What grade would you give it? I'll reveal the TPG's grade later on.

    Put me in for a 65

    I like it at (ANACS) MS66, but 65 is also good.

    Waffling between 64 and 65, but went with 65 because of the common date and quality of the cheek. A date that's tougher in 65 probably gets stuck on 64.

    [Edit to add: From this image, I can't tell at all whether or not the coin is PL.]

    MS64 due to the weak turkey feathers.

    I went 65PL.
    I'd grade 64 and maybe PL (need to see in hand) but I could see this in a 65pl holder...
    It appears to have a nice cameo contrast, somewhat hidden beneath toning, but clearly there.

    A nice MS-65. Commonly well-struck date.

    I went with 65 PL.

    The coins doesn't have many contact marks and the mirrors are most likely hidden by the toning.

    Extremely nice coin!

    I went with 65 no PL, but after a second look that chatter on the obverse looks kinda deep. It could border 64 as well.

    I went with MS64. Does not look PL to me.

    Now that I more clearly see a scratch on the chin, I retract my 65 and replace it with 64.
  • WhatafindWhatafind Posts: 432
    I don't know , but iwould say 64.
    But the reverse at the lower rim looks like PVC damage on my moniter. Deep green color.
    CAn anyone see that?
    I do like it.

    64. It's a 1880-s, these well struck, PL coins are the norm for the early S mint Morgans. They have to be knock outs to get the higher grades.

    Trust me. This coin is a knock out. image

    Is this from your recent "old ANA holder hoard"?
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

  • GoldenEyeNumismaticsGoldenEyeNumismatics Posts: 13,187 ✭✭✭
    66PL if you'd dip it first.
  • DJCoinzDJCoinz Posts: 3,856 ✭


    << <i>Is this from your recent "old ANA holder hoard"? >>

    Perhaps...image

    Yes it is. image IMO it has a very good chance of regrading at the 66PL level. My camera really picks up and magnifies the slightest disturbance...in hand you can see that the "hits" on the cheek actually aren't hits at all, just breaks in the frost (all except the one directly above the neck/jaw line. that is the only actual hit on the cheek). This one will be staying with me and probably going along with my next submission. image

    That's a nice one, and I got it right because I remembered looking at it before. image

    I see very nice contrast but I don't see mirrors.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Is it just me, or does that reverse toning almost look like it was liquid at one time? Guess I've not seen one exactly like that before.
    Just wondering, it is a real nice coin.
