darn, called out on my comments. Well I am going from memory of my 83 cc, so I will post a pic of it as soon as I find it whether it makes a fool of me or not. Hope my memory serves me correctly. Stay tuned.

    my screen sez a sweet 64, even though I'm not a big toner fan.
  • dizzleccdizzlecc Posts: 1,125 ✭✭✭
    It is a 64 with very nice colors.

    The big and clear pics make the marks bigger.
