    About 50, I think it is wear I am seeing. Hard to judge very well from the picture.

    Thanks - I was kind of hoping you'd do it without cheating as I disagree with the grade PCGS gave it... image

    So now what grade do you think it shoud have gotten?

    I am just learning how to grade, but I would give that a 63 just from the picture. For me, O's are tough because of their week strikes. They all look worn.

    Thanks for posting. Please post the PCGS grade. (Was it the 55?)

    tough to grade from that picture ... 58 if there's rub (looks like there is) ... 62/3 if not

    It is not wear.

    Morgans struck in New Orleans are typically very weak above the ear and on the eagle's breast feathers.

    63, if uncirculated.

    Here it is - MS62 - EBAY

    I think the grade is off. Even with the poor strikes of O mints, this one seems odd. Almost like it has been altered/wizzed. I'd say the ear and breast looks like AU50ish wear even though the rest looks better. Perhaps in hand in looks more like a 62.

    That blue color hurts my eyes and it is reflecting in the coin too.

    I don't think I see wear, but that is one heck of a pancake. 62.

    Wow, very typical of the weak stike O dollars for that decade. I'd say you have a nice 63. Strike is
    holding it back from anything higher even tho it looks like the contact marks are few and far between.

    MS62 seems right. That's weak even for a New Orleans mint coin, and the weakness is quite distracting IMO.
